I was thinking about this exact thing.
I left 1/2",so I would have to run it right up to the base board, use quarter round, cut the door jams and trim, slip underneath,and poof, easy peasy

This is what I meant by 'shoe molding'
It's a little taller.

And I have no idea why it's called 'Shoe Molding'
Anyone know

Maybe it's about the height of a typical shoe. I don't know either.
But it looks better than your standard quarter round.
All You Need to Know About Shoe Molding
Matched to your baseboard, shoe molding is a thin strip of molding that gives your room a finished look. Get the guide on its purpose and installation here.

Because it goes on the floor, it keeps your shoe from damaging the bottom edge of base and back in the day you might hang the edge of your leather shoe sole in the gap between flooring & base
I don't need to know anything about shoe and crown molding. I now work like I play baseball ... IF it is between my knees and chest, I might take a swing at it.All You Need to Know About Shoe Molding

Caulk it.....
You only need a shoe molding if you install the flooring after the baseboard is in or you don't take the baseboard out to install the flooring and then reinstall it.. You don't have to calk anything in if you scribe it in and make it fit the waves in the floor.

We were talking about the gap under the door jams because carpeting is replaced with flooring. Try to keep up dummy....
I have another plan. I'm going to build some thresholds and stain them the same as the floor. They will be 1/2" thick and will slide right under the jam.
I also hurt my shoulder 4 weeks ago and had to put everything on hold.
I'm back at it, slow, but steady now.
No stupid, that's not what we're talking about. You don't put a shoe molding around the door jams you fucking bug eating meat head you get a saw and undercut them and take that shit out so you can slide the new floor right underneath it.
Try to keep up dummy
I'm refinishing the wood floors that were underneath the carpet; the original.
I'm sanding them now.
Got my Red Oak 2 1/4" replacement boards so I can 'lace' or 'finger' in the planks for the old furnace holes.

Shoe molding will be needed.
Sanding with an orbital sander is really time consuming, but WTF do I have to do anyway

Like I said, try to keep up dummy! He's trying to deal with the gap at the door jambs. You don't put quarter round at the jambs retard!

I did get a deal on Red Oak Flooring at Home Depot.
20 sq ft was suppose to cost $105.
Had the wrong tag on it.
Paid $50
Fuck those guys.

So he is dealing with too large a gap at the bottom of his door jambs and your solution is to cut more off the door jambs?!?!?!
You really should stay out of conversations you haven't got a clue about....
Please be careful with that shoulder. I am glad I wasn't too far off base suggesting a threshold.
That shue molding is also only about 9/16" thick which means if you left a 1/2 inch all the way around you're going to be perilously close to having a gap showing in places. A 1/4" inch gap between the new floor and the existing baseboards is plenty for expansion and contraction and then you have no issues with whatever you decide in terms of a shoe or a quarter round. Undercut undercutting the door jams and trim was the correct tactic because you can't put a shoe or a quarter round in that area.
