We have a policy in our household of leaving outdoor footwear at the door. Well, I try to keep it
at least. But there are many times when I am in such a hurry that I can’t be bothered to reach
down and untie my shoes if I’m just going back in the house for a moment to grab something I
forgot.
Of course it’s a little different story in wintertime when I’m wearing boots with slush and snow
dripping off of them as soon as I step in the door. So unless I feel I don’t mind mopping the floor
later of the winter muck, I’ll usually end up removing them before running into the house.
Rules can be broken and it often depends on what season of the year it happens to be and also on
the type of footwear. I’ll probably never wear a pair of riding boots in the house for example.
But I’ll wear a pair of high heels any day.
