I Like People Who Take Off Their Shoes Before Entering A Home

My home is a shoes and socks free zone! Shoes off right in the porch and then for me and the kids it’s socks off too and placed in the sock basket.
It’s more relaxing, comfortable and healthy to just be around the home barefoot. Plus I don’t go on a massive sock hunt on laundry days. 😀

I like the idea of a sock basket. Gonna have to try that. I'm always barefoot in the house, and anywhere else I can be.

@BarefootedBoy growing up,my mother kept a laundry basket in the kitchen where we could deposit socks when we came in. Boys especially had smelly sweaty socks after being at school or playing out. So they went in the laundry basket.

We never had that, but I'm going to put one here. If I have to wear socks for anything, I want 'em off as soon as I get in the door, and a basket is a great idea.

@BarefootedBoy also the laundry basket ww useful when we came in covered in mud from playing out. Sometimes we'd b caked. So we just stripped off and went and got straight in the bath. That way the house wasn't covered in mud.
We had house clothes growing up. So when we got in we changed into them.
I still do this and all my male friends do. They always had house clothes.
Old habits and all that
