Why didn’t I think of this?
Where I live, in the Italian countryside, everybody wears slippers almost all the time. You put on serious shoes to muck out the chickens or to hoe the cabbages, then doff those and put the slippers back on when you are done.
Since that is true, I can’t think why I never thought up a way to wear slippers and work unconsciously at the same time. If I look at the many versions of slippers I have, almost all of them are dual duty in that they look like they are not slippers, but instead are evening shoes, tap dancing shoes, beach shoes or even shoes one wears in the seraglio in hopes the Sultan will send for you this night.
All these years I could have been cleaning the house instead.
