Bare or sock feet for me. I hate wearing shoes! I loved the office I was in, because after 3, it seemed all the women were kicking off their shoes, even one of the partners in the firm! Made being pregnant with swollen feet easier to tolerate.

I always kick my shoes off once I am in the house. So, I sew with either barefeet or in socks.

I can not sew with my shoes on. I need to feel the pedal with my toes. I usually wear mule-style slip ons, so I just slide back into them if I need to walk around.

I hate shoes. The first thing that come off when I come in the door from work is my shoes then my coat. I always sew barefoot. It makes my husband nuts but I walk around the house barefoot in winter. If it is warm my shoes often come off in the car on the way home.

i always wear shoes. take them off to get into shower and then socks are first on. slip them off as i'm getting into the bed. i used to go barefoot always as a kid then we moved into an old house with wool carpet. found out i was allergic to wool, so got in the habit to wear shoes. can't do barefoot anymore.

It depends, sometimes I wear shoes because me feet get tired and need the support. I would rather be bare but old age says NO sometimes. I'm 43 and my feet are 70.

I wear my shoes. I have never liked being barefoot.

Same here to both.......I wonder if there is a law against driving barefoot? LOL!

Barefoot or with socks only, I like to feel the foot pedal.
