Yep. I have awful feet (plantar fasciitis and a cyst in the marrow of one of my heels), so I go for as much cushion and support as possible at all times.

No shoes at home for me - pretty much all the time but definitely when I'm working out. We have a rug in the living room which is the only place with a tv and DVD player (gasp, shocking!) and it's too much friction with shoes on so I end up having bad form and feel like I'm going to trip myself. As long as you're not experiencing any pain or balance problems, barefoot should be fine.

I was all barefoot until I got shin splints, now I wear shoes unless I'm doing Yoga. I really want to give those barefoot sneakers a try. I wish I never had to wear shoes

Depends on the exercises you're doing. For example, I find that some exercises like push-ups and planks are more comfortable in shoes. However, other ones are easier w/o shoes.

No shoes for me! I workout barefoot.
And honestly, one of the reasons I prefer working out at home is because it cuts down on laundry!! I'm usually just in a sports bra and underwear at home; if I were going to the gym, I'd have to actually put shorts and a shirt on. |

I like to lift barefoot but the gym won't allow it, so I wear Chuck Taylors to lift, and minimalist sneakers to run. Unless I'm running on grass, in which case I like to run barefoot.

I usually wear shoes. It's hard to do my planks in socks because I slide around.

When I lived in a house with a cement floor, it was shoes. Too hard on the joints. But in a house with a wood floor, there is more give, so no shoes. That was when I did Sweatin' to the Oldies videos or stationary bike.

Depends on the workout. If there is any sort of impact, my knees feel better with shoes.

Shoes ...
And I feel awful saying this, but it makes me feel so much better that people who appear to be smaller than me are having foot problems. I was feeling so very self conscious about my plantars faciitis. |

I wear Nike Free's for all indoor exercising. When I'm doing a yoga dvd, I don't wear shoes. That's the only time I go barefoot.

WEAR SHOES!!!!!! Seriously, I didn't wear them and did exercise videos when I was visiting my parents for FOUR DAYS in January. On day 4 I tore a tendon in my foot and couldn't work out or do any sport for FOUR MONTHS. It was the most painful thing I've ever done and it still aches now.
