.Catholic AnswerDiscalced Carmelite priests always wear sandals. "Discalced" means unshod or without shoes.

Diocesian priests are not required to wear one or the other, so it is a matter of personal choice, or up to their individual bishops.
What shoes did medieval nuns where?
It varied with the order involved, there being no independent or secular nuns- all belong to some formal congregation or order- ( Franciscans, Dominicans, sisters of Charity- Mercy, etc.) the Carmelites, or at least a branch of them were called discalced- and they went about barefoot or possibly in biblical-style sandals. They were founded in Spain . I don" t think there were specific uniform codes for footwear in modern religious orders- except possibly white shoes for Nursing sisters.

Who founded the Carmelites order?
The Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (the "Carmelites") was founded in Palestine by St. Berthold about 1145 A.D. The original rule, set down in 1209 A.D. by the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Albert of Vercelli (1149-1214), was very severe prescribing absolute poverty, total abstinence from meat, and solitude. After the Crusades, the Englishman St. Simon Stock (d. 1265) reorganized the Carmelites as mendicant friars. The laxity of the sixteenth century brought reforms among the women under St. Teresa of Avila (1515-82) and the men under St. John of the Cross (1542-91). This created the independent branches of the order, know today as the Discalced Carmelites (which means unshod, following the Teresian reform.

She lived in the 16th century when all nuns were cloistered (enclosed). So, no, she did not encourage her nuns to go out anywhere. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta was a nun in the twentieth century who started an order to minister to the needs of the poor - the Sisters of Charity.
