I just have to wear shoes (lighthearted)

No. Hard floors throughout so it's cold. Slippers for me.

MayTheGodsBeEverInYourFavour · 01/04/2020 02:04

Slippers or socks, barefoot in the summer. We are shoes off in this house.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 01/04/2020 02:05

I never go barefoot even in the height of summer, no matter how hot it is my feet are always freezing, I would love to pad about the house barefoot and carefree but I always have to wear huge fluffy bed socks often with an extra thin pair as well for added warmth.

No, floors too dirty atm. It's my dream, though, to be a shoes off house with gleaming floors and pristine, plush carpet.

SpoonBlender · 01/04/2020 02:30

We're thick socks or slippers at the moment, it's not warm enough yet for normal socks! No shoes indoors, we do finally have those nice carpets Gettingo - after 20 years of building up to it (ie saving!). Worth looking forward to.

Not bare feet though, got to keep everything clean.

Flip flops

safariboot · 01/04/2020 02:33

No, because cold vinyl downstairs. So socks and slippers. (Bare feet in slippers make the slippers minging)

Bafflingthird · 01/04/2020 02:48

Yes!!! All the time! Love it.

SnowsInWater · 01/04/2020 03:32

I'm barefoot indoors and in the garden most of the time though I try and remember to pull my Uggs on in the evening when I'm sitting outside as Mozzies seem to love my feet and nothing is itchier than a mozzie bite between your toes!

cocoaweebles · 01/04/2020 03:37

All the time, this last two weeks has been daily clean pjs, no socks and no bra. I haven't left the house and haven't spoken to anybody outside the house so no reason to really.

MakeyCakeyHeart · 01/04/2020 03:39

Yes, but I always did anyway, with all shoes off in the hallway.
I was actually thinking earlier whether my feet could end up sort of... Spreading and if my work shoes will ever fit again?! I already have wide feet, without the casing of shoe wearing my 3am anxiety told me that they would just spread to big slabs of gammon.

Casino218 · 01/04/2020 03:41

No because bare wooden rough floors at moment. Was about to get all of the hall stairs and landing decorated when CV hit. Once I had had that decorated I could have then had new flooring fitted downstairs- so was gutted about that.

turnandfacethenamechange · 01/04/2020 03:57

We're currently stuck in Australia....one positive is haven't worn any shoes for weeks!

LifeIsFunJustBeHappy · 01/04/2020 04:00

I've have never worn shoes inside the house. Unless it's thongs.

Thepigeonsarecoming · 01/04/2020 04:01

Fluffy socks, always and forever!

habibihabibi · 01/04/2020 05:00

When we moved to a tiled/carpeted house , kids and I designated pairs of flip flops as indoor shoes. I bought a old low industrial mesh locker to use as a shoe cabinet. It has a section for everyone. DH does not comply and is either barefoot or wears shoes grrrrr.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 01/04/2020 05:02

My Dad has been barefoot for a good few years. He's a climber, a fell-runner and 78 years-old.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 01/04/2020 05:03

He doesn't wear shoes!!

Thepigeonsarecoming · 01/04/2020 05:06

I wouldn’t let someone in my house barefoot, socks acceptable, shoes allowable. Naked toes...nooo

ILikeyourHairyHands · 01/04/2020 05:06

And he worked for NASA.

LemonSock · 01/04/2020 05:06

In our old house, yes, always barefoot indoors. Where we currently are is huge and draughty, so I wear Uggs.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 01/04/2020 05:07

I'm completely cool with wherever your feet want.

beautifulteeth · 01/04/2020 05:12

Hate being barefoot
Wear socks and slippers usually

StarlightLady · 01/04/2020 06:34

Barefoot and no knickers.

MinnieMountain · 01/04/2020 06:46

I always do anyway. It's nicer.

Do people really dictate what others put on their feet? Confused
