Indoor footwear for mommy

SurpriseAt39 · December 2014

With holidays coming, indoor foot coverings are an issue on some people's minds.

So, in your normal everyday life AT HOME, what do you wear on your feet?
(You can comment on what you might be wearing if you're visiting someone else's home)

Barefoot most of the time year-round, although if company is coming I'll wear socks. I never wear shoes in the house.

I prefer to be barefooted, and I often am during the summer, but because of my arthritis my legs ache if my feet get cold so I wear socks in the fall/winter and add on slippers if I'm in the kitchen where the floor is especially cold.
I was raised that you never wear 'shoes' in the house. They come off at the door. Slippers are what you'd put on if you needed footwear in the house.

Oh, and I hate visitors walking around my house barefooted. I prefer them to keep their shoes on if they aren't wearing socks or stockings.

Cozy socks all the time in the winter. Barefoot in summer. No shoes in the house ever.
I take my shoes off at other people's houses and bring socks if I would otherwise be barefoot. I only wear shoes in other homes if the owners do and if I'll get stuff/dirt on my feet if I'm barefoot.

I absolutely love these slippers from target. They are so soft and warm.

I switch off between barefoot, socks and slippers. The first two depends on what I wear outside...if I am wearing flip flops outside, then I am barefoot in the house....shoes outside, then socks inside. I try to wear my slippers around the house because my feet were really really sore for like the first 7 months PP, and I found wearing slippers (the kind with a sole) made my feet hurt less. Plus I am downstairs a lot for laundry and such and the floor creeps me out. I try to never ever be barefoot on the basement floor.

I grew up on a farm in a cold (uninsulated) farm house in Ontario, Canada. Floors are cold.

We didn't wear shoes in our house, but most of our farmer friends always wore shoes in their houses.

Every farm house I've been in, you enter the house into the kitchen. We never went beyond their kitchen, and they never went beyond ours.
Maybe because of that (and floors were linoleum, so easy to clean) we were directed to leave our shoes on.

At home, mom
Made sure we got a new pair of slipper for Christmas every year because she wouldn't let us wear shoes in our house.

Also, I feel very uncomfortable wearing shoes inside.

I'm totally random in the house....shoes, barefoot, or slippers/flip flops. Except I hate being in just socks in the house -- I slip.

Maybe it's where I grew up (southwest), but no one when I was growing up (that I recall) had a no shoes in the house policy. Now where I live, a few people do and honestly, I know it's your house, your rules, but I hate going over to someone's house and taking off my shoes. Especially if I'm not expecting it. And I sort of get weirded out when people take their shoes off at my house. Again, it's probably just because it was never a thing when I was growing up and I'm too old to change my shoes-in-the-house ways.

This. Smart wool or nothing.

I voted slippers when my feet get cold but really it's socks.

We don't have a rule against shoes in the house, we just usually don't. They're not comfy!

barefoot (inside and out!) unless it's cold. then fuzzy socks or bootie-type slippers.
