I don't think I own a shoe that weighs more than a couple of hundred grams, so yeah, over a kilo for a shoe seems a bit like dragging a small moon around with each footstep!I see your dirty tricks! Im not falling for it, my feed shall remain covered in public at all times

Kier I've been looking for some new running shoes and have to ask if you've attempted working out in those bad boys? I've seen they have different "models" but just curious how comfortable it may be.
I'm well used to having no heel rise, and no supporting structure in shoes, so I find them very comfortable indeed. I suspect there would be a getting-used-to period for most people, but I'd recommend giving them a try (if you feel that shoes are actually necessary at all).

I must be incredibly old fashioned for someone of my age (31)
I wear slippers around the house and socks in bed, hehe
But, that's mostly due to a paranoia about stepping on something sharp, probably after I stepped on some glass when I was a kid.
But I've started taking my socks/slippers off at home and it is a liberating feeling, an almost alien feeling actually.
Not brave enough to go outside walking with bare feet though, I assume you'd have to have tough skin (literally and figureatively speaking) to do that.

I do this also, people think its realy weird? I just like to have warm feet lol.
LOL slippers are banned in my house for anyone under the age of 60 - there are no floor surfaces here that are unsuitable for bare or socked feet, and as I've said before, if environmental conditions do not mandate gloves, there is an equal absence of a practical requirement for foot insulation. It's all about acclimatisation
I'll make sure I don't bring mine then
We make all visitors remove their shoes when entering our house.
It's also the custom in Turkey, although guest slippers are usually provided.

Same here.. but that's because we have shiny white comfortable carpet

This is one thing I never understood. Why would anyone have a white or cream carpet, the slightest accident or little bit of mud and bam, ruined.

oh no no no.... I must have cool feet or I cannot sleep. I can be bundled up in blankets and comforters to keep warm, but my feet are sticking out.
When my feet are hot, I am hot, and I hate heat. bleh.

Ya me either.. the person who built the apartment installed white carpet LOL. It was 1 thing which made me not want the place. My guess is white carpet is cheaper than all other colors. So to save $ they use it instead....
Ya red wine is the worst and dark pop too.

Heh, well I wouldn't consider outdoors as any surface fit for human feet, call me paranoid, but you have no idea what you might be treading on, glass, nails, doggy business etc.

And hey! nothing wrong with slippers!

And there was me thinking that avoiding such hazards was a function of eyesight
Besides which, where exactly do you walk regularly where you find the ground littered with glass and nails? Not anywhere I've ever been.
