However, I don't have wall-to-wall carpeting either...we have hard wood floors, tile, and three area rugs (and those are in low traffic areas). So a quick sweep is all it usually takes.

Well, that makes more sense, though it still seems a bit weird to wear outdoor shoes inside. But then I think we may get more regularly inclement weather and snow up here, so there's a good chance of tracking mud and drippiness inside if we do so. Thus, people like my dad wear indoor-only slippers during cold weather.
Thanks for the explanation! (Now back to your regularly scheduled reading; I'm currently on
Jane and the Damned, an obvious Austen-derivative by
Janet Mullany.)
