Does anyone else hate wearing shoes?

Post Reply New Topic

And I thought my proclivity for shoelessness was just a personal thing. I don't like to wear shoes any more than I have to either. If my feet are shod too long at a time without being aired, they start to perspire, and then ... well, let's just say I have had to throw away perfectly good shoes because people complain about their odor.

I will wear shoes when necessary, but I take them off at my earliest opportunity. I don't mind wearing socks, so I will generally keep those on to keep my feet warm. I have poor circulation, so my feet get cold easily. Lately I have been getting careless around my home, and accidentally ramming my feet into furniture or walls. I don't do this anywhere else. Once I rammed my little toe into a piece of furniture so hard it bled, and I broke the toenail. Now I wear loosely-fitting house shoes around my home. Since I don't like wearing clothes any more than is necessary either, I would probably look silly to most people in my normal mode of dress while at home, wearing house shoes and socks, and nothing else. - LJS

I can only wear slip-on Vans comfortably. All other shoes eventually hurt my feet.

However, I also do not EVER go barefoot. Aside from nice, cottony socks, I hate the sensation of most textures on my feet, so I always have socks on. Also, I can't stand feet...I think they're gross and weird. I like to sleep mostly in the nude, but always keep socks on. If my foot or toenail grazed some weird texture, it would be almost vomit inducing.

I have the shoes with toes and so far I like them but I miss the sandals that I used to wear. I had these earth shoes sandals with elastic in the back that fit me good and didn't rub anywhere. The elastic wore out on one of them so now they are unwearable.

I rarely wear shoes in the house unless the floor is cold.

I kick off my shoes whenever possible. Also at work, and only put them on if I have to leave our floor. On weekends and in the summer I am sometimes even without socks at work.
At home I usually have socks, as I hate the feel of sand and other gritty things that my dog and also people's shoes have brought in (no carpets).

When I do have to wear wear shoes it is almost exclusively sneakers or other flexible, soft walking shoes.

You could try wearing american eagle socks (small socks that stretch to fit). Or socks with toe endings.

I wear merrell vibram shoes (merrell trail glove). Vibram is a barefoot runner's brand (they make toe shoes). The sole of the shoe is very thin and there is a lot of room for your toes compared to other shoes, and they look normal. They are kind of expensive but feel really good and look cool. I researched a lot before I bought them and really like them. I had to by a size smaller than normal.

Socks don't bother me, provided they're not wet or stretched out, and they don't have holes in them. Noticeable seams or clumps of sock fuzz bug me. Basically, as long as the socks do nothing to draw attention to themselves, I'm fine. I'll go barefoot around the house when it's not too cold and if I'm wearing shorts--I hate the feeling of pant-leg cuffs touching bare feet. Stuff sticking to the bottom of bare feet drives me nuts. I typically have to sleep with socks on; otherwise, my feet get too cold, even when I have an extra blanket on the bed (I like to be niiice and toasty when I sleep ).

I'll often take my feet out of my shoes when I'm sitting down, then put my shoes back on when I stand up. I usually stick with low-top skate shoes; Nikes are my favorite because they're comfortable and the insoles hold up well. My aversion to keeping shoes on my feet used to drive my mom nuts when I was oyunger, because I always broke down the backs of my shoes.

No but I hate going bare foot and I can't stand my socks being all bunched up in my shoes or have the flaps tucked inside instead of pull out. But I do hate flip flops. I only wore them once when I was five and never again because they always felt uncomfortable and were too awkward to walk in and hated how they tug in between my two toes. Plus you can't even wear socks with them and that is even worse. I also can't wear sandals without wearing socks. It feels too uncomfortable.

I suppose my avatar name sums it up for me. I love going barefoot. At home I am barefoot all the time and out in the yard as well. Anyplace else I am usually in flip flops unless it is cold out.

I love my shoes

They're the best shoes.

They're more minimalist shoes, this time made by vibram themselves completely, with toes. People notice them sometimes, but always positively, because they want to know about minimalistic shoes (if someone asking you about your shoes will bother you, its probably better to get minamalist shoes that don't have the toes, but otherwise I prefer these ones).

With these you don't need to wear socks, you get to feel the ground beneath your feet, you aren't looked at funny for toe walking. The toes don't bother me even though flip flops and toe socks both do a lot. My feet don't move around in them. Overall they're by far the best shoes I've warn. I wear the sprint in the summer and the flow while kayaking and in the winter.

(I'm quite amused how many other people on here so much prefer the minamlist shoes. Before I got my five fingers I always would take my shoes off immediately upon getting somewhere that I could take them off. Now I'll sometimes do that, but usually don't bother because the shoes are actually comfortable.)

As long as I can remember, I was very fussy with footware and clothes. I like 100% cotton and the shoes have to be just right and if they are I buy two sets lol.

I do walk around in the house with socks on or sock slippers

I hate wearing shoes. When I was younger and I played outside on the street I always ran around in my bare feet. Now, I wear flip flops from late spring-late fall just because I hate wearing socks and shoes.

toe socks are expensive, and I already have a bunch of socks. If you rewear socks then they stink and so I would have to buy a lot of socks so that doesn't happen. I can be lazy about laundry.

And it said that would make it so you have to buy a size larger, so if I were to do that I would have to have bought a different size shoe and always wear socks with them
