i usually wear no shoes - socks, sock-like slippers... barefoot rarely - but never in shoes.

I am just like you... I went to a sewing class and I couldn't figure out why I was so uncomfortable. Well, I had to take my shoes off. lol Everybody thought I was crazy. But, I had to do it or I couldn't sew.

In the winter, I usually wear slippers and socks (my feet are always cold). In summer, flip-flops. I'm always finding pins on the floor and I'd rather it not be in my bare feet...

Socks or barefeet, was at a class and the instructor told us to take off our shoes if that was the way we sewed at home

Ditto here. I think we are in the minority it sounds like. I even feel I need to have shoes on to sit at the computer. I pretty much can only stare barefoot long enough to take a shower. Fortunately I have carpet in my bathroom or I would have to put shoes on with my orthotics just to put my make up on!!! Wish I could go barefoot, too much pain.

I have a young friend who does not allow shoes in her house, I come into the entry way and if I have to stay I only stand on the carpeted living room. It is too painful to walk into the kitchen or anything without my shoes on. I delivered a meal to her after her baby was born and I just handed it to her husband in the entry cause my feet were hurting too badly to take off the shoes to take her dinner into the kitchen. We didn't stay very long because of that.

I have the same deal as Shemjo and Jim's Gem (Gayle)... I have bad feet and must wear sturdy athletic shoes with orthotics or I have much pain.
Since last October, I have been having a bad flare up of my never really gone bilateral plantar fascitis and achilles tendonitis and both of those have caused bone spurs on both feet. I'm using a cane and scooter per dr's orders. I used to live barefooted every summer and even though it was years ago, I can remember the feeling of sewing that way.

I wear shoes, because I don't want to step in any "gifts" the pet rabbit might leave me! She is very well litterbox trained every where but the sewing room!
