Wood chips and carpet
Ed,
I don't have this issue as living in Florida and having cats, kids and being the neighborhood house we tiled the house a long time ago. Gene Gross, an AAW member in central Fl does have this problem and he's found a legging solution that is cost effective and allows him to wear what ever foot wear he wants. I'll try to get hold of him this week and find out where he gets them if you still are looking.
