hippymamato3 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 If you have a "no shoes in the house" policy, does everyone just go barefoot? If not, what do you wear? DH doesn't like to be barefoot and I'm looking for suggestions for him, but also for kids or me (I usually wear flip flops in the house but they are kinda cold.) Thank you!

Sneezyone Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 We go about in socks and bare feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
history-fan Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 We leave the "outside" shoes by the door and have "inside" shoes that we wear inside. They are regular shoes that we just wear in the house. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Crocs.....lined Crocs for warmth if you want that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wathe Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 DH has a dedicated pair of house crocs, and I have a dedicated pair of house Birkenstocks. The kids go barefoot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Regular shoes here. We leave any shoes that have been outside or out of the house by the door, and just wear normal shoes that mostly stay inside. Used to go barefoot, but weird toe issues mean I wear either birks or a very specific type of running shoe. Kids wear slippers or socks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgrace Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) My kids and I just wear socks. My feet do best that way. When I need tread (for some types of exercise I do), I have a pair of aqua socks I use. My husband has a pair of crocs for inside the house.

matrips Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 House crocs, socks, or bare feet at our house 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I buy regular shoes for in the house, but make sure they have good support and are soft to walk on. No hard shoes that hurt. I find shoes that are more comfortable to wear than being barefoot. Find him a pair of good indoor shoes he can wear that will support his feet well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I wear socks all the time, my husband goes barefoot all of the time, and my daughter mixes it up. No house shoes or slippers for us. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Ugg’s for winter barefoot summer. I need a summer solution though as we have tiles and my knees and hips get sore. But it needs to be slip on, comfy and cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Birkenstocks Arizona style when I need to for foot issues, like plantar fasciitis or trying to avoid same. Otherwise barefoot in summer or just socks when it's cold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I've done B&B's with no shoes policies. they had a basket of slippers in different sizes for people to wear. the slippers are only in the house - so they're not tracking dirt/etc. I have a pair of old sheepskin slippers handy by my garage door so if I have to go in there - I have something warm for my feet. I have newer sheepskin slippers (costco gets them in around aug/sept for about $20-$25. heck of a deal for real sheepskin.) for wearing around the house. I also have some "ballet-shoe-style" non-slip socks (I have hardwoods - socks and hardwoods are a good mix for sliding. Not such a good thing on stairs.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is only about not tracking in outside dirt, and for some reason neither slippers nor socks is an option (I guess?) then it seems the easiest thing is for him to pick out his most comfortable style of shoe, buy an extra pair, and have those as inside-only shoes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 DS goes barefoot, DH wears crocs and I wear Vionics Mary Janes. I’ve had them for years and they desperately need replacing; I’m watching this thread for ideas. No slippers or anything warm for me—I’m chronically too hot as it is— but I do need support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Most days, socks. Extra cold days, fuzzy slipper socks for me. Fo the boys, they do socks on extra cold days. On the warmer days, I find random socks strewn all over the house from whenever they decided to go barefoot. 😠 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Barefoot, slippers, socks, or Crocs (when my feet hurt and need something more). Edited December 30, 2020 by alisoncooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobblygook Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 We typically do not wear shoes in our house. Most of us go barefoot but will usually put on socks or slippers in the winter. I do have some clean sneakers that I use on my indoor spin bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Most go in socks. I don't like cold feet, so I wear slippers year-round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splash1 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 in summer haflinger sandles or supportive flip flop and in winter haflinger grizzly clogs. All hard floors here so barefoot isn't a good option for me. Dh is the same. Kids mostly socks or barefoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Birkenstock’s clogs or Vionic slippers in winter, alegria or Vionic flip flops in summer. I need the support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamonlyone Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Husband: slippers; grown kids when visiting: barefoot, socks or fuzzy socks; me: used to be barefoot or fuzzy socks, but I have fat pad atrophy, so now I wear crocks with insoles (with or without socks, depending on the season) or running shoes with insoles (only worn in the house) if I am going to be on my feet cooking/cleaning, etc. most of the day. My crocs are old and have worn unevenly on the bottom, so I am glad to see the suggestions on this thread...off to investigate Birks and Vivonic...

iamonlyone Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have something they like that is easy to slip on, has a back strap (like crocs), but is more supportive than crocs (especially metatarsal support)? I tend to run up and down stairs, and I need something that will stay on my feet! Edited December 30, 2020 by iamonlyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I have house shoes...I have foot issues and need structure and support. Currently I am wearing Olukai house slippers (fuzzy moccasins) but in non-winter I wear either Vionic flip flops or Vionic ballet slippers. Most everyone else goes barefoot in the house. Most of them own slipper scuffs or house moccasins but choose not to wear them. House shoes are not worn outdoors (Outside shoes bring in grit, dirt, and harmful chemicals like pesticides.) Most of my friends have no-shoes policies. I tuck my Vionic Tide 2s into my bag to wear at their houses when I visit. Some have baskets of socks for others. Everybody just kind of remembers house policies after the first visit, iykwim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I really wanted Haflinger wool clogs to work for my feet. There was not nearly enough arch support for me, but there was plenty of width across the metatarsals. I think you could add a metatarsal pad if you needed to (like the pedag petal shape).

PeterPan Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 There's also the OCD option of wiping your shoe bottoms when you come in. No seriously, I'm normally barefoot with occasional forays into slippers, but after running on the beach barefoot several miles (yes that was me) my feet really needed SHOES. And not my normal thin zero drop shoes but a thick soled recovery zero drop. Sigh. Otherwise, couldn't even stand to walk my feet hurt so bad. So now I wear them to the store, wipe wipe, wear them in the house. My dh wears house shoes. His are loafers with inserts put in. He always wears them because if he doesn't his feet hurt. He used to wear slippers. I think wear what fits your climate and style. My ds got me some MukLuk slipper socks for Christmas and they're WONDERFUL, so warm and soft, with grippers so I don't go flying down the stairs.

I tend to run up and down stairs, and I need something that will stay on my feet! Maybe you should look into zero drop shoes? Maybe you're needing something really different from what you've tried before... Zero drop kinda feel like being barefoot, because you're so connected and stable. I wear Altra, and they have different kinds. They probably have a slip on. There are several brands of zero drop, depending on your needs. My dd wears these cute wrap shoes that she found on amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmasc Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 For years, my normal inside ‘slippers’ were a favorite pair of flip flops. I needed something new this summer, so I kind of randomly tried these and I love them! They’re more cushiony than my flip flops, (but not too cushiony bc I don’t like that!), and I can wear socks with them if my feet are cold or I’m slipping off boots from being outside and have socks on already.

Bedroom slippers are allowed by my parents and in-laws. Guests usually just leave their socks on. The rule is so that we don't track dirt into the house. My bedroom slipper is a Columbia fleece lined clog for cold weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
