It's exactly what you described. I have a pair of slippers and a pair of shoes. I change footwear everytime I need to pass through the door. You only need one pair of indoor footwear, just make sure you enter the house the same door you exited.

You just take your shoes off at the door and put them back on when you leave.
Not everyone lives in an apartment with 1 door.
what does this have to do with anything
They said, at "the" door. If your house has multiple doors, then it's a habit and memory activity to remember to change shoes.
Bonus points if you have dedicated slip on shoes near the door for taking out the trash, getting the mail, etc.
How does wearing outside shoes inside work? Do you just live with the muddy streak, grass and dirt that gets dragged in on your shoes? Does everyone just own a steam cleaner truck they use once a week?
I've never understood that concept. Maybe I don't live somewhere that they vacuum the outdoors so I don't drag it in.
You overestimate how much nature we step in on a given day. It's usually basically cement everywhere
What drives me wild is shoes while on the bed.
You have no idea if you walked on dog shit and now you're spreading it on your fabrics?
It's my house. The kids are always making a mess. I'll wear my shoes where I please.
Baskets of slip-ons? Dafuq? Just put your shoes on at the door. You can carry them to a different door if you need to. It's not that far a walk.
I have soft soled slippers for bedroom / office parts of the house.
Hard soled slippers for those short trips to the garage or trash or to get the mail.
And for everything else, an actual pair of shoes (yeah yeah I only have one).
I actually always wear some sort of slipper inside though because 1) my feet get cold 2) I don't want to get my socks or feet extra dirty and 3) I feel weird having my feet "unprotected", I know slippers add nothing but it somehow brings me peace of mind.
This is the way
This is the craziest thing to me...
I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I put my boots or shoes on at the door before I go out, and I take them off when I get home. If I get cold feet, I may put on slippers.
Inside the house, I'm bare foot or in socks. If I take the trash out and it's nice, I go out barefoot. If it's snowy or frigid cold (I'll leave the Winnipeg weather up to you for a fun google) I put on my boots.
I don't know anyone who wears shoes indoors unless they are elderly and need the support. It's a sign of middle age / senior age living here.
It hits me every now and then about how to do things though, like, say I’m cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I’m assuming it’s change shoes
It depends on where your bin is and the ground conditions. After long enough not wearing shoes the soles of my feet are like leather, so it's no great hardship nipping outside in bare feet. I did once step on a snail while tripping and that was one of the most unpleasant sensations of my entire life.
I don't wear my indoor clothes when out and will usually wear something different when out in the evening, compared to the day. So quickly putting some boots on is no great extra hassle.
There's so many answers but no one has answered your question.
In our house there are 4 external doors.
Only one of which is used for egress when we intend to leave the property. This is where all our actual shoes are kept on a rack.
We have a "pool" of slip ons which are shared between the household. Slip on like flip flops or sandals. No care is given as to where these are left. If you exit through door 2 and re-enter through door 3 then you leave the slip ons at door 3. Occasionally when you go to exit there's no slip ons at that exit, just go to another exit. It's a minor inconvenience and doesn't happen often.
You could use baskets but it's just a pain. With flip flops there's no "putting on" stage. You just walk over them and they become attached to your feet. Baskets wouldn't get used if they were present at our house.
I wear whatever I want whenever I want. I have no carpets to fuss over, and I have cats so you never know when you might step in some mess. We vacuum and mop regularly so don't really care.
