I am not wearing shoes

[draftermatt]

And I'm at work

Why would I do such a thing when the floor is so covered in dust and grime (despite being washed once a week).

I had to wear my steel toes today to fill in for someone in the plant this morning.

I told myself to bring sneakers, but no, the steel toes only recently started hurting my feet (right after I broke my toe), it won't be so bad.

But alas, here I sit, shoes on the floor, socky feet sitting Indian style on an office swivel chair.

At least it isn't cold today.

I did that a lot when I was pregnant towards the end, but that was because my feet liked to swell up on me when I was doing floor walker duties. Ahh the joys of pregnancy hehe

I don't like wearing socks myself. It's mostly a quirk of my Asperger's Syndrome. I wear sandals whenever possible. But if I could, I'd go barefoot everywhere, simply because it's comfortable...

When I was a kid and teenager, and even into my early 20's, when I was at home in NH and there wasn't snow (or mud) on the ground, I was barefoot. Even at school. The teachers tried to get me to wear shoes, but I refused. And because it was a private school that had some odd shoe rules anyway, they gave up fairly quickly and just let me do what I want.

I hate summer in the city, because the closest I can get to bare feet is birkenstocks, and even then I have to go home and scrub my feet down every night. Ick. Hopefully this summer I can spend a lot more weekends in NH, barefoot, letting my feet build their calluses back up and enjoying the texture of fresh-mown grass.

Mmm...is it summer yet?

I despise shoes and socks. I wear ballet flats to work that I can kick off under the desk, and only put them on if I need to go outside my department. My boss thought this was so funny that she bought me pink fuzzy slippers with glittery skulls on them for Christmas. So now I wear those at work instead.

I love it Joi! I wear ballet flats EVERYWHERE now I love them. Got a pair at walmart for like, $10, and a pair of sneaker like ballet flats that are too friggin cute, purple and black striped with rubber sneaker toes Love em

I don't go barefoot anymore--too many instances of my bare feet stepping on hurty things when I was a child.

Still, I enjoy the wind through my toes in the spring and summer. I've got three different pairs of sandals I wear for a while until they get too stinky and then I switch.

Plus my Abe Simpson shoes which I can wear with socks or bare feet anytime of year.

I kick off my shoes all the time (sometimes I even untie my sneaks). My office is carpeted, though. I don't usually wear open-toes because if I have to go out into the warehouse for anything I can't wear them out there. If I do wear them, I bring a pair of ballet flats or sneakers just in case. Indian-style on my office chair is pretty much a normal thing, shoes or no

Okay, some of you know I own upwards of 40 pair of shoes, right?

I go barefoot wherever possible.

Yeah, I know, there's no explanation for it. My feet are legendary. They are like sherpa feet.

I once wore a hollow place in a pumice stone trying to wear some of the callus off. That didn't work, so I tried an electric reciprocating sander. That worked, sort of, but not very well. And my husband caught me in a cloud of dust, going at my sole with a freaking sander in the garage and flipped out.

I can walk on gravel. I can walk on burning hot summer asphalt. I even accidently stepped into a pile of burning coals and didn't get burned. No lie.

But yeah, 40 pair of shoes and rarely wear any of 'em.

Oh, and when I worked in the stores and was always on register, more often than not I was walking around in my socks back there.

Man I have to wear shoes at work! I hate you guys! Stupid dress code...

Mmm...is it summer yet?

It is down here. Seriously in Texas our four seasons consist of Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Christmas.
