It's makes it rough, though. I mean, I'm a sock-shoe-sock-shoe guy, so I put on one sock, go downstairs and grab a shoe, put it on, hop on one foot back upstairs to put the other sock on, hop back downstairs again, put on the other shoe, then I have to crawl on my hands and knees (being careful not to let my shoes touch the floor) to grab my coat, keys, whatever. It's a hassle because I can't reach them very well at that point.
I'm thinking of switching to sock-sock-shoe-shoe.
