No shoes. Better balance, plus less risk of injury from misstep.
Even at the gym I wear VFFs.
Stupid shoe culture.
Naked feet unite!0 -
Always with shoes. They support my ankles and I feel more comfortable working out with shoes on.0

Shoes. For me, they are a must.0

Never do I wear shoes when working out at home. I workout better without them.0

No shoes! Most videos etc say you should wear shoes, but I haven't ever heard any good reason why I should...0

Shoes...I am a diabetic and I know how important it is to look after your feet whether I workout at home or somewhere else. Remember your feet is what carries us through our life and so need looking after.0

As a self proclaimed shoe hater, I have to workout in shoes. I'm flat footed and I need the support.0

No shoes, particularly when lifting weights. I find my feet grip the bare floor better, if that makes sense.0

No shoes. I do sometimes wear them on the stationary bike though.0

shoes are must, they stabilize you when your doing exercise , especially when your doing dead lift and squats0

No shoes for me. Even with 30 DS and an exercise bike at home0

Only workouts I've done shoeless is yoga and TaeBo back in the day. I do find that balance is better without the shoes. But most of my current workouts, other than yoga, have enough jumping and higher impact moves in them that I prefer to wear shoes.0

I have been working out on and off for years at home and I have never worn shoes. At first it was because my feet felt too heavy with gym shoes. Now, it's just the way I have to do it.0

I don't like shoes and don't usually wear them if I don't have to. If I'm not at work I'm usually either barefoot or wearing flip flops. When I was doing workout videos I always did them barefoot (P90X and Insanity and a few others). I was wearing regular running shoes for running but I'm transitioning to Vibram Five Fingers now. I do Stronglifts 5x5 at home and I wear my VFFs because I do it on my back porch which is wood and I don't want to get a splinter in the bottom of my foot.0

No shoes. I find that I do better with no shoes on. Plus I'm trying to stay quiet for the sake of my neighbors downstairs. Sometimes I wish no one lived beneath me.
This is the same for me. I'm too worried about bothering the neighbors with my big stompy shoes! Barefoot unless I'm outside.0
