What ends up happening is shoes at every door. I'm barefoot in the house nearly at all times. Floors need to be cleaned at a minimum weekly (especially with kids).

That's it.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

It hits me every now and then about how to do things though, like, say I’m cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I’m assuming it’s change shoes
It depends on where your bin is and the ground conditions. After long enough not wearing shoes the soles of my feet are like leather, so it's no great hardship nipping outside in bare feet. I did once step on a snail while tripping and that was one of the most unpleasant sensations of my entire life.
I don't wear my indoor clothes when out and will usually wear something different when out in the evening, compared to the day. So quickly putting some boots on is no great extra hassle.
I have outdoor-only sandles by the door and pop them on to run outside. Many people are just wearing shoes/boots that are easy to slip on and off here. Inside, I use slippers in the cooler months with socks, then just socks, and then barefoot as the weather gets warmer. Basically all of Japan functions this way. Many dentists/doctors offices require taking off shoes as well (though this seems to be fading somewhat).
You can carry your shoes wherever you need.
Crocs, my homie, crocs.
You just keep a pair by the door. That's for outside.
You wear either slippers, a different pair of crocs, or whatever slip-ons you prefer around the house, then just swap out.
Me? I'm barefootin' it inside, and slip into either crocs or mud boots, depending on weather and task. If I'm leaving the house, I go for regular shoes though. Crocs chafe over long periods.
Generally, you'll only need three pairs total to make it work. 1st for indoor use, 2nd for yard duties, 3rd for public wear. Obviously, you can do more, like boots or different stuff for public wear.
For public slip ons, go with mocs or driving slippers. But wear real shoes for biking or extended walking.
I don't do baskets. Makes slipping on and off a pain. Just pick up some mats. You can get cheap ones for this, since you won't be wiping your feet on them, they're just to keep the shoes semi contained.
Carpets need to be cleaned more often if you wear outside shoes inside, or if you go barefoot inside. Wearing socks (better) or slippers (best) inside keeps carpets cleaner longer. Hardwood floors are easier to clean with bare feet.
I really prefer hard floors and area rugs that are small enough to be washed in a machine.
I have dogs and for the last ten years or so, owned indoor sneakers. I do not like slippers or sandals so I buy some running shoes or something, cheap ones, on sale. They last forever because it's indoor only. I replace them when they get smelly.
I do not wear shoes that have been outside, in my place.
Works for me!
