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 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.

I hate shoes, so I would clean up.
