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

I can’t imagine wearing shoes indoors because of how filthy the outdoors is, but good for you for taking the leap!

Wear socks in the house only. Have an indoor doormat near the door where your outdoor shoes sit. Treat your indoor doormat as the “outside” and treat it like lava, not to be touched by anything but outdoor shoes. When you come in from outside, you remove your shoes near the edge of your indoor mat and step your clean socked feet one at a time off of the mat and onto your normal flooring (not on the mat, the mat is dirty).

When going outside, step your clean socks from your flooring into the shoes on your mat.

TL;DR: the outside is lava, your indoor door mat (because your outdoor shoes touch it) is lava. Your shoes are all lava-walking shoes. Your socks will burn up in the lava 🔥

Your floors will be so much cleaner and more sanitary and won’t have to be cleaned as often, and you won’t have microscopic amounts of dog poop and piss and grime and dirt everywhere.
