I'm a no socks is too cold, socks is to hot, so I have to constantly be taking them off and on.

[–] psion1369@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

I only wear socks when I have to, and then they have to match exactly. Otherwise, barefoot and flip flops as much as possible.

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

I have must wear socks at all times UNTIL I'm suddenly all at once done with them then I MUST take them off

[–] greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 23 hours ago

I took a while to toughen up my feet, did some barefoot hiking and trail running. Now it honestly doesn't bother me. You can just get in the mood that, my feet are cold and that's fine. So I guess I wear socks when I want to.

wool stirup-ankle warmers finger shoes.

socks when no braincells, unless the floor is pretty clean. then warmers or barefoot.

Natural fibers only unless sport material. Too many brands sneaking polyester and acrylic in. Sweatmakers.

It costs so to opt out of plastic...

must have same size/tension. DIY taught me such.

Shoes require socks, that’s fine. If I’m not wearing shoes the socks come off. This makes going to friends homes sometimes awful if I’m wearing just socks. Sweaty prisons

[–] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 15 hours ago

Have you tried wool or cotton socks? I'm talking socks with NO polyester or anything else like it in there. It might help with that damp feeling.

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Absolutely not. Not only it is a hot prison but now each toe is in solitary confinement. Not for me

[–] mugthol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Take slippers with you. I do that for some friends apartments that have cold floors

Socks bad, shoes bad

They are feet prisons.

Bare feet club represent.

We rally against the evil places that require shoes to enter. Boo them!

[–] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago

depends on the socks, how hot is it today

also the "am i a goblin-halfling hybrid today, or am i feeling pretty" dilemma

yeah, like the other guy said

don't remind me of socks

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 71 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Must wear socks at all times, socks must not flop at the toe or they are sent to die a horrible death.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Floppy socks are to me a clearer sign of degeneracy than if I caught someone mixing poop with alcohol to make the poop last longer.

[–] alaphic@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Well... You certainly have a way with words... Some might characterize it as "slightly nauseating," but that still counts as 'a way' if you ask me.

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

Used to wear no socks at all, had the stinkiest imaginable shoes, always damaged, lots of foot fungus and other feet-related health problems.

Now I'm wearing a fresh pair of sports-compression-socks every day and it's heaven for my feet.

[–] Sivecano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Do not remind me that socks exist

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

..........neither? Why do people keep asking how autistic my ADD is? Seriously.

I prefer just wearing socks with no shoes when I play drums, so I can feel the pedal, and without them my feet will be cold on the metal. Is that what you mean sensory issues?

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

For me it's temperature based. I'm wearing socks unless the temperature is above 27 Celsius, at which point I'm comfortable wearing shorts and sandals.

Under 23 C my entire skin needs covering except hands & head. I cannot stand exposed skin at that point.

When it's below 5 C I wear long socks because I lose a lot of heat through they legs.

[–] Ciderpunk@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Socks are required at all times, especially indoors, unless showering or in bed. No socks in bed. Socks may be taken off if my feet get too hot but the socks must be left nearby to put back on, and also feet cannot touch floor. Socks nearby can only be then used to retrieve new socks as socks should never be put back on once removed unless in an emergency such as getting too hot.

Ideally said socks are then inside slippers to provide additional insulation from evil floor textures, but no slippers without socks. Also socks can never be pure white, that is disgusting, socks must be ideally black, but dark is fine as long as not majority white fabric. Socks must be tight enough to not move, but also not too tight as to cause discomfort. Also that inside seam near the toes must never be noticeable. If it is, those are coming off immediately and getting thrown away.

Boy this sounds insane when I type out all my rules…

Only socks with shoes. Can’t wear shoes without socks, but once the shoes come off the socks have to as well.

I like to subvert expectations by only ever wearing one sock.

I read about some surprising statistics over here. One of the leading causes of death: accidents at home. On top of that list: wool socks in the winter. Yeah I've slipped and fallen before, and I dread that, and I don't wear socks at home, thanks

[–] dorumon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I hate socks on my little paws. So I just don't usually wear them unless I have to go into work. I also exclusively wear bearfoot shoes because I hate when the front of my paws are scrunched up.

[–] Highlandcow@feddit.uk 10 points 1 day ago

Socks on all times, sometimes thigh highs cause I'm homosexual like that B)

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago
[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Socks are oppression from society.

socks alone make my feet too hot, but shoes are fine. is that a sensory issue?

Socks all the time..but not the ones with stitches on the toes! That's unbearable!

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

Depends lol, I sometimes hate the feel of socks and other times I need the extra warmth lol

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It's not a sensory issue - I just like wearing socks. Not everything needs to be pathologized.

But do you get unexplainable discomfort when you aren't wearing socks? That's the sensory issue. If you don't get that, then it's just a preference.

Socks are worn for 99% of my waking hours. They only come off in specific circumstances, normally involving water.

The socks must be well-fitting and put on straight, pulled up to their natural height and tightness. I prefer socks that come halfway up my shins, and I only wear ankle socks when working out.

The socks must be a matched pair. No mixing between different colours, cuts, brands, etc.

No holes allowed; if a sock gets a hole of any size, it immediately goes in the garbage. The widowed sock goes on my dresser until an appropriate mate is made by the splitting up of another pair.

On the other hand, I never sleep in socks under any circumstances. I find I get too warm.

"Ow, that nail has pierced the bottom of my foot and I don't like it" is a sensory issue of sorts.

Socks all the time. All the time. all the fucking time. If socks didn't get wet in the shower I'd wear them in there.

Edit: actually, thinking about it, wet socks are probably worse than anything. Like buzzing insects make my brain itchy and my spine tickle, but wet socks do something far far far worse.

Neither. Must wear socks when in the mood for socks.

[–] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I've worn these sandals pretty much exclusively for the past ~7 years. I'm on my third pair.
