    no shoes for me! i wake up and put on some shorts or just exercise in a sports bra and undies (i don't have a gym membership so it's all good in my own apartment). i barely wear shoes/socks unless i'm out of my home. socks bother me even when it's cold. :ohwell:

    No shoes. My house is quite old, so the floors and walls are thin. Footsteps feel like earthquakes; but without shoes, it's not so bad.

    I've been doing the 30 Day Shred and tried wearing shoes. It was a no go. For me, I believe barefoot is best. It feels better and shoes just made my feet slip. I only wear shoes when I am on the treadmill. However, I will wear shoes when I start lifting heavy weights. :)

    Shoes unless I'm doing yoga. I need the traction and support. I've had some scary slips when I'm moving really fast on my carpet. Plus I started having issues with my achilles tendon when i was doing any type of plyometric moves without sneakers. I wasn't landing solid with jump lunges and that almost took me out of circulation for awhile.

    I don't like wearing shoes in general so I definitely don't wear them while working out. I workout at home so it doesn't really matter if
    I'm barefoot.

    I don't wear my shoes when I'm working out at home. I feel more comfortable without them on and I find that it's easier to move.

    No shoes. Better balance, plus less risk of injury from misstep.

    Even at the gym I wear VFFs.

    Stupid shoe culture.

    Naked feet unite!



    VFFs?

    Nope. I hate shoes. I've actually started a barefoot revolution in my Zumba class. :-)
    ETA: To clarify, I LOVE shoes. I just hate actually wearing them. :-)
