Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?

  Not sure who’s down voting you, but socks are meant to be in shoes and shoes are meant to be in contact with the ground. Shoes have rubber soles, socks are cloth. One of these things is much more durable than the other.

  I have 90% hardwood floors and my socks get destroyed if I don’t wear slippers of some sort.

  Are you wearing shoes without socks?

    No, the whole point of socks is to protect your shoes from your feet.

      You know what? We could just put a plastic layer over the carpet to extend its life. That way we’d have shoes plus plastic and our carpet would always technically be clean, too!

        Add some quality of life to this by installing multi-layer plastic sheets with perforation at the wall for easy cleanup when you forget whether your current shoes are indoor or outdoor.
