yes, these are my glitter shoes again, brought out for special occasions.
—
while i do so love to be barefoot or in sandals whenever possible
there are times when shoes are needed,
like novemeber-march in michigan
and sometimes on small holidays or dance party fridays.

“when I die I don’t want to be wearing shoes.
i want to have just enough notice so that I can pull them off and get comfortable.
shoes mean death snuck up on you.
shoes mean you had other plans.”
-jason buchholz, a paper son
I love bare feet too! Of course, I don’t have a pair of glitter shoes to turn to or maybe I would feel differently.

Bare feet rule! The idea of not be wearing shoes when we die is tantalizing, as if we have any control of when that moment will come. I think I’d rather be wearing shoes than being stuck in hospital socks, though…

I need my sturdy shoes in winter, Beth, and they are more likely to have salt stains on them than glitter!

On my shoes it just looks dried and blah white, Beth.

This resonates loudly with me. My shoes come off before I even come in my house. Working from home, there may be weeks I don’t put shoes on! (Fun little side note, I have been doing home visits for my career for over 20 years, I STILL have a hard time not kicking off my shoes on people’s porches or in their foyers.)

I am rarely barefoot, except on a beach in summer. When I go out on the dog-walk, I usually wear long rubber boots. (Wellingtons) Then when I get home, I take off the boots and thick socks before slipping into some cosy sheepskin bootee slippers. However, I rarely wear socks, unless I have to. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

When I was growing up we…sister and I…were never allowed to be barefoot, especially outside the house…The only time I walk barefoot…in the house…is during my summer holiday abroad. Good post Beth!

When outside I love being in shoes! The dust in India needs a good pair of shoes and when at home I get into my sandals as soon as possible or none, I do love to wiggle my toes 😀

I need shoes (with socks) to keep my feet warm during Minnesota’s winters. I also wear them indoors for arch support. I have “indoor” shoes and “outdoor” shoes. But I do not have glittery shoes. What fun!
