Don't drag your feet.

Hi

Are the underlined sentences natural?

[Mother to her son]

John, lift your feet and walk; don't drag them.
Please don't drag your feet so much.


Thanks,

Tom

Hi Yes, that's perfectly OK. You can use the words in that physical sense. It is also commonly used as a metaphor: - We need to get the Paris office open immediately: don't drag your feet Dave
