Poop on shoes...

[Chris]

Get some good Rubber Boot, Don't wast your money on the cheap ones if your kids are going to use them a lot because you'll be buying new ones within a month.
We got our kids a good pair of rubber boots at a local harness and boot shop, I think we paid 25.00 a pair for them but there made good and they were made in Canada.

I like the "Muck" brand boots. In the summer I just roll-down the neoprene tops to keep cool. I do find myself re-gluing them about every two years.

Summer I'm with Emma--and a garden hose right by the door. And any shoe/boot that slips on and off with your hands full. And dogs seems to think poop is an incredible delicacy, no matter how much they have access to.

I have a no shoes in the house rule, keeps the poop contained to the outdoors or the entryway.

Yup, everyone here (from the 3 year old to my hubby) have barn sandals, rubber boots from TSC, and a pair of old sneakers (used depending on the time of year and task). They either stay on the barn porch or in the mudroom but do not enter the house. From time to time, (like when we went to a fair and wore our barn sneakers to go check out all of the animals there) we will soak them in a lysol solution to clean them up really well but most of the time we just let them be since we are only wearing them in our own animals poo.

I have boots like Straw Hat for general everyday use, including barn stuff, and I have an old pair of sneakers I put on if I don't feel like wearing boots. Lately though, I've just been going barefoot

For our "rainy season" aka Spring, I do have a pair of rubber boots but tend to only use them if it's one of those times my yard turns into a lake.

Can we have a picture of your boots please? lol

I have flip flops that I wear when I just go out to dump the hay over the fenceline into the feeder, but when I need to go into the pens I put on a pair of boots and my Carhartt coveralls

My flip flops stay inside the house next to the garage door, but my boots stay in the garage near the door.

Shoes come off in this household too. Even for guests. It is a habit that stuck very strongly after living in Japan for four years. There, outdoor shoes NEVER go further than the entryway. For good reason, it keeps the dirt and grime from getting dragged into the living area. Kinda odd that more people don't do that here in the States, especially since most houses have a lot of carpet, which is a dirt magnet compared to bamboo floors.
