    What are you protecting your feet from when relaxing in the living room? Is your coffee table regularly attacking you.

      I wear slippers inside mostly to protect agains cold floor, coffee tables, and most important of all, Lego bricks on the loose.

      Also another reason to wear shoes inside is when you are constantly going inside and outside. Which means then your floor is dirty… which means you want to protect your feet from the dirt. That’s a vicious cycle but can be one of the reasons.

        This is what Crocs were invented for. Just slip your feet into “outdoor slippers” on your way out, and kick them off on your way back in. You don’t even have to search for matching socks, and it still works in the rain

      Loose nails in the floorboards, kids’ toys, yes table legs, things dropping on them from height, cold floors, cold air, pouncing cats, slipping in puddles, hot oil spatter in the kitchen… life in a 140-year-old house with three kids and five cats, basically.

        Intresting, we have around the same aged house, four cats, a dog but no kids and have never really felt the need for shoes indoors.

        In that case I perfectly understand you. Society really doesn’t take coffee table attacks as seriously as they should, really vicious things if left on their own.
