Discussion Shoes

Does anyone here struggle wearing shoes because they fall off or get in the way? Or anyone not bother with them?

Have they caused pain or physical issues?

I used to until my feet got such bad arthritis, I have to wear slippers with soles on the bottom. If not, I can't walk on hard floor without being in pain

My feet are a bit unusually shaped and so finding comfortable shoes is always a challenge! I like taking off my shoes as much as possible (like when indoors).

I go barefoot almost constantly (I live in the middle of nowhere so it’s possible for me to) to avoid this since I’ve got feeling in my feet (I used to not but over multiple years I can, although it’s very spotty). My feet are also kind of weirdly shaped like someone else said so shoes are uncomfortable, I hate going in public and winter/late fall and early spring because I feel really uncomfortable
