Shoes or no shoes?

**Taz_Zoee** · 05-20-2008, 05:31 PM

I usually take my shoes off immediately when I get home. My BF, on the other hand, puts shoes on immediately when he gets up. The other morning he was in the kitchen making coffee in his robe with flip-flops on. I was laughing!!!

So, what do you prefer?

NO shoes!

**Jessika** · 05-20-2008, 05:54 PM

I prefer no shoes, but since my room is in the basement and my in-laws run their business out of their basement, theres usually scraps of metal and little pieces of wire all over floor and it really is unsafe to walk around without shoes on. Plus I haaaaate getting my socks dirty!

I would love to just walk around barefoot though as shoes really are uncomfortable to wear inside the house

Maybe I'll look for my slippers

I sued to go barefoot at home. Then one day I was walking a bumped into a chair, stubbed my toe. At least, I thought I did. IT HURT! Then it swelled up like a sausage and turned blue and purple! Found out I had broken it via x ray. Must be 10 years ago, now.

Ever since, I wear flip flops in the house. Which I do NOT consider shoes, snicker. I only put on shoes just before going out, and they are the first thing off, even before I unpack groceries. My feet do NOT like being closed in!

Oh, and I seldom wear shoes, either. I use sneakers about 98% of the time.

I voted 'other'. I don't put my shoes on unless I have to, but once I have them on I don't take them back off unless I have to. It's a weird quirk of mine, so I guess that I hate to put on and take off shoes not really have a preference whether I'm wearing them or not. lol

I voted Other. I put slippers on as soon as I get home. Fortunately in my job I can wear sneakers but I still prefer my slippers once I am home.

Wearing shoes is a no-no in our house, as my mum can't stand even the smallest speck of dirt on the carpet!

I voted sometimes I wear shoes at home. Quite frankly, weather has almost everything to do with it. If it is cold and dry I wear shoes until I go to bed because it is too cold not to. If it is cold and wet/snowy outside the shoes are left by the front door and slippers are put on. If it is warm outside, the shoes come off as soon as I sit on the couch to get comfortable, so my feet can breathe, but the shoes usually go back on when I want to walk around the house. The only time they don't is in the middle of summer when it is just too hot to wear shoes. I really feel quite vulnerable moving around without something protecting my feet. I always have been that way. You will almost never find me wearing sandals and absolutely never will I wear flip flops. Flip flops are not shoes.

I hate tennis shoes but seeings that I have broken my foot 3 times in 2 years I have to wear them and can't wear flip flops - I gave my flip flops to my mom and only have sturdy looking sandals.
I don't go barefoot out of the house b/c of my foot fracture AND b/c I've been stung too many times on the bottom of my foot.
But in the house I'm barefoot especially this time of the year. In the winter I wear slippers or slipper socks.

I wear flip flops all the time in the house. Too many cat toys to be stepping on, lol!

For work, as soon as it's warm enough, I wear my sandals. Thank goodness they haven't "outlawed" them in our school district yet. If it's cold and snowy, then I wear my shoes, but as long as it's nice out, it's always sandals. They have a thing about no flip flops on the kids, for safety reasons, but they never enforce it.

I can not stand to wear shoes, I hate wearing them when I have to leave....lol So when I am home, except for Reilly's walks I never wear them at all.....

**Hellow** · 05-26-2008, 09:51 AM

No shoes because my parents hate shoes inside the house

**Genny** · 05-27-2008, 10:01 PM

I wear flip flops all the time even in the house. I can't stand for my feet to get dirty

I don't know what I'd do w/out flops!!!!

**cassiesmom** · 05-28-2008, 04:59 PM

No shoes inside (and sometimes no socks either)... Cassie knows that when I'm putting shoes on, I'm leaving her!

**Spiritwind** · 06-06-2008, 10:46 PM

NO Shoes! I hate shoes! The only time I wear them is IF I have to for work.... soon as I am home, they come off.... spring, summer, winter, fall.. I hate shoes! and I cannot wear just plain socks without shoes.... I'd go barefoot all day, every day if i could.... Currently though I haven't had shoes on for a couple months... I wear my favorite, beat up pair of flip flops everywhere anymore... though i've had to super glue the straps back together on them a couple times... might want to get new ones soon LOL but I love them!...
