    Bad feet, have to wear orthotics, so I always wear shoes! Wish I could do otherwise! :?

    Shoes

    I've put on a few pounds having 4 babies (ugh - let's just not discuss weight) and my legs feel better if I wear good sneakers all day on "work" days. "Lazy days" (haha did I mention 4 kids???), I can wear sandals.

    But I've stepped on more than a FEW Legos in my time, bad enough that I've bruised my foot and found it quite difficult to walk for a week. So... shoes became necessary. I don't like stepping on toys. I can walk comfortably, my legs don't tire out so much, and I feel ready to attack the day and whatever it brings.

    I like bare foot unless the cement floor gets to my flat feet, then I wear Berks for the support. I did just buy Crocks since they had them at Ollies for 10.00$ I think the cusshy foam will be good on my feet. I hope.

    I like barefoot,just feels like more control. I have a pair of houseshoes that are very flexible and soft. If the AC gets to cold I use them. But most of the time I am without shoes or socks.

    I wear slippers in the house, but when I'm at my sewing machine, I take them off. Like to curl my toes over the top of the pedal. LOL But I do put them back on if I leave my chair. I'm afraid I'll drop my rotary cutter plus that slight chance of a pin I missed.

    Bare feet.

    Whenever I take a class, I'm always surprised how different it feels to have shoes on while sewing.
