    Bare foot or sock- just doesn't feel right with a shoe on LOL Even when I go to my Wednesday night group I wear shoes that slip on and off

    I'm Bi. I like it both ways (shoes on or off-doesn't matter to me).

Plus, the bottom is a bit sticky, so I can control the pedal better. (I drive 'backwards' anyway, with the pedal turned around, high side closer to me.)
    I drive backwards too!

    I also sew barefoot or with socks if chilly. Shoes or slippers are off when I go into sewing room

    We normally get out of our shoes once inside the house. DH wears slippers while DD's & I wear house socks. I can't sew comfortably with shoes on no matter where I'm at, just hope my feet don't stink when the shoe comes off. Lol

    I wear slippers when at home (my feet get cold) but when I sew the right slipper is off.

    I'm with you there. I have to "feel" it too.

    I have always sewn barefoot with or without socks on. Easier to control, I think.
