A pair of Lems Chillum shoes. They have a wide toe box and zero drop but still look and act like a real shoe compared to something more “barefoot”. My current daily driver.

I had a pair of "WHITIN" ones from Amazon and as much as I like the wide toe box, the fact that there was no cushion what-so-ever was a deal breaker. I am fine with a zero drop, but cushion is a necessary. When I hear the barefoot argument that "that's how we evolved", I agree. However, hard floors are somewhat of a new thing for humans and cushion is a necessity for me. Also, these look much cooler.
I have a pair of Whitin zero drops. I added a heel cup that gives a bit of cushion and changes it from a zero drop to like a 1mm drop. The addition made the shoes feasible for my needs and they're way cheaper than Lems.
Significantly cheaper.
I agree! These have a cork cushion inside, I’m a big fan after wearing for 1 year.
None! I'm barefoot in pajamas right now!
I hope you are in a warm climate.
On my right foot I have the left shoe of a pair of Nike SB Dunk Low (Freddy Krueger edition) sneakers.
On my left foot I have the left one of a pair of Red Christian Louboutin Boots.
On my other foot I have the right one of a pair of counterfeit Ugg boots bought off Vinted for £4.99
I feel special.
Wait a minute
I think my mother would teleport go my home if she thought I was wearing shoes in bed.
They might protect my toes from a kitten though. Maybe I'll just start wearing very thick socks!
I'm wearing Converse lugged.. I like these shoes for the $20 I paid. They are very versatile, I use them kinda as boots. I hope they are on sale next year as I plan to buy 2 more pairs.
Gen z alert
None!
A pair of black BeLenka minimalist boots with wool lining. They’re very flexible and comfy but still keep my feet warm.
Some icebug brand I think. They're fantastic for wintery conditions.
I'm wearing house slippers. The floors are cold so plain socks are not comfortable enough for me.
I'm barefoot.
I'm barefoot.
Ditto - it's 18°C here. That weird gap that I'm still shirtless, barefoot, but my cat is already looking for her blanket.

Crocs and socks.
Converse All Star Hi Tops, red.
Loved mine, but hated that they broke after 2 years of daily use
Whatever these are that I got from Walmart for $5:
What are thoooooooooose?!?
Jet black sneakers. I'm not goth or emo but was feeling all black today (light black tanktop, black plaid shirt which is around my waist, black jeans, and black sneakers, with only a white temple garment bra/panties) because I had to help someone test some cinema technology in a dark environment.
light black tanktop
Odd way to say grey
It's like a burnt or charcoal grey, so just dark enough to wonder if it's considered black yet.
Socks and flip-flops
I'm calling the cops
An old pair of Adidas slides that I inherited when my youngest stepson left them with us when he moved to live with his dad. They’re really work down and I need to replace them soon.
That's a story right there
Im in Winnie the Pooh mode right now… just a shirt.
pics or it didn't happen
Trust me, my friend nobody wants that
Moccasins.
Are you Cherokee?
No - I have worn moccasins around the house, at least in the winter, since I was a kid and make-them-yourself kits were in fashion back in the '70s. No idea how many pairs I have had since then.
Went on a hike today, didn't get home between then and work. Now on the way home from work and looking forward to taking them off!
They are! Great for walking. For sitting around, I prefer something more loose though. I wouldn't normally wear them to work (even though that's more standing and only some sitting).
Currently not wearing any with my feet on my living room table.
..but normally I wear these. I picked them up on the company tab (cow not included) for use at work a coupleofyears ago, but they turned out to be so damn comfortable and high quality that I use them for everything.
Protective composite toe that don't set off airport metal detectors, and they're ESD safe.
I wear Sanuk Cozy Mats around the house. They’ve got that awesome heel that folds down so you can slip into them and wear them like slippers or pop them up and wear them like shoes. Probably the most comfortable footwear I’ve ever owned. Bought two pairs just in case they stop making them.
Sanuks are SO COMFY! I've definitely gone to the store, looked down, and realized I'm still wearing my slippers. I get through a pair o dice each summer.
They really are, I’ve totally worn mine outside by accident more than once! I had an old pair of suede slippers of theirs for more than a decade before they finally wore out. The stitching and materials are top-notch, it’s clear they care about quality.

Amazing. I'm getting more.

House shoes. Been out in the slush and salt a lot, so I can't just wear my boots like i prefer.
