Robot vacuum daily helps lots. Lots of runner rugs that are machine washable helps too, floor bits get wiped off on rugs, floor and rugs get vacuumed daily, rugs get washed monthly, floor gets big vacuum-ed and mopped while rugs wash. Socks still stay on after shoes come off. Never socks without shoes though. No shoes day is no socks day. Also, it doesn't matter if the socks were literally on my feet for 30 seconds, if the socks come off they do not go back on. They are now dirty and go straight in the basket. Same with all clothing really. I have no idea how people wear pants or bras two days in a row let alone the "I never wash this article of clothing ever" crowd. Shudder what the fuck do you mean you don't wash something that you touch?! It's literally there to block dirt and absorb sweat, the fuck Is wrong with you sick fucks?!
