Bare feet - fine or yuk?

I do feel the scrutiny that poor woman has suffered in this country has been well out of order!

I’m always in my bare feet or my Ugg slippers in the cold weather like now if someone turns up and have bare feet who cares rather bare feet than them wearing shoes in my house and stood in something unknown to them lol

At this time of year, my feet are well and truly covered up, they get so cold so quickly. Now in summer time it’s a little different - no socks, but usually slippers or sandals on, otherwise I’d be stubbing my toes 😁.

my feet are so painful I cannot wear shoes. I am housebound so it doesn't matter, I never wear anything on my feet. When hospital transport comes to take me to the hospital as they did yesterday, I have a pair of 'slipper moccasins' i wear but even they hurt my feet and I can't wait to remove them. so if you came to my house I would have bare feet.

None of my friends ‘entertain’ nor do I, if I called round in summertime and they had no shoes on I d not be bothered
Now my house is so cold I m wearing two pairs of socks The only room I m heating is only hitting 15 degrees so my feet would freeze without socks and more 😂 I ve got quite pleasant feet no bumps or lumps

What a very very strange thread oh I didn’t realise it was a underhand Megan slur ah well I m out of here then

So do I, and if I have visitors they have to accept me as they find me in my own home. I have only just started putting socks on because of the cold, but normally don't wear them. Only wear tights if going somewhere that it is appropriate to wear them. My feet are in pretty good shape for their 73 years and I do see a podiatrist occasionally just to keep a check on them after all they have had to carry me around forever.

Ever since I fell and broke my back over 2 and a half years ago, my feet and legs have been terribly swollen, making wearing footwear very uncomfortable and sometimes painful. Consequently, I only wear things on my feet when I go out

Do you also consider it vulgar if a woman in her own home doesn't wear a bra under her blouse?
Dear god, I hope not - it's the first thing I take off when I get home. Never wear one in the house.

What a weird thing to mind about! My only feeling would be envy. Not because my feet aren't presentable – they are – but because my feet are nearly always cold.

I sometimes do some scything in hot weather with bare feet. Before anyone shrieks, the scythe blade goes nowhere near your feet.

If someone wants bare feet then they can. If I don't like the look of them it is up to me to look away not for them to cover them up just because I don't like the look.

..not necessarily nice..

I don't think bare feet are vulgar, I just don't like feet! It can be comfortable and even enjoyable to walk around with bare feet - think walking on warm grass - but not ncessaritly nice for other people.

I won't wear open-toed sandals to go out, although I will wear flipflops or bare feet at home in the summer. When I was younger, and thin (!), my feet were very boney and unattractive. For my age now, they're not too bad - more flesh on them - but I won't inflict them on other people if I can help it.

I'm glad to find I'm not the only person who dislikes feet!

To me it depends on what you mean by "entertaining". To me that sounds like a formal occasion where I would expect everyone to be fully dressed including stockings and shoes,

However, if you just drop in, you cannot expect a person who habitually walks around her own home, as I do, in bare feet to rush to put on a pair of slippers, or shoes.

It surprises me that some of you consider feet vuglar.

Do you also consider it vulgar if a woman in her own home doesn't wear a bra under her blouse?

But almost all elderly people's feet are not nice to look at

Speak for yerself missus!

As a nurse I've always looked after my feet - pumice stone, moisturiser, regular pedicures, etc. My sons are on pain of my haunting them if I'm ever incapacitated and my feet are neglected.

As a rule, I'm not fond of others' feet unless they're kept in good order - a friend is a podiatrist, a job I just could not do.

Years and years ago I suffered from what might have been Plantar Fasciitis and the woman in the Scholl shop in Bournemouth advised me against walking around the house barefoot. She said I needed a slightly raised heel and a “footbed” sole . I do find that more comfortable and welcome the cushion soles of todays trainers.
My feet don’t warrant showing but I would never look askance at anybody else in their own home!

I'm barefoot until it's too cold, switch to wool socks. My feet are as pretty as ever, toes painted nicely all year round.

My husband wears toe-in sandals in summer and NB in winter, specific pairs for in-house. He thinks his feet are ugly.

Our children, GC, GGC are round often - they're barefoot or in slippers kept here - I don't prefer dirty outdoor shoes inside.

It would depend on the circumstances. If we were invited to someone's house I would expect them to have at least flip flops or similar slippers on. I've got to admit if someone came to our door in summer uninvited I would probably go to the door with bare feet. I walk around barefoot as much as I can. I would put sandals or shoes on if I had invited someone.
I can remember years ago being asked to a house for Christmas drinks and nibbles and the hostess had a pair of pink fluffy mules on, everyone who came into the room gave her an askance look.

If I'm not in high heels I have bare feet .I've even been known to walk to the shop 100 yards away in bare feet .Summer or winter I go outside in bare feet.My feet are great,no corns bunions or any other issues ,despite wearing 4 inch heels since I was 15.
They are feet for goodness sake! As long as the keep me upright whether other people like them or not doesnt even occur to me .

DH and I don't wear shoes in the house or indeed the garden- haven't for years. DH has nice well kept feet and I have well kept feet but bearing surgical scars - bare feet are more comfortable for both of us nd we are carpeted throughout apart from the kitchen. However, I am mindful that other people may not enjoy the site of our unreconstructed hippy feet so we would slip on a pair of something if people who didn't know us came to the house.

Not something I want to look at some peoples feet are vulgar to look at they need covering up.

How can feet be vulgar Redhead?

My husband goes barefoot most of the year and I invariably wear flip flops round the house. I wouldn't go barefoot to anyone else's house though.

Feet, vulgar? As someone else commented, surely there could be far more 'vulgar' things to worry about? Having said that, I do like my slippers, so no bare feet in this house - but that's purely out of comfort.

Can’t say I notice when we are at the beach but not where I usually live. Mostly at the beach we have BBQs so it is quite appropriate.

No cover them things up!

I walk around the house barefooted in the summer. Fortunately my feet have changed very little over the years, probably my best feeture ( sorry for the pun!)
I put it down to being able to wear good shoes as a child.

I don’t mind other peoples feet and mine are still fine to look at . I’m barefoot a lot of the time or in flip flops. Thermal socks at the moment though.
