It is becoming more difficult to find shoes that really feel good when one is looking for shoes , other than sandals of course, to wear without any foot covering like socks, hose, etc. My new comfy pumps that I wore only twice with hose, as I wore them with a just at knee length dress, are not nearly as comfy feeling with bare feet as I do not want, or need, the ph when wearing them with pants.

Gotta return a really nice pair of sport flats as they have x straps and the one strap on one shoe is rubbing a bit on the top of my foot. Put them on with a pair of socks and they felt like slippers. But I do not ever plan to wear them that way so unfortunately they gotta go back. Even some athletic shoes do not feel as good without socks. I am searching for another pair of running shoes like my sketchers that were made for bare feet, but can not find them, and the old ones are getting worn and shabby. I do not like those little footie sock thingies either. On hot days when running the dogs -between runnings etc,. I take off the shoes and put on my old flip flops. So having to take off the sock thingies gets to be just one more thing to keep track of all day,,and I have not found any that do not show either.
