I ALWAYS have to wear shoes when I quilt or my feet go crazy, hurting so much... :-(
It's true though, you actually CAN control the foot pedal with shoes on...when forced! :wink:

Sadly, I'm with you. I used to be barefoot all the way, until developing a neuroma (luckily only in one foot, I can't imagine both). Now I have to have shoes on all the time...though I do cheat when sewing.
I also have really high arches. I have the other problem. I am pretty good in sandals. But even with my orthonics. the pressure that closed toed shoes put on that nerve hobbles me sometimes. I can't even make it through a trip to the grocery store. I even went to some of the best walking running shoes made really expensive. Feel wonderful the first 45 minutes and then I can't walk. The burning on the balls of my feet and toes cramping is sometimes unbearable.
I literally feel your pain.

I don't let anybody wear shoes in my house. ewwwwww
When I took a sewing class everybody made fun of me because I could not sew with shoes on. I had to take my shoe off to use the pedal otherwise I pushed it to the floor and we all know what happens then. lol
