Do you wear slippers or shoes ins ide or bare feet? We have always worn s li ppers.They are so much warmer than sh oes or bare feet.

Shoes unfortunately. I wish I could walk in bare feet or slippers! I have mortons neuromas under both feet so need cushioned footwear all the time - also a left foot problem. I actually had quite a bad injury to that foot wearing slippers once as well!

Always barefoot until too cold then woolly socks

Was there not another thread about this a few days ago?

No shoes indoors ever, but usually bare feet in the warm, slippers in the cold!

When I was about 12 years old I was barefoot in my bedroom and I stepped on a needle hidden under my bed. I had the needle removed from the ball of my foot between my 4th and 5th toes. I never walk barefoot I always have decent slippers on.

I wear socks and flipflops.

Bare feet in Summer, slippers in Winter and half'n'half in Spring and Autumn (depending on the weather).

Always slippers, but different ones according to the time of year.

Crocs ...Inside...outside.... upstairs... downstairs. Never off my feet. So comfy but my friends and family despair of my 'fashion style'

Slippers all year round.

Summer ones, then winter ones.

Can’t abide bare feet.

Slippers every time. I can’t bear having bare feet although it is ok with socks or stockings.

I like those slipper sock things in the cooler weather and they are cheap enough that you can chuck them and get a different colour if you get sick of them. You can get them for about $5 or $6 here( couple of pounds or so )

Barefoot or flipflops even in winter. My feet are happier when not enclosed. Hiking sandals rather than boots when walking or hiking.

I can't stand anything on my feet. When I'm indoors I always go barefoot

Slippers in Winter, bare feet in Summer though I might revise that because I trod on a needle!

Bare feet, I hate shoes, I wear them when I go out and about but never at home. Dont wear slippers either, in winter I wear socks

Slippers. Never bare feet. We have two cats and I don’t really want to tread in something they’ve brought in (they left a rat in the kitchen last week) or brought up!

My Birkenstock toe post sandals all year round. My feet are usually warm and I've not had a return of plantar fascitiis since wearing them.

SurDonim ... HA HA HA! I hate spids!

Late wrestler Yokozuna was 6'4 and 42 stone but he was arachnophobic too! This huge mountain of a man would leave the room if he saw one!

I wear slipper socks! So comfortable!!!

TheWeirdo Mon 30-Sept-24 12:06:23

Bare feet for me as I can't abide socks or slippers and I'm not a footwear fan at all so I'm barefoot in public, even in the rain when not at work!

In snow I'll wear shoes as I can't see for dangers under the snow but am bare whenever possible.

When out I always carry a basic pair of slip-on shoes in case I'm in store and staff ask me to wear them but I live in a small area where all the local shop keepers know me and most let me go in barefooted!

I wear house shoes which are Skechers slip ons with memory foam insoles. I have laminate and tile flooring downstairs and my feet would be like blocks of ice if I didn't wear shoes. I used to be a carer and tbh I found the elderly were at risk of trips wearing slippers. Shoes give more support

Shantygirly Mon 30-Sept-24 11:58:20

Flip flops in summer then flat mule type, soon it will be my fluffy bootees, laminate flooring everywhere, too cold for bare feet!

Sheepskin slippers, usually with socks as well. I get very cold feet.
