do you wear slippers or go barefoot in the house

haha, my parents made us wear slippers so she didn't have to use alot of heat in the winter. So we had to wear slippers constantly, and we all had to wear our warm fuzzy bathrobes at night and in the morning too. I guess anything to save money! But yeah, my feet are like real sensitive now, and if i am barefoot, and i hit something it hurts like crazy!

Oh, I love my bathrobe too...when I was in my teen, my mom actually bought me those one piece pj's that babies wear...they actually sold them for adults. I loved that too...it kept me warm all over...except when you had to go to the bathroom, and you had to unzip the whole thing and pull it down. Made bathroom visits very chilly...lol

I am invisioning those homer slippers..lol! Yup, I remember my mom constantly telling me, to put my slippers on. I think it was because she was tired on scrubbing my feet at night, or soiling up the bathtub when I took a bath. Dirty feet usually make for rough marks on that darn tub..lol It is tuff walking barefoot after you've gotten used of something on your feet all the time. We lose the tuffness on the bottom like the paws of a cat or dog..lol.

Haa, well I'd recommend mens ones then sweetchariot, mine appear to be a strudy brown suede with a black rubber sole and are spotless after a month, not bad going. As for things wandering in, this year the smelly green bugs turned brown much earlier in the year than usual, but it is only since you sent that link that I realised they were the same thing. The brown ones appear to be trying to sleep for the winter so at least they aren't planning on breeding. If I spot them then out they go but I might leave one to see if it returns to green again next spring.

Apparently, you don't have cellars or basements in your homes...that is one of the things that saves us in my state. In order to come in the house they have to climb stairs..lol. The only other way would be to fly in, and we would have to have windows or doors open for them to get in, which sometimes happen when we leave our screen doors open. But we even have screens on our windows, so we are able to leave our windows open in the summers without letting the bugs in. But it seems that we don't have pesky bugs like you do. Flies, ants, bees, hornets, and grasshoppers are the worst we see, and of course those darling crickets that make sounds during the night. When I lived in California, they don't have basements or cellars, those that lived on the bottom floor were prone to getting cockroaches, because they would walk right in. EECH! Cockroaches are the worst bug around here, because they multiply very quickly, and your home can be invaded by this bug. They would have to even fumigate their homes once a year. They come out a night, and if your home has them, you can hear them squirm all over when you put the lights on. They are gross, and everyone is frightened to even see one.

That's right, I forgot about your darn bugs.... I don't think I would go barefoot either not knowing what I was going to step on. I just bought a new pair of slippers last week...so they are still clean. But it won't be long when they will start looking like I dug them out of someone's trash.

I can see why you wouldn't want to walk around barefoot. That would be kind of disgusting!

...Well, I do wear socks inside my slippers until I am ready for bed. And sometimes when it's really cold, I leave my socks on..lol But I would be barefoot all the time if I could, but my feet are beginning to look like the paws of a cat or dog, ruff, dry, and scaley. They're not sexy looking feet anymore...lol Bras? UGH! I have been wearing the sports bras for awhile now. Much more comfortable then those darn straps that you have to adjust all the time..lol

slippers are more comfy than shoes

They certainly are...they should make shoes that way!

WOW...you people must have the cleanest homes around. That means when you are walking around with one pair of slippers, you have to stop, take them off, and put on another pair before you enter one of those rooms? I'm not sure I would like to do that all day. lol

Yes, I would have to have alot of slippers, since I have 5 rooms. One for the kitchen, one for the living room, and bedrooms that have carpetings, and one for the entranceways into the home..lol...I would have to have 4 pairs probably..lol

...this may sound OA but we change slippers in entering the bathroom and going upstair to go inside our bedroom LOL. you can try this. just imagine how many pairs of slippers we have at home...this justified my fondness of flipflaps LOL.

Slippers in the home are very common for us...they keep us warm in the winters, and our feet clean in the summers.

hehe. my country 365 days of summer every years. That whay i choose not wears slipers in the house.

Wow...I would be very comfortable in your culture...completely barefoot all the time! Now I would love that! lol

I have carpet in 3 rooms, with the exception of my kitchen and den. But my feet still get cold when I am sitting watching TV.

Yup, they have to be comfortable, and I guess most shoes are not comfortable for me. I would love to wear my slippers all the time.

Yes, there is nothing better than walking barefoot on a warm day. The less we wear the better it feels, it seems.

Well I never heard about the veins, but my mom used to tell me that If I got used of going barefoot, my feet would be wide and I would have trouble wearing shoes. I do have a wide foot so there is probably truth to that.

Yup...that's what happened to me. Now that I wear them all the time, I can't go without. I only wish I could wear them outside all year round.

We really wear slipper to keep our feet warm in the winters. You have to wear something because the floors get pretty cold. And sometimes going barefoot does more damage to your feet. Slippers are usually worn inside, not outside around here. Because slippers are usually part of the clothing you wear when you are settling down for the evening, and getting ready for bed.

Well, here in the states it gets very cold on your feet during the winter time; I would rather be warm then worry all the time about germs. We find here in the states that the more you worry about germs the sicker you'll think you are. Nobody has really gotten sick from the dirt on our slippers, and our floors are usually clean enough not to pick up alot of dirt.

I used to do the same thing...but I not only went barefoot in the house, I went barefoot outside all the time, in our yard. So by the end of the day, my feet were always disgusting to look at...lol

I actually wish I could wear my slippers to bed, insteadof crawling into the cold sheets at night, but I think that would be a little too much..lol ...I agree with you about the summer, there is nothing better than walking around barefoot, but eventually, the bottoms of our feet get raw and ruff just like dogs or cats that walk around all day on their paws...lol ...so now I am getting used of the slippers in the summer or flipflops. And bras? I wish they burned them all in the 70's when they tried to then..lol

Ooh, that must be uncomfortable! But doesn't your feet get cold in the winter?

With the cold winters that we get, we sell those all the time, to keep our feet warm. They are super comfortable.

I wish I could go barefoot, but it does a job on your feet, and you have to scrub your feet every night to get them cleaned...lol Bras...yes they are very confining aren't they?

I never wore slippers when I was younger, it was always barefoot in the summer, and socks in the winter. But once I found a style of slipper that I liked, I can't take them off now...lol...I wish I could wear them everywhere.
