I like shoes on. I tried no shoes and didn't like the feel. I sometimes play with flipflops, but they do exactly that, flip flop around.

Shoes always.

I used to play barefoot and I know I didn't do my feet any good.

I do most of my playing live and long ago discovered that there was a lot of stuff at gigs that I didn't want to step on. I also found that I couldn't really get as "enthusiastic" with my unshod feet as I could with shoes on--I kept smashing my toes etc.

Sandy beaches, lawns, etc, yeah.

Shoe's,, I use a Dw 5000 pedal the logo is part of the pedal, you would have no skin left on the bottom of your foot left, from the raised logo! and all my Idols use shoes to play and that's how I learned to play!

Socks at home, shoes at a gig. Always felt weird to play a gig without shoes.

I do both, but these days I'm only a casual player. All gigs were done with shoes. I've sat-in with flippies, but that's a nightmare.
