Shoes Without Socks

Alish56 — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 18:34:45 GMT

I have never been able to wear shoes without wearing socks. Really dislike the feeling.

Am I Alone in this?

I haven't seen any official statistics on the wearing of socks, but must confess that I never wear them, even in winter. I wear compression hose on airplanes and that's it for hosiery.

I cannot stand the feeling of a closed toe shoe or sneaker without wearing a sock.

No - you're not alone.

Just the thought of bare feet in shoes is "icky."

All those dead skin cells building up inside of shoes?

I wear socks, trouser socks or knee-highs - never bare feet.

In the summer I don't wear socks with shoes but make sure I put lots of foot powder in the shoes!!!!!!! It does help.

What really irks me are those who try on shoes in a store without socks, that is so gross and unhealthy. I am very turned off and would never do it myself.

When I see women...and men...without socks, yet wearing beautiful and expensive shoes, I am grossed out. To ruin the inside of shoes with foot sweat, and more, is a disgusting thought. I think that the longevity of shoes is affected by the no-socks practice. I always wear socks, Peds, knee hi stockings, or pantyhose with my shoes. Anything less is simply gross.

I hate socks! I will never wear them unless in extreme circumstances--summer or winter. My feet don't sweat, don't stick, don't have a problem and I hate the way my feet feel in socks!

Liberate your feet, free your toes, ditch the socks!

i love socks, but for the warmth factor. i wear them on those few days during winter when my feet are cold, and i wear them in bed a lot (year round) ... but i never wear socks in summer.

Yuck!!! Dirty, smelly and disgusting to me! I wear socks and never go barefoot in shoes - except for sandals and even then I wipe the sandal where my feet touch each time I wear them! I have seen the mess from those who powder the insides of their shoes! I cannot imagine that anyone does not sweat inside shoes and have their feet moist and sticky.

I wear socks if I am walking or working out and in the winter with boots. Otherwise pretty much never; it would have to be below freezing which doesn’t happen too often here.

Well, I used to feel like you. And I continue to love socks. I just love to wear them. However, I moved to a warmer climate where socks are uncomfortable much of the year, even with closed shoes. And of course never with sandals. So I've adjusted to wearing socks like crazy whenever it's cool enough, and I always wear them with athletic shoes (and boy is it hard to find little socks that don't show but won't slide down into the shoes.).

My socks get their exercise at night when I put creme on for bed. Don't much care care for foot covering.

I cannot go barefoot in a closed shoe. I must have some type of sock. In the wintertime this is no problem, but when it is warmer, it is.

I ONLY wear sandals in the summertime, without socks. In the winter, I wear a lot of clogs..with socks.

I cannot wear tennis shoes or any sneaker with or without socks. The Soles of my feet burn in them. I also do not wear any vegan leathers.

I used to buy the sketchers with the synthetic fleece lining when they were available. I can wear them with or without socks.

I think bare feet ruin a good pair of leather shoes, but I wish I had the option of going barefoot in them anyway. My feet get uncomfortable and burn in shoes without socks.

I mostly go in bare feet when possible..so comfortable.

I always wear socks with shoes. Otherwise, my feet will get cold. I have 1 pair of nice slides, but rarely wear them because my feet get cold. I can only wear them in summer when I'm going to be outside. Even the Birkenstock type shoes I wear with socks.

I rarely wear socks. Only in the winter if absolutely necessary.

I wear socks a lot in the winter. If I wear closed shoes in the summer (which I seldom do) I dont wear socks. I dont have a problem with sweaty feet or foot odor so I do fine wearing shoes w/o socks.

I wear peds or insoles that I pop out and wash frequently. Maybe others do that too. I also powder up a storm. I also wear stocking knee highs. I think many outfits are ruined with the look of socks. Especially leggings and ballet flats or loafers. Jeans with white socks? Yuk! Black socks with jeans or any slim leg pant ? No way. Your husbands white socks...that’s also a no no. This is just me, but sandals and socks should be outlawed. 😝 Although some people maybe saving us from having to look at their funky toes. LOL

@Alish56 you are definitely not alone. I can't go sockless even in the softest fully lined leather shoe, I get blisters.
