Usually shoes. I get foot cramps at night if I don't keep my feet relatively flat.

Always with socks. Even at classes or workshops.

Always with socks on. My socks wear out before a pair of shoes does. I have to feel the foot pedal so I can adjust easier. Quirky, I know.

I go barefoot or socks if its really cold. I feel like I have better control of the foot pedal without shoes.

shoes or socks, heard a couple of stories directly from members of my guild of picking up pins in their feet and having them travel through their body.
