Wearing shoes on stage.

Uncouth, but sometimes that is what's called for, for certain bands. I think it
s more of an image thing than anything, really.

How uncouth it is depends on where you are from or currently residing. In many coastal and beach areas of the USA bare feet or sandals/flip-flops/slippas are a widely accepted way of life.

Shoes/Boots on stage for me. Flip flops for practice.

If a chic is hot, it's cool.

I will not play for any band that asks me to wear shoes.

What's next? Tight pants and a v neck?

You do know there are bands that will not hire you unless you wear shoes.

That sounds super comfy. I would never do it myself, but hey... if it works for you, at least you have a clean and comfortable solution.

Those industrial mats are really easy on the feet.

Obviously!

My reasoning is that any ideas about maintaining an 'image' are delusional, so I want to be comfortable.
