barefoot always. Shoes are not allowed in our house. We take them off just inside the door. It's a germ thing. Think about it! I don't wear house shoes or slippers or socks. I just can't get any traction like that! I rarely wear real shoes unless we have snow...we're a flip flop family, so my 4-year-old says. :D
I don't think I could sew with shoes on.
Here is something a little related...I was wearing my brown leather Reef flip flops the past few times I'd gone out....and I wore my Skechers flip flops the other day. They have a lot thicker of a sole on them, and I kept giving the car WAY to much gas! hehe.
