    Weight lifting shoes for all of the compound lifts except for Deadlifts for which I like to do in my knee socks. Everything else is bare feet or socks (depending on the time of year)

    Usually in shoes, New Balance 990, the new pair, replaced NB 992, the old pair. One time I used my treadmill wearing Oxfords and rubbed blisters on my feet. I took off the Oxfords and did another mile barefoot. That was much more comfortable than the Oxfords.

    Depends on my mood! If I know I'll be jumping a lot, I'll wear my sneakers, but mostly I workout in my socks. Also, the other factor is how much will I be in a plank position on my toes (lets say, planks or mountain climbers)? If I'll be doing a lot of that, I'll most likely take my socks off because they end up either making me slip, or slipping off my feet anyways!!!

    Usually my "indoor" trainers. I do a lot of Plyometric and functional training, which when doing barefoot on my horrible carpet tiles, is not comfortable and can be painful if I land wrong when jumping about.

    ^^^ this! I usually do socks just because I'm already wearing socks when I get home from work. But if I know I'm going to be planking or trying to do pushups I'll take them off.

    The only time I wear shoes when I workout at home is if I decide to hop on the elliptical or if I'm doing plyo stuff

    Back when I did P90X and RushFit after - barefoot, except on days where there was a lot of jumping (such as P90X Plyometrics). I also did this all on those foam-rubber interlocking 2x2 mats.

    Depends on what I have for a floor. If it is hardwood/vinyl, I need traction, so some kind of shoe. If I am in a carpeted room, barefoot/socks. I often do those kind of workouts on my phone, so I am mobile. And sometimes in hotel rooms, so I never knew what I am going to get. And if you are travelling, check out EVEN hotels. Very fitness friendly.
    Lifting, doesn't really matter, normally socks or barefoot, just because that is what I wear at home or in my room.

    I prefer barefoot, but I have a few problems that make me have to wear shoes and socks. My rough calluses get caught on the carpet fibres and I get tripped up. I have Raynaud's disease and have to layer up my feet or I lose sensation/blood flow in my toes. In the "summer" I can get by with just wearing socks.

    Rowing machine and body weight exercises (for now) at home. Sometimes I do them in socks and shoes, sometimes just socks, and sometimes barefoot. I really just depends on my mood and, to a lesser extent, the weather.

    I always wonder this myself. However I can't go bare. I don't have a good balance to go bare footed. So I need shoes to support me. I do try to do yoga and Pilates in shoes but that doesn't always work out.

    Typically barefoot. For PiYo (Pilates & Yoga) I bought those yoga gloves and socks so I don't slip...I despise yoga mats.

    I don't want to use my outside shoes all over my carpet, so I bought a pair that are only for my indoor workouts. I have tried doing workouts barefoot, but feel like my ankles struggle and I am nervous about hurting myself. I also cannot do planks without shoes, so I just stick with what is easy.

    Workout clothes, socks and shoes - just like if I were at the gym. I wish I had a large full body mirror that was in line with my workout area (that would require moving the TV, so it will never happen :) ). Sometimes I go shoe-less for short workouts but even though I usually start with a plan, it might change and if I have to stop and put on shoes, etc . . . lets just say I am easily distracted.
