Do You Wear Houseshoes Around The House?

United States
January 3, 2009 7:16pm CST
I was thinking earlier that I wouldn't mind having a pair of houseshoes to wear around the house. I normally always wear a pair of socks, but I was thinking that houseshoes might be more comfortable. Do you wear houseshoes? Or are you like me and walk around in your socks or do you just go barefoot?

I tend to wear a pair of flip flops around the house. They're not great for wearing them out and about anymore but around the house so my feet don't get dirty and so I don't step on anything strange, they work rather well. They're comfortable too and my feet don't get too hot. The only problem is my feet getting too cold in winter, lol.

The pair of flip flops I wear do not have the piece that goes between your toes. It just has two thick but soft bands that go across your feet.

I've never really liked flipflops. I just hate something between my toes, I don't know why. Thanks for the comment!

I don't house shoes. I use footwear around the house. I don't see any reasons of wearing shoes around the house, its our house so I can use footwear.

Yes I do wear housshoes. I got two new pairs for Christmas. I like the slip on ones with no backs in them. I have one pair that is a full covering houseshoe that I dont wear very often. They are very comfy and much warmer on my feet than just socks!LOL

I think I would like the ones with the back on them. I just think they would be more comfortable. Thanks for the comment!

I have separate shoes to wear at home for different seasons, slippers only in summer. But I do not ask my guests to change shoes at my home. It is because I do not want to change shoes at my guests' home. I would rather clean the floor after the guests are gone. Normally we do not use carpets at home, so that is relatively easy to handle.

IN the summer I tend to go barefoot. In the winter I just love the slipper socks. They are so warm and cozy. They really make a difference. I also have a pair of the slippers that look like uggs which are also very comfy. If my feet are cold, then the rest me feels cold no matter how much I layer up so yes...invest in some. You can get some pretty cheap and you won't regret it at all.

I am a barefoot kind of girl. I do not like having anything on my feet. I take off my shoes and socks as soon as I walk through the door. I have only ever owned one pair of house shoes in my life and I did not like wearing them.

I mostly run around in my bare feet when I'm home. I don't own any house slippers.

My feet have a tendency to get cold fast and thats why I rarely go barefoot around the house. so i'm always wearing socks around the house. I have thought about getting houseshoes before, but never really got around to it, not sure if I will either cause Sometimes I will go to bed with socks on cause i'm so cold.

slippers - comfy rubber slippers for the house
hello single mommy:) I have very comfortable house slippers that i wear only inside the house. I keep my shoes in a separate storage room so that there is less chances of spreading the germs from outside into the house. I love wearing socks indoors but have stopped doing so because i have a hard time removing the dirt stain under

I'm wearing a pair of slipper and it feels much comfortable than barefoot. We have a tropical climate here sometimes sunny or cloudy and enough to fall a rain. Slippers is an ordinary wear of most people here inside and out of the house and it was so very comfortable with us. We are wearing shoes if we are going to offices or schools or somewhere else that is required to wear shoes. Only the rich people here with much aircon inside their house wear socks inside.

In summer I go barefoot, I hate shoes at home, but in winter I use socks since it is a bit cold. I only wear shoes when I am washing the floor not to wet my socks. :)

My daughter-in-law bought me a pair of Isotoner secret sole houseshoes for Christmas and boy they are comfortable. I have been a person who either wears socks or I just go barefoot depending on what mood I am in. But since I got the Isotoners for Christmas that is what I wear around the house all the time. They are really comfortable.

Hi there I do not wear houseshoes, but I do have a pair of flipflops to where in our house. I live in a tropical country and wearing socks at home would just drive me crazy because my feet are claustrophobic LOL! Seriously, it would be too warm to warm for socks at home. Walking around barefoot would also be out of the question because our floors can get too dusty even if we clean it everyday. have a nice day, friend!

Yes! I have two pairs of furry house shoes I have been bought by my daughters, but I never wear them. I always seem to walk around barefoot all the time as it feels more comfortable to me. I will put on a pair of socks though if it gets really cold, but I really love my feet to breath as they feel choked wearing shoes indoors.
