    Sock only for me. I can't feel the pedal and can not estimate the pressure if I have shoes on.

    Glad to know I'm not alone! I've always sewn barefoot.

    That's funny...I like to kick my flip flops off and drive barefoot too! :lol:
    In my classroom, if the principal walks in, I start thinking about where my shoes might be. I don't even realize I have them off until someone walks in. My feet seem to have a mind of their own! haha

    Sew in flat sandles or bare feet. Learned to drive in a little van in bare feet and passed my test first time at the age of 50 lol

    You are not alone. I always have shoes or slippers, usually slippers, on in the house.

    When I sew on my Featherweight, I have got to be barefoot because the pedal only has room for your toe. I've tried wearing shoes but I don't get much accomplished because next to the toe pedal is another something??? that stops you from pushing the toe down if you have your foot on both of them.

    I am adding to the question, do you only sew with one foot or can/do you use both feet?
    Only one (right foot) it's kinda like having someone elses foot it's not to helpful when it comes to sewing
