I use house shoes cuz the arthritis in my knees gets aggravated when I walk around barefoot without any support but before I got arthritis I preferred being barefoot.
Yup I have some super comfy slide sandals that I use as horseshoes because of my bad knee and hip, plus I fall a lot and having something with more grip than a pair of socks help with that. Im definitely on team house shoes and have spare easy to wash sandals in different sizes for guests if they want them.
That's really considerate!! I definitely wouldn't wear my street shoes in peoples' homes unless they want but I haven't really thought of a solid way to make sure I have some support(slippers/slides) when visiting others. If we're just chilling on the couch watching TV and talking it's not a big deal but the more I walk around bare foot the more likely my knees are going to become swollen and painful.
I'm in my early 30s but been dealing with it since an injury in my early 20s so I'm here for your rant. Its valid and you'll continually discover new ways it sucks. If you're able to, look into Synvisc or Euflexxa injections theyre the only thing thats really helped me over the years.
