If I'm doing body-weight working out (pushups, squats, planks, etc.), it's just bare feet. If I'm doing anything involving weights that could be dropped on feet, then you put workout shoes on upon entering the room and take them back off upon leaving.

I have indoor shoes for working out. Also since I'm not really walking around the house in them, I don't mind if they've been used outside.

@redsmarties: I can't imagine doing Shred while barefoot or in socks (I would slip on the hardwoods)

I wear sneaks. Especially for cardio. I have a pair that I only wear indoors.

@Smurfette: I have a pair of sneakers that only get worn for indoor exercising like kickboxing.

@Smurfette: I'm more likely to slip wearing socks than barefoot! But I don't wear shoes because I don't want to wear them on the rug (where I probably won't slip). If I was doing something intensive on hardwood, I'd probably just wear clean sneakers.

@Smurfette: Jillian's 30 Day Shred? I've totally done that barefoot on my hardwood floors! I probably wouldn't recommend socks, since they slide around, but my feet are just as grippy as sneakers on my living room floor. Might depend on how your floor is finished though?

I wear my workout shoes. I always have a pair of runners that I only wear for running/working out, so they are pretty spotless.
I have really only done 30 day shred indoors and couldn't do it barefoot or in socks!

@raspberries: We wear shoes in our house. Well I take mine off cause that is more comfy, but I put on my sneakers to workout.

Barefoot or if it's a hardcore workout I put on tennis shoes just for the workout!
I don't take my shoes off in the house because of dirt (although that's a plus)...I just don't feel like I'm completely comfortable and relaxed with shoes on!

I have indoor shoes that I use only on the treadmill or in the house.

I put sneakers on. I think it would hurt my feet to do aerobics with no shoes on.

I wears socks and shoes when I work out unless it's just pilates or something low impact. But if i'm going to be jumping or stuff, i want the traction from shoes. I wear shes on the elliptical...

I have special indoor sneakers. All my workout is done indoors anyway. At home I just do yoga or Pilates which I do barefoot.

Sneakers designated for indoor workouts. I can't do barefoot, I need the support.
