Does this work well if I don't wear shoes? I work from home at a sit/stand desk either in socks or barefoot.

Absolutely. I work from home too. It feels great on my feet. I stand when I work all the time.
1298126
Yes. It works great regardless if you wear shoes or not. I do both (even at the office!)
1298127
I mostly wear shoes at work, but it does feel great in socks/barefoot also. I highly recommend it.

I never wear shoes on mine. I think it's actually better without shoes. When I'm standing at work I just wear my socks.

Yes, I stand on it just in socks sometimes and it feels great. Sometimes I even prefer it that way, so shoes, no shoes you can go wrong.

Hi Patricia, I wear mine under my sock or a knee high. If I put my foot into a shoe with the toes sticking out that would not feel good to me. A sock over the sleeve sock keeps it cleaner too in my humble opinionMarji

Shoe size doesn't matter. As long as you can stand on it, I see no problem using it. If your feet can keep you in an upright position, you'll be fine.

Definitely heading surface only, although if you have it on the highest setting it gives off some ambient heat and you can rest your feet comfortably beside it instead of on top of it. On the medium setting, it's perfect with socks. It won't really work for an independent heating source for the house or even a room. It might completely heat the space under your desk, but that is about it. It's meant mostly just for feet, but it does that job amazingly well!

I doubt you'd feel it if you had shoes on. You would definitely feel it barefoot and probably through socks though.You may want to be a little careful with the shoes though. The wires in this mat are *very* fine and shoes could probably break them or dislodge them from the mat surface.

That's the only way it works for me. If I wear socks, they start to slip off. I like the bare-foot workout but I suppose it would work with shoes.

It worked for me as a splint at night, it is pretty tight on the foot. I used it under socks as well but could not wear it for an extended length of time because it became uncomfortable.

I have used it bare footed with no discomfort. Wearing socks should be fine.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart. I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

I agree with your previous responders. works great with closed shoes, not sandals.

I stand on it with thin socks. It has helped tremendously with my back pain. Takes getting used to though.

Yeah I am now barefoot and foot doesn't slip, or it is hard to slip. I am getting another for my other room, great mat.

yes, this will help a lot. When my plantar facsitis starts acting up, I stand on this for a while a couple of times a day, and it really makes my feet feel better.

I wouldnt try it with bare feet. I use it with my socks and training shoes on, I hope that answer your question. I read from one of the reviews somewhere on the net to use shoes. I love my Ironman it works really good.

It's very comfortable with socks. I wear a thin sock underneath. It does not rub or bunch up in the shoe.

I always go barefoot, I'm sure shoes would be ok. Good scale, will buy another if this on fails

I usually have on tennis shoes when I stretch with the slant board. However, I have used the slant board while barefooted without a problem.
