Hah I'm not the only one.
Also always barefoot or socks.

I am going to give it a go in my socks next week, don't know what my gym will think of that but I will give a try and see if they say anything, I am hoping it will help my squats.

i just like it when poeple look over and think 'he's taken his shoes off.... what the hell is he doing??' ha ha!!!

i think i'll try it with squats as well next time.

I like doing my squats in socks.... not barefoot... and if anything it's just because aftera long day of wearing my old ratty shoes, my feet smell horrible... socks mask it... and no slippage for me.

I'll add myself as another socks-only weight lifter. It's primarily because I only have trainers with compressable soles, but I'm so used to it now. I'm shoes off when I enter the gym, and stay shoes off until I've completed my workout.

Wearing socks is like wearing gloves.

Been doing the barefoot thing for a while now and works great. Better stability, and the best part? the "know-it-all" at the gym just evades me ! ! !

I always lift barefoot. I have been thinking of getting some shoes for when we move our "gym" out to the shop. It will probably get cold out there!

the best lift to go barefoot on is the deadlift, shorter distance to pull

Wool socks, probably. SOCKS MADE OF WOOL
No way would I work out in those, maybe if I was working out outside in the winter...but even then you get so hot and sweaty =/
