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.

I always have something on my feet, but I suffered during covid with slippers all the time. So I wear indoor trainers if I’m in all day, or change into slippers when I come back home.
I really walk round in bare feet, but what I wear indoors are for indoors only.

I have crocs with removable lining

Bare feet in the summer and felt slipper in the winter, usually with thick socks .

Slippers indoors. My feet get cold very quickly which can lead to cramp, so I need to keep them warm. I wear socks as well once the temp dips (like today). I’m also worried I’ll step onto something sharp such as a small piece of grit that’s sneaked in unnoticed on outdoor footwear, so like to keep my feet covered.

Bare feet mainly.
I dont remember when I even started doing so.
I do take a break sometimes when I keep bashing my toes.

Slippers of some sort, always. I might meet a spider I need to stamp on! 👀👀👀

Crocs. I take them to other peoples houses, too. I have outdoor and indoor ones and it’s easy to slip them on and off. I don’t know how I survived before I discovered them.

I hate wearing shoes. In the summer, I cause much amusement going to and from the bins for example in bare feet.
My feet get very cold in winter so have to give in and wear slippers/shoes.
Naturally, I always have proper footwear when going out.

Slippers or socks. My feet are always cold

bare feet mostly, sheepskin slippers if it is very cold

Witzend Sun 29-Sept-24 19:38:36

Indoors, flip flops in summer, my sheepskin house boots when it’s cold. No actual slippers.

I wear flat open toe and back slippers. I always take them with me when I go visiting.
Never shoes indoors and I don't like to walk about barefooted.

House shoes inside, bedroom slippers only for the bedroom/bathroom.

Bare feet in summer and socks or slippers in winter, usually slippers down stairs and socks up stairs as I balance better without slippers.

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

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

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

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 slipper socks! So comfortable!!!

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

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.

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!

😩

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

nanna8 Mon 30-Sept-24 12:22:14

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