[TreasonousBastard]

1. Depends...

on how I feel at the moment.

[KMOD]

2. well, what's are you wearing on your feet right now?

[TreasonousBastard]

9. Nothing. Nekked feet.

[KMOD]

13. Awesome!!!!

[kwassa]

7. you wear Depends on your feet?

[TreasonousBastard]

10. Well, that depends.

[kwassa]

22. They will probably keep your feet dry. Moisture-wicking, and all.

A big improvement over the traditional bread bags.

[a la izquierda]

3. Slippers in winter, nothing the rest of the year.

In fact, I go barefoot most of the time, or wear flip flops. I hate shoes.

[KMOD]

6. I hate shoes, too.

I'll suffer through a wedding ceremony with shoes on, but once the reception comes, off they go. lol

Same with when I worked in an office. Once I got there and sat down at my desk, the first thing I would do is kick off my shoes.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Same here. My floors are too cold in the winter for bare feet,

but as soon as it warms up I'm barefoot. I keep a pair of flip flops by the back door to wear outside (I don't want to step on bees, rocks or pointy things in the garden or I'd be barefoot outside, too).

[KMOD]

30. ...

[MH1]

99. same here. nt.

[fizzgig]

4. these fuckin beauties

[KMOD]

5. cool slippers, fizz!

I have so many cute, barely worn slippers. I may wear them for a few minutes, then off they go.

I'm just much more comfortable barefoot.

[fizzgig]

11. it's too chilly to be barefoot

i'll go barefoot during the really warm months, but these are usually on me feet from mid-september to late may

[KMOD]

16. I go to the mailbox barefoot, year round.

snow, ice, rain, hot asphalt, whatever, doesn't faze me in the least.

[fizzgig]

18. i used to go barefoot all the time

not sure why that changed, it just did.

[Kali]

8. barefoot spring, summer, fall

socks/sandals winter

oh, sandals in public, if I have too in spring, summer, winter

[KMOD]

14. sandals and flipflops are great for when you have to,

cuz you can kick them off easily

[Kali]

15. I keep a pair in the car/truck in case I end up in town

when I am out driving around.

[KMOD]

17. lol, that's brilliant!!!

I'm gonna throw a pair in my trunk right now.

[Kali]

19. I put them under the front seat.

pavement can get hot in the summer

[mackerel]

20. I'm wearing the cutest leopard print isotoner slippers

they're comfy too!

[KMOD]

29. I'll bet.

Here's to cute slippers.

I just prefer them in my closet and not on my feet.

[CottonBear]

102. I've also got leopard print Isotoner ballet slippers!

I LOVE them! My feet are long and narrow. The ballet style slippers look cute and stylish and fit snugly. My mom and sister have now them too!

I hate being barefoot, even indoors. So, I have slippers, flip flops, sandals, slip-on style NB sneakers and Birkenstocks strategically located around the house. This way, my feet never touch the floor!

[mackerel]

103. I have the exact ones! I love them so much I bought a pair for

my daughter this past Christmas. As I've gotten older I don't like being barefoot either.

[pinboy3niner]

21. Dead parrots

In honor of the Super Bowl.

[kwassa]

23. The Norwegian blue? He's only resting.

[KMOD]

28. Thank goodness,

That one scared me.

I almost bought it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. 'E's just pinin' for the fjords.

[hifiguy]

66. This parrot wouldn't "boom" if you put

four thousand volts through it.

And I am a sox-wearer around the house.

[olddots]

24. snow shoes in winter

Duct tape in the warmer months

[KMOD]

27. Duct tape? On your feet?

No, thank you!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Slippers, my dear KMOD!

To be precise, slipper socks!

Knit uppers with leather soles, and boy are these babies warm and cozy!

I just love them.

I have trouble walking around barefoot, no idea why. I'm just not comfortable that way. So, slippers are my foot covering of choice at home.

[KMOD]

26. You are so sweet, Peggy!

Slipper socks are fun.

I just wind up tugging them off after a few minutes.

[steve2470]

44. hey Peggy, how are you these days ?

Feeling good ?

[Rhiannon12866]

32. LOL! And now we know that Joni Ernst is here on DU!

[KMOD]

47. Yup, she outed herself in this poll

[sarge43]

33. Cold: Slipper booties. Warm: Bare foot.

Bare foot whenever I can.

[KMOD]

48. excellent

[yuiyoshida]

34. KUNG FU shoes....

Seriously, they are hella comfortable!

[pipi_k]

41. Wish I could wear those...

but they probably don't come in my size (women's 10.5 to 11 4E)


These are the only things that really fit:

[yuiyoshida]

46. They acually come in all sizes, and

I got mine down in Chinatown. So inexpensive, I bought two pair, and wore the first pair out!!!

[KMOD]

49. I'll have to check them out.

I do have a pair of Minnetonka's that are comfortable, but still not the same as barefoot.

[yuiyoshida]

68. can be worn with socks or with out socks.

They are made of cotton, with some kind of rubberish underside. You can't wear them outside, they would never hold up. But in side, ...every time I look at my feet, I remember Brue Lee!

[magical thyme]

35. winter or summer? In bed or out and about?

right now, in bed with socks. If I get overly warm, the socks come off and Jake gets to snack on my toe jam under the blankies.

Out of bed, fuzzy socks and thick, fuzzy slippers.

It's winter. It's Maine. It's effing cold.

Summer, barefoot or flipflops or socks. It's Maine. It could be hot. It could be cold. Either way, soon it will be winter.

[KMOD]

50. you make it sound so complex

I keep it simple. Barefoot, 99.99% of the time.

[magical thyme]

74. simple, actually. strategic layering.

in Maine, no matter the time of year, you dress in layers to survive. If you get to warm, you strip off layers until you are comfortable again. If you get cold, you just keep adding layers until you look sort of like this:

[KMOD]

78. like bank robbers?

I actually used to visit Maine. I think the last time I was there was 82ish. My Aunt had a summer place on Popham Beach.

I'm pretty sure I went barefoot, but it was summer.

[In_The_Wind]

36. Funny you should ask that question now.

My pink fluff flip flop had a blowout two days ago. Nothing I have feels right.

[steve2470]

43. "My pink fluff flip flop had a blowout two days ago" bwahahahaha

Thank you for making me laugh!

[In_The_Wind]

61. I really did love those bedroom slippers.

They were my Christmas present to me one Christmas when I was stuck in Texas.

[steve2470]

88. aw, I'm sorry sincerely, I thought you were trying to be funny

[In_The_Wind]

100. Very recently it had become apparent the end was near.

There was way too much room in the shoe. sigh. Now the only question is: What color should the next pair be?

otoh ... Any bedroom slipper that isn't perfectly comfortable will be banished this spring. (yes, I'm being funny - unpleasant news is easier when one hasn't lost a sense of humor)

[KMOD]

51. I am so very sorry.

[In_The_Wind]

57. They went everywhere with me.

But ... they never touched blacktop.

[KMOD]

62. They were very lovely.

I can understand your heartbreak.

[In_The_Wind]

63. When it warms up a little I'll hit Marshall's and Burlington Coat Factory.

My first pair were half price. But if I don't find 'em on sale I'll pay the full price to replace 'em.

[malthaussen]

37. I was barfootin' ever since I was two.

But when it is cold (like, the 17F it is now), I condescend to wear socks.

-- Mal

[KMOD]

52. omg, YEEEESSSSS!!!!

thank you for that, Mal.

[tabbycat31]

38. At the very least slippers

And I travel with them.

I got a very bad splinter on my foot from a hardwood floor (drew blood) and I won't risk it again. Plus I don't like being barefoot period.

[KMOD]

54. Ouch!

Can't blame you after that.

[mnhtnbb]

39. Barefoot when the house is above 70 degrees

We keep the thermostat at 68 in winter months.

Slipper socks when in PJ's and regular socks when dressed.

[KMOD]

55. You have this down to a science

I see.

[NJCher]

90. oh, you talk about science

Let me tell you about science. For winter:

One pair white crew socks with arch support.

Over that, luxurious pair of wool socks.

Over that, those ankle-hugger socks in black, to keep bottoms of wool socks clean.

Is this ever warm!



Cher

[pipi_k]

40. Shoes suck frog piss

and I hate them.

I would prefer to just wear socks but have to wear socks with slippers because I have two large, rambunctious dogs that like to step all over my feet.

[KMOD]

56. lol

They suck, indeed.

[steve2470]

42. baby alligators, very comfy!

to be serious, socks.

[KMOD]

58. ...

[bigwillq]

45. Socks, mostly

Sometimes I go barefoot.

I use slippers occasionally.

[KMOD]

59. That's pretty much my husbands

take on all of this as well.

[orleans]

85. i voted slippers

but in summer mostly just socks or barefoot

[kentauros]

53. Bare, normally.

At the moment, as I have to walk over that horrid pebble-surface concrete to get to the laundry room, I'm wearing a pair of espadrilles

[KMOD]

60. Yay!!!!

Us barefooters are winning so far.

[kentauros]

64. These espadrilles are comfy, though.

And you don't wear them with socks. Just a bit of canvas over a natural rubber sole and a jute-corded insole

[Tuesday Afternoon]

65. trust me, KMOD. That ain't what makes you weird.

[KMOD]

67. Phew!!!

I can handle being weird for almost any reason, but I would be absolutely crushed if it was because of my bare feet.

[pinboy3niner]

69. That's just one ADDITIONAL reason

[Tuesday Afternoon]

70. see, ~crushing~ now ... That Is weird.

[pinboy3niner]

71. Unless you're stomping grapes for wine

[KMOD]

73. Go Now,

before you see me cry.

[pinboy3niner]

75. Love the Moody Blues!

[KMOD]

82. me too! :)

[Raine1967]

72. Mostly nothing, unless it is cold.

Right now? It's cold, so socks.

I hate being confined in 2 areas: My feet and my neck.

[KMOD]

79. I agree.

I can't stand turtlenecks either. There really is no good reason, (except one) to every wear one.

[Lil Missy]

76. wool socks AND warm slippers

I can't stand bare feet.

[KMOD]

80. sounds toasty.

[MrMickeysMom]

77. Jesus….

I wear socks AND sandals with a robe!

[KMOD]

81. lol

[sendero]

83. In summer..

... nothing. In winter, cushy wool socks!

[KMOD]

94. pssst

vote barefoot. Pretend it's summer.

[LibbyTreehugger]

84. shoes

Ugg style boots or flip flops, depending on the season. Hate being barefoot!

[KMOD]

96. Ugg style boots are pretty cool

but in the house?

I'd kick those off the second I walked in the door.

[Jamaal510]

86. I wear slippers/socks when I have company or when it's cold, but

otherwise I'm barefoot--not so much because I love it, but in order to save up on laundry.

P.S. @ your avatar!

[KMOD]

87. re: the P.S. Thanks!

[UTUSN]

89. For the past 15 yrs, flip flops, not just at home, and never barefoot (i.e., feet to floor/ground)

The criticisms of flip flops by medical people came true and did some damage to my feet, so from internetting research I ended up with Teva (Lites) for support, but only when leaving the house and mostly cheating back, at home, to the beloved flips most of the time. The flips are SO light, almost non-existent that even the Tevas (much less any kind of real shoes/boots) feel heavy and sweatily oppressive. Am just getting over my impression, barely, that Tevas are dorky Hippie Dippy-looking. For sheer dorkiness, Google for pictures of feet wearing these:

[KMOD]

95. you wear those around the house?

they look pretty cool, but in the house? Really?

[UTUSN]

97. out nt

[OriginalGeek]

91. Bare feet

and it don't stop there.

I'm of the MFM school of thought on ass covering as well as feet covering.

[KMOD]

92. ummmm

hahhaha

[KMOD]

93. Damn, the sockers are catching up.

c'mon barefooters, vote, vote, vote!!!

[OriginalGeek]

98. They are called "sockers" here

but in the UK they are called "foot coverer upperers"







And by the UK I mean the University of Kentucky.

[valerief]

101. Socks AND slip-on sneakers. nt
