Nope. Too slip-slidey on our wood floors, especially when playing "chase" around the house with our Westie. DGS LOVES to slide in stocking feet when he's here though! There's a good long stretch of bare floor from the foyer, theough the kitchen, into the breakfast area. Whee!

Always and it drives DS wild. I dont wear shoes in the house because it is too easy o trip over things. I will also run out to the mailbox in my sox.

Can't stand to wear shoes. When I was a young working girl, as soon as I got off the train, the heels came off! My father use to step on my toes, trying to get me to wear shoes. Didn't work. The good news is, I don't have any bunions. I wear socks in the winter because my feet get cold.

I'm always barefoot inside my house. NEVER shoes, but not because of fragile floors or anything, just comfort. And even socks feel "claustrophobic" to me indoors. I know I'd probably be warmer if I kept socks on, but I just can't stand it. I'm barefoot now.....as usual! :-)

Sure do in the winter and big ugly slippers, too. I hate cold feet.

Seldom wear sock around home, slip on shoes for the most part. Do not go barefooted.

Shoes and socks all day, every day, morning till night, all year 'round, and slippers during the night.

I wear slippers, I used to wear those fuzzy socks but slid on the steps one day and that ended that. We have oak floors and stairs too, so it's easy to slip.

I wear my fur(sheep) lined slippers all the time, all year round. With my alpaca socks too! YES my feet are COOOOLD!!!!! Always have been ever since I was a baby, my mom said even as a baby my feet were cold and sweaty.

In cold weather I wear socks, warm weather I go barefoot.
It's just more comfortable, there's no shoes off rule around here.

Shoes all day, no socks!! Can't stand socks. I wear New Balance slip on tennis shoes.

There is something about walking in the house (my house) that makes me immediately want to remove my shoes. It isn't about keeping the floors clean or anything like that. I won't think about my feet or shoes at all the entire day but as soon as I walk in the door, my feet suddenly feel trapped. It's too cold in the winter not to wear socks.

Glenda, I used too, but anymore I wear house shoes... at least, this time of the year.

Moni

In the winter, socks and slippers; when it gets warmer, I wear sandals only. Do not usually go barefoot.

My neighbor, when he immediately walks inside, at least my place and his, removes his shoes by the door and walks about sock footed. I just do the same when I go to his place.

He recently moved, married, and bought a fabulous place and when I went to visit, shoes at the front door, and I did the same.

Here, mine come off when I sit down, and they stay there until I get ready to put them in their proper resting place :o)

Yes with my Ugg house slippers when it is cold.

No. I don't feel completely dressed and ready for action unless I have shoes on.

When I don't wear shoes, I wear socks and my sheepskin slippers - and then I'm in my jammies.

On a practical level, shoes seem to offer protection in case I drop something or bump a foot.

Even outside in the summer, I rarely go outside without shoes and socks on - I'm just a solid shoes type of person.

unfortunately that is why Mom fell and broke her hip, my sisters had been begging her not to do that, they bought her some of the thick socks with the rubber nubs on the bottom so at least she would have some grip. She would not wear those. Now since her hip replacement the therapy has taught her never to wear socks alone to wear her tennies or some other shoe or slipper with a good rubber sole.

I am diabetic so it is really a no no to go with out shoes but I am guilty at times, my doctor asks me every single time I go in too.

I wear slippers - they are like anklet socks with grippy soles. They wear out pretty quickly, but I get them at Big Lots--2 pairs for $6, and they are certainly more comfortable than shoes. I hate wearing shoes....

I wear short ankle socks year round and also slippers in the the house. Never shoes.

I wish. My old wood floors are way too cold from too many "old house" drafts. :)

For you "sock" people - do you not go in and out of the house very often, do you go barefoot outside the house, or what?

My dh and I are in and out of the house a dozen times a day - out to the garage/woodshed/garden shed/mailbox/etc - not to mention working outside in our yard and field. Neither of us has the time or patience to keep taking off shoes/putting them on - and there's no way we can wear slip on shoes for much of what we do outside (safety reasons).

Do you just stay inside most of the time or what?

Of course we go in and out often, just socks or barefooted when we are in our home element.

My shoes are one of the first things to come off when I walk in the door from being out and about for the day.

I go barefooted during warm months, when I'm in and around my comfort zone.

Asked the question due to the fact, that the niece noticed everyone being sock footed, when everyone was at my place, on Saturday. No one was asked, it just happened. Comfort!

I wear socks indoors....always.
If I go outside, I have a pair of Croc's by the back door and slip them on.
I have NEVER liked wearing shoes!

I wear UGG houseshoes in the winter and flip flops in the summer.

I wear socks/slippers in the house, never shoes. I have a pair of slip-on shoes sitting by the door for when I step outside.

I don't enjoy closed shoes, any time of the year. Guess that's due to my hot natured person. Plus I think it has to do the area where you live due to climate.

I wear socks in the house in the winter....slippers by the door if I have to get mail or take out garbage. In the summer I am usually barefoot but with slippers on to go outside. I have a pair of slippers that I even garden in. They are soooooo comfortable. I do own proper shoes if I am going out somewhere special.

I have a pair of crocs on the porch I slip into.

If I'm just going right outside or to the mailbox I slip on crocs. Otherwise I only put on shoes if I'm going somewhere.
I don't need to go in and out all day long. Usually I plan to do several things when I'm out.

Slippers in the winter and flip flops in the summer. For some reason going barefoot is not comfortable to me any longer. I can't stand dirty socks. It especially bothers me when people take off their shoes,walk around in socks, then put the shoes back on without changing socks. Just seems gross to me.

Socks all the time, and knitted slippers. When I go outside I put on my runners (or boots in the winter). If I go down to the laundry room I slip on my crocs.

I've never worn shoes in the house, or anyone else's house. Everyone I know, shoes automatically come off when you enter someone's home. I take slippers with me when I visit (if I remember).

I wear socks and bedroom shoes in the winter. In the summer it is plain ol' flip flops, that I have tripped in many a time...My husband hates them! Tells me they are going to be the death of me. Aww..don't think they are that dangerous...and I love them.

In the winter, I wear socks with my slip-on Merrills inside. If I sit down to watch tv, the shoes come off, but I put them back on as soon as I get up. I wear thinnish black socks so they aren't warm enough by themselves. Also, my basement is a dusty mess so if I have to go down there to do laundry, I want shoes on.

My kitchen tile floor is too cold and hard for just socks, another reason I keep my shoes on.

I hate being without shoes and never wear just socks. I have croc's that I wear most of the time unless I am going out and then tennis shoes. Never ever barefooted.

I hate wearing shoes and I always have,
so I wear slippers in the house in the
winter because the floors are cold in the
summer I'm either barefooted or back in
the slippers. I have been known to walk
to the mailbox in the snow barefooted, but
usually put on shoes instead of walking
barefooted in the snow.

I wear socks and tennies in the house in cold weather, just socks in the summer. I don't like to go barefooted any time.

When I'm on the computer I wear, over my socks, calf length cozy lined house slippers because my feet get cold under the desk. I would like to wear those Merino wool socks I bought, but they make my legs swell.

I don't like flip flops. Not comfortable and plus, don't want my feet to get dirty.

I would never expect my visitors to take off their shoes, and nobody that I know does, either.

It really seems disgusting to walk around without shoes. What if you spill something in the kitchen and don't get it wiped up before you step in it barefooted? Outside - there are all kinds of disgusting things that you can step in - poop from different types of animals. Yes, you can track some of that stuff in, but it isn't on your bare skin. And - socks get stinky - they absorb all kinds of foot odor. Walking around inside with stinky socks - so gross.

I have several members of my extended family that expect people to take off their shoes in their homes. It's fine if *they* want to take off their shoes, but it seems rather inhospitable to require *visitors* to take off their shoes.

I used to go without shoes inside in the warmer months but I have to wear orthotics now so I wear shoes all the time except when showering and sleeping.

I wear comfortable shoes so they don't bother me. If I don't wear them my foot hurts. If I do wear them it doesn't so it's kind of a no brainer.

I find it most pleasnt walking barefoot or with socks on.

Never been to a home that "requires" you to take your shoes off.

Sockes most of the time. The kids got me socks and new slippers for Christmas this year.

I hate to wear shoes in the house. I go barefoot in the summer and wear socks and slippers or just socks in the winter. I think shoes track in too much dirt and germs.

Socks and slippers till I go out, then socks and shoes, the heavy work-style wool socks in winter, then same socks and shoes, though can't wear the heavies with some shoes, so will change to lighter.

When I come home, will wear shoes in house, unless mucky, then change into slippers.

Used to wear crocs some, not so much recently. Don't have sandals.

Rarely wear shoes without socks, seldom go around barefooted ... in the barn, shed, field or garden? Not likely: too much foot-unfriendly stuff lying around, mainly nails and other metallica (have you every walked barefoot in wheat stubble?); usually no dog, only one cat, so poop not a big issue ... but, then, I rarely go barefoot.

No problem taking off shoes in (several) friends houses where they don't wear shoes, rarely have slippers with me, some offer them, but seldom.

ole joyful

Socks.. love them.... I am a total sockoholic... so wear them summer and winter.. fuzzy warm in winter, and light cool ones in summer... but gots to have dem socks on my foots.. with shoes outside, without shoes inside..

I ALWAYS walk around in my socks...like you, I just find it more comfortable!

Another old thread! I didn't even notice until I saw a post by Wildchild and since she hasn't posted in a long time I checked the date.

Yes, I wear socks in the house most of the time. Sometimes shoes or slippers. I've broken toes twice by kicking things inside, and socks or shoes offer a little protection. I rarely go barefoot because I'm afraid of breaking a toe again. Quite painful and takes long to heal, cannot wear a shoe. I have a lot of socks, some I've knitted myself.

Yours truly,

Socks

oops just noticed how old this is!

I guess I am the odd ball I used to be a barefoot girl inside and out but in my old age I do wear birkenstocks that I just can slip on and off easily. I too noticed that this was an old thread.

Didn't realize this was an old thread until I saw patti43 as a poster. I still miss her.

I wear socks indoors in the winter....during summer barefoot or sandals. My feet get cold easily.
