What Kind Of Shoes Do You Wear While Baking And Decorating?
Decorating By karenm0712 Updated 15 Apr 2009 , 1:16pm by jules06
After two consecutive weekends in the kitchen baking and decorating I have made myself a promise to find some comfortable shoes to wear while baking and decorating from now on! I can't tell you how bad I ache all over today - from the heals of my feet all the way up to the bottom of my neck!
Does anyone have a recommendation for a particular shoe or slip on to wear while in the kitchen baking and decorating?
I was thinking of getting some crocks - I see people on the Food Network wearing them all the time. 
I can't stand to wear shoes - i love to be barefoot - but after these past two weekends I have got to find something!
99% of the time I am barefoot when at home. Unless I'm baking and decorating. Then I wear some slip on tennies. Cooking/baking barefoot grosses me out
I have a pair of Crocs and I love them. They are so comfortable. I hate how big they look, but they are great around the house. I would never have paid the 45.00 dollars for them, so my husband bought them for me. 
I wear flip flops,like the very comfortable ones.

One word. CROCKS. I bake in my basement, so cement floors. Have a bad back, once I found these I am now able to stand like 10-12 hours and no back, feet, or leg aches. Worth every penny. 
I wear non skid shoes like what they require waitresses to wear. You used to be able to buy them almost anywhere, but I get them from a shoe store that sells work shoes. They are black and look like tennis shoes, but they have a rubber non skid sole. I only wear them in the kitchen, they never go outside.

Unless you are stirring something with your feet, why would it matter ? 
Sorry, couldn't resist.....

That's gross! Thanks for the laugh!
I definately learned the hard way (in culinary school, on cement floors) to wear "good" support shoes (I choose walking tennis shoes) with support knee highs (purchased at uniform store) that prevents buldging blood vessels. THEN I purchased one of those WONDERFUL commercial rubber mats from Cash & Carry to stand on. It makes all the difference in the world as too how tired my legs and back get after hours of working in the kitchen on tile floors. [/list]
Thanks for all of the responses! I am on a mission today and you all have helped so much!

Ohhh Lainalee I am now going to HAVE to get some crocs! I had my spine fused back in 2000 and my back etc was KILLING me despite pain meds after this weekend! Thanks for the suggestion!
Crocs are a must! I've tried everything and finally I broke down and bought a pair of Croc flip-flops...best investiment ever.
Another aide, an anti-fatigue mat. My sister got me one for my birthday and after 4-5hr decorating session my knees and back are no longer hurting!
Edited to add "hr".
CROCS!! I've actually talked my husband into wearing them around the house now too - they are wonderful for your feet, legs and back if you have hardwood and ceramic tile.
I wear my slippers since my pug sits right at my feet and I don't want to step on him too hard when I trip over him.
He sits at my feet thinking please , please drop some icing.
He goes nuts for icing, just like my grandkids.

CROCS! I wear Crocs almost all the time...and I agree 150% with everything previous posters have said! They are amazing and comfortable and washable and are available in a bunch of colors and styles. They are NOT all ugly. But I don't care about that at all. I own 10 pairs !!!

Gotta get me some of those!
SugarFrosted---Thanks for posting http://shop.crocs.com/jibbitz.aspx?jcatid=46 What a wonderful website. I had no idea they have SO many different styles of Crocs now. And love the little jibbitzs. So cute...
I have one of the original designs of Crocs and love them, but after looking around I have to get some new ones. Thanks!!!
Crocks actually have some very stylish ( and comfy) shoes now...they are even carrying a crocks work shoe called Saffron(has treads on the bottom- slip resistant to soap,oil ,water..etc) kinda pricey at 60 bucks.
I love a newer style too called Olvia...very cute!
