barefoot, except if it's cold in the house & then socks

Funny to wear shoes I think, barefoot/socks is just easier.

Me too. No shoes indoors, no socks either. In the summer I like the feel of cool clean bare floors. I wish we didn't have any carpet except for the bedrooms. In winter we have heated floors so I'm barefoot then too. If I step on something that hurts, it's usually the farmer's fault (DH's shoes can hold small rocks, I swear). Most of the time he likes his shoes off, but during the spring and fall seasons (which I call the "hurry, rush and fixit seasons) he seldom has time for taking off work shoes and put them back on. Nevertheless, I howl loud and clear when I step on something he's tracked in.

Summer, Winter anytime--no shoes in the house. I guess my feet are claustrophobic!!

I wear shoes most of the time. Just comfortable for me. If I don't have my shoes on I'm feeling sick or am very tired. I don't know when things changed cause as a kid I went barefoot lots. Funny thing is though, I can pick almost anything off the floor with my toes if I'm barefoot. I hate to bend over! Ha ha :)

Really?! My grandkids think I'm unusual because I mop the bathroom floor with a thick rag and a bare foot. I mop the diningroom like that too. DH has always laughed at me when I pick up things with my toes. :mrgreen:

My daddy said we all had trained toes.

Trained toes... hahaha I like that.

I sew barefoot and never wear shoes in the house. I also have to wear shoes when at a quilting class. I don't like my feet in prison (shoes)
