I find that I can't stand the socks I normally wear. They're a nice cushy stretchy type of sock but they make my feet burn (?). Not really sure how to describe the feeling. And shoes are the same way: They must not put any pressure anywhere on my toes or insteps. Drives me absolutely *nuts*! So, I tend to go barefoot or wear my slip on sandals most of the time. I don't know what I'm going to do when it gets *really* cold.
