I wear clogs & berkinstocks most of the time, fuzzy lined crocks & after ski snow boots in the winter to keep warm....anything that is comfortable & flat especially after having knee reconstruction, a fractured hip & a fractured back.....don't even look at anything that will make my feet sore & give me anything to cause more discomfort. I do like not having any shoes on in the summer when it's so hot, but I don't to the barefoot thing very well stepping on gravel or things that hurt....sensitive feet. I don't believe in wearing shoes that aren't comfortable. However, many times after tromping around the horses, I take my shoes off when coming into the house so I don't track the gook all over my floors...my dogs to enough of the tracking dirt into the house...don't need me adding to it.
