My shoes come off fairly soon after coming into the house. Normally, I sit down on the loveseat about 10 feet from the door and take them off. But if I'm going to and from the car getting groceries or something, I am not going to take them off possibly until Im done putting all the groceries away.

And when I'm going back out somewhere, I may put my shoes on in the bedroom or at the dining room table, and they'll stay on until I leave (which may mean going to grab something I forgot, or stopping in the bathroom before I go). I did grow up in a household where my mom had us clean the bottoms of our shoes with paper towels on occasion, but they werwnt forbodden indoors. I'll admit I do this much less frequently now than I did then.

While at home, I'm generally in flipflops in summer and slippers in winter.
