Hi, James

Like you, I found no good answers, but several good questions.

I think I come across more carpets than you do. You must see a lot of
hardwood floors? I don't slip all that much. Another answer, though you
might feel kind of silly doing it, would be to keep a pair of those
"stocking-shoes" in your kit. You know the ones I mean? Like socks, except
they have a rubber tread painted on the bottom. Or, you could keep a pair
of slippers tucked in a corner of your kit. The point, after all, is not to
be unclad. It's to keep the outdoors outside. Any footwear used only inside
should be acceptable, I would think.

Very good point. I'll have to watch for it.
