I've no "adult" footwear left. Upon retirement, wingtips, penny loafers, anything requiring polish went to Goodwill with suits, ties, sport jackets, and those button down Oxford cloth dress shirts.
Now, it's Crocs, hiking boots, or swim fins.

I’d go barefoot half the year if it wasn’t for fire ants.

Which shoe or boot I wear depends on the activity. All footwear must be comfortable and functional.

I never wear high heels. High heels permanently damage your back and feet.

Water shoes- canoeing, kayaking or fording a river or creek.

Hiking boots- obviously for hiking.

Micro-spikes- walking and hiking on ice and (not deep) snow.

Snowshoes- for deep snow. Sometimes we carry micro-spikes and snowshoes. It's heavy. But conditions vary and change.

Downhill and cross-country ski boots and equipment.

Running shoes - running and weightlifting. I keep a pair in my car trunk.

Leather dress shoes and boots- Winter dresses and skirts.

Nice sandals- Summer skirts and dresses.

Suede moccasins for indoors.

These are my beloved Lowa hiking boots. See the micro-spikes? I made velcro straps for Karen and me, to avoid losing expensive micro-spikes in the snow. I keep my hiking boots waterproofed.

My hiking boots last about 800 miles or 3-4 years. Then the traction on the soles wears down. These boots cannot be resoled.

When I start slipping and sliding on steep descents, I need new boots.

UGGs in the winter, Birkenstocks in the summer

I spend most of my time in boots, tools of the trade but like sandals when I can.

Doc told me NEVER go barefoot. Hell, at this point he says never without arch support. So custom orthotics it is. /cry

I hate wearing shoes so hard. The preference is barefoot, then Chucks, then flats, then other gym shoes. I love heels. Adore them. Wish I could wear them. But, alas, my new ankle and reconstructed foot think that's a bad idea.

So Cal, ergo, sandals; or flip flops (Hawaiians call them 'slippahs' )

I love my chucks, and my Doc boots. I am way to clumsy to wear shoes I can slip on, because I will fall out of them, lol.

Being a bit of a shoe nut, I vote for all except barefoot. I have a nasty habit of walking into things and breaking toes. Shoes tend to take the brunt of the blow.

Yes to all.

My sister turned me on to orthopedic flip-flops! I wear them year round! Everywhere in the summer, when possible... And indoors all winter.

barefoot for indoors, sandals for outdoors (even in the snow). i have a bad toe and cannot tolerate enclosed shoes.

For preference in this order
Barefoot
Flip Flop
Macbeth Vegan ....moved on from vans I never been a fan of converse any how
Then Palladium baggies
Then anything by vegetarian shoes that will do the job.

I used to live in my Doc Martens when I was a kid but I haven't been able to afford any yet in Vegan maturity.

But almost always lace up over slip on for sure. Slips are just too louche!

I wear boots (hikers for work) laces (Vans), slip ons (Vans again), and sandals (Birkenstocks and Tevas), so that's what I prefer!

Shearling slippers with rubber soles. Of course to actually leave the house it's slip ons.

It really depends on what I'm doing.
If I'm working in the yard, it's definitely my Sloggers (slip-ons).
If I am walking around somewhere other than the yard, it's sneaker w/laces.
If I'm sitting on my butt at home, it's the Dearfoam slippers.

I switch between trainers and croccs

Merrill’s or Sketchers slip on for casual and Vasque laces hiking shoes for motorcycle riding and other more strenuous activities.

I prefer slip-ons

I'm an older guy and I now swear by Skechers slip ons!

I love being barefoot. However, my boss frowns on such notions.
At work, it's sneakers. Laces.
At home, it's based on the season. Sandals then boots.
But I do have 12+ pairs of heels from my office work days.

I have no favorite. I use all of the listed shoe options.

For many years, I lived with a pair of chucks, a pair of army boots and a pair of thongs (flip flops). Now that I'm middle aged and live in Manchester, it's a pair of crocs, a pair of hiking sneakers and a couple of pairs of leather lace up shoes for work. Non-waterproof footwear doesn't work in the land of constant drizzle.

I wear Birkenstocks most of the year unless I have to wear something nice. In the winter I'll wear Converses, again, unless I have to wear something nice. I've got a few nice sandals and boots for special occasions.
