I used to go barefoot all the time, but my feet were really suffering, so I started wearing socks. I destroyed a lot of socks this way, and so changed over to wearing a pair of men's slippers (the kind with a little bit of a sole to them). Wondering if there's anything better out there? What do your feet wear around the house?

My man and I wear Ugg boots around the house. They feel like slippers, but you can wear them to muck about through the fields if you want to. I usually do. They function like a work boot, never wear out, and have cozy sheepskin inside. |

I wear flip-flops most of the time but I have lined crocs (actually sketchers that look like crocs) when it is cold. I wear the crocs for everything, even at the barn unless it is wet, rainy or muddy. I even have glittery flip-flops to wear when I need something nicer. I do wear Gypsy's (boots) when I am doing rodeo work or need to really dress up.

Hubby bought me the cutest fuzzy pink horse slippers for Christmas. I had about worn them out so he got me another pair for Mother's Day. My daughter's Pixie Bob cat (looks like a bob cat) attacks them and steals them out from under the edge of the bed at night. Leaving the house, I almost always wear my favorite lace-up Tony Llama cowboy boots.

This was discussed back in 2007 somewhere on MaryJane's chats. Said they were just as good as Crocs.

I've fallen in love w/ Crocs, too, but I only wear them where I won't be seen outside the house and I love-love flip flops for inside in the summer and fuzzy slippers for winter...

Fake Crocs from Wal-Mart or Meijer. My podiatrist recommended them due to a neuroma in my left foot. It was to the point where we were talking about surgery. I could barely walk because the pain was so bad. In the last two years of wearing them in the house the pain is almost 100% gone. |

I to am a clogoholic. I have several pair & love them. I also have become strangely attached to a pair of brown leather Born shoes that are going on 11 years. They are still in great shape, except I think the insides may wear out soon. THey have a chunky rubber sole & as ugly as they are, hubby always says, "you know those shoes are kinda cool" Right now I am sitting at my computer, working, in a pair of tan shorts, a black UC tee(given to me by hubby, would never have bought this myself ) & TA DA!!! my Born shoes. Man do i look cute! (not) |

I don't go barefoot in my house because (caution, gross--) I have three cats who seem to throw up and I've stepped in it ONE too many times! I do, however, wear my Dansko clogs all the time, in and out. I had a great pair of slippers that had the indoor/outdoor sole, but my beagle ate them and I refuse to by more than one pair of slippers a year!

We are some next-to-nature girls! I go barefoot all the time, and I can indoors in winter, too, living in Bama. Summertime, you'll find me either barefoot or in flip-flops when I can get away with it. I've always loved going barefoot outdoors! I walked on my tip-toes until I was 13 or 14, until I was made fun of for it, so heels have always been more comfortable for me. And that was kinda ingrained in me from an early age 'cause my grandmother came from a day and age when a lady never left the house without her heels, pearls, and red lipstick!  But plantar fasciitis (sp?) stopped me cold with pain, so I don't wear them near as much as I used to. I have such a very high arch and Merrell's have the best arch-support found in a shoe. I have several different pairs I wear in winter. LOVE THEM!

I have a pair of very fake crocs (yes pink with flowers, lol) for the garden. I don't like to wear them often, just in the garden. In the house I still wear my socks with a pair of knitted slippers. Even in the summer I wear socks in the eve. I always have cold feet, so NEED that little warmth. BUT Elvis also sometimes lies on my feet, MMMMMMM :-)

I have these little cloth MaryJane style shoes with velcro straps and a thin sole that I wear around the house. They are really cute and just help keep my feet that little extra protection from the dog stepping on my foot or whatever :D I got the at Wal-Mart or Target for like $5 on sale. When they get dirty I just chuck the in the washer but they don't do anything for arch support.

I wear flip flops or go barefoot at home. In the winter, I always wear Uggs boots, without socks. I've been noticing some foot pain from the lack of arch support. Even Uggs have no real support, and there was something I saw on the news about how popular they are, but a podiatrist warns that they can ruin your feet if worn all the time. All you need to do is get arch supports (like Dr. Scholl for example) and put them in your footware. Any drugstore carries them. I did that, and it really made a difference. My feet feel much better.

In the winter, a pair of lined slip-on type slippers from LL Bean. They had a tough sole that I can wear to run out on the porch, etc.
In the summer, a pair of slip on merrills that feel like comfy sneakers. If it is really hot, barefoot or flip-flops.

I have hard floors upstairs and concrete floor downstairs and I have to wear something with a sole, slippers just make my feet ache. I finally got a pair of Crocs and have been wearing them indoor only. They have the non-skid sole and if I wear them out, I get bits of grass and dirt in them. So they are only house shoes. But they make my feet hot! I found that if I wore my wool socks, they would wick away the moisture and I was more comfortable. Even when I wear tennis shoes all day, my feet are hurting by night.

I wear UGGs slippers. They are a bit pricey, I bought them for 70 something bucks at nordstrom, but so worth it. I have had them for over 2 years and wear them everyday. They are a bit stained with baby spit up but still uber comfortable. |

Due to back pain It was recommended to me to wear Nike shock tennis. Well being they are 80+ dollars, I bought Wal-marts brand and wear them just in the house as my house slippers. They work awesome and if I do not wear them by the end of the day I am shot. I did buy the Nike brand for outdoor wear. and they are better then the off brand. I would rather be bare foot but I do like being able to walk at the end of the evening.

The key is supportive shoes. I'm happiest barefoot & in the kitchen but a foot problem stopped that quick - I couldn't walk barefoot without great pain. I scored by finding a shoe store owned by a podiatrist (Public Shoes, Arlington, VA). He put me in a really good pair of tennis shoes and told me to wear nothing but these for a month - never go barefoot routinely again (eck!). He put me in Etonic StablePro shoes but other good brands have a "stability" system like New Balance. Look for something with "Stable" in the description. When was the last time you had your foot measured at a really good shoe or running shoe store? Part of my problem was that after a couple of pregnancies, my foot had expanded and my shoes were too small. On comfy sandles, look for a good brand with arch support like Earth Shoes or my favorite is Chacos - they are like Teva's but with an arch and I wear them all summer long. Other plus on the Chacos is that they are made in America. HTH |

During the Summer months I run around barefoot or use my Teva Flip Flops that I just love. They are cute and comfortable. You don't have to worry about breaking them in. They never cause blisters. During the winter this last year I bought a pair of slip on style uggs, pink with fuzzy in them. They have a nice sole, and I wear those all over the place, out side, inside. They are warm and easy to get in and out of! I would love to have a pair of moccasians but those will have to wait till later!
