I always wear sandles in the house. When I'm sewing I kick off the right sandle to run my foot pedal.

I don't wear shoes in the house in the summer. I am very careful about sharp things as I have carpet. If I drop a pin or needle, out comes my magnet and I find it immediately. I am also careful about putting my scissors and other tools back where they belong when I use them. I hate having to look for things. Fabric? That's a different story, LOL. There are scraps and pieces all over until a project is finished.

I do both. I am a shoe/sandal wearer all of the time- no bare feet for me. I think I started that in one house we bought that had hardwoods throughout & electric baseboard heating- cold floors. Plus I am flat footed & having an arch is much more comfortable for me. My sewing area has carpet & it is easy for a pin to hide in so I never go in there without protection! I hope your foot heals quickly.

I would wear the shoes. I would rather sew than tidy up.

I vote for the shoes too (although I'm awfully fond of going barefoot). My co-worker stepped on a needle that had been dropped on the floor. It broke off in his heel and surgery was required to remove it. Very painful!

I wear slippers with soles around the house. Mainly cause I have cats and I don't want to tramp on a soggy hairball in my bare feet in the middle of the night but the soles also protect against sharp objects that I've left laying around.

haha, yup our DH are excellent at finding all the pins we drop :mrgreen:

I hate shoes, so I would clean up.
