Even so, I will sock, step on shoe, sock, put on shoe, put on other shoe. I would never, in any imaginable circumstance, have a sock and shoe on one foot while the other is bare. That is just insanity.

It's funny the stuff that can set people off, I can't stand the feel of long pants and short socks. If I'm wearing long pants, my ankles have to be covered by my socks.

I could maybe see if you have high top hiking boots to go sock>insert foot in shoe BUT LEAVE UNTIED>other sock>other shoe (tying in whatever order works). I wouldn't consider that a full "shoe" though. Like if you put the horseshoe up to the horse foot but didn't nail it in. It's not truly on until it's tied.

This is the way, you can change pants and socks without sitting ^^

1

For me personally I change outfits several times a week in a public bathroom, so my main goal is simply to avoid letting my socks or any of my other clothing touch the floor.

Corollary to this, I actually complete one foot start to finish before moving on to the next. So at the halfway point I am fully wearing a new sock and shoe on one foot, while the other is still wearing my old sock and shoe

People who don't wear shoes indoors and keep their floors clean generally put their socks on in their bedroom after they got out of bed and their shoes on in the entryway when they're about to go outside.

You know, people who don't live like animals.

That's what house slippers, thick socks and some good rugs are for. Even if somehow you have a special pair of shoes that you only wear inside and never outside for the obvious hygiene reasons, they are probably bad for your feet compared to walking barefoot.

That's what house slippers, thick socks and some good rugs are for.

You can accomplish the same thing with just normal socks though. Slippers-without-socks is a sweaty stinky nightmare and with socks is just a hat on a hat, thick socks have the same sweat problem unless your springing for merino wool which is expensive (especially for something as transitory and utilitarian as socks), and good rugs are really fucking expensive and only make sense in certain parts of the house.

In the winter its unthinkable not to but in the summer it's unthinkable to wear socks. Why did my ancestors choose to settle down in Ontario where the weather is one extreme or the other

9

I love the extremes because you never get one extreme for too long. Just when the dark cold of winter starts to seep into your soul, spring rolls around, then when the storms and rain start to get too much the hot hot summer hits, then the mornings become crisp and the leafs turn every color of the rainbow for the warm seasons' last hurrah before it dives into a winter wonderland again

2

I rarely take my socks off when I take off my shoes (unless they're wet). Not out of principal or anything, out of laziness. Later I might decide I don't feel like wearing socks any more and then take them off.

But I don't put socks on in the first place, unless I'm about to go put on shoes. If I'm not wearing socks and my feet are cold I'll get my slippers.

Sock-pants is clearly superior, but pants-socks isn't so bad if the pants aren't too tight.

I know this is a joke but I still do this when wearing a suit with creased pants. Let's you do up your laces and if you're tucking the shirt you need to undo the trousers anyway. Keeps them looking crisp, at least when it's an event you change into the suit right before.

Having cotton on the inner layer defeats the purpose of the wool though?

3

Not necessarily. It would be similar to cotton long John's underneath wool pants. It just creates pockets of air. The heat comes from your foot. The extra barrier would eliminate conductive heat transfer from your foot to the wool while adding in pockets of air such transfer less heat via convective transfer. The problem would be if your foot sweats as now you're adding in a cotton layer that will absorb that moisture and reduce its insulating properties.

You must live in a warm area, have a very well isolated house, or have heating in the floor. If I'd do they here for 70% of the year my feet will be way too cold to be comfortable

2

Socks+rugs and carpets make cold floor a non-issue, and it now gets to -40 for a week or so every winter here so I certainly wouldn't call it a warm place (though most summers it'll get as high as 90F at 100% humidity)

Depends on the environment. When camping, in a tent without a floor, putting on each shoe right after the sock allows parking the shoed foot on the dirt while putting on the next sock and shoe.
But putting on both socks and then putting on both shoes is the default.

18

Camping is almost always a sock shoe, sock shoe. That way you keep your feet clean and your shoes out of the tent

Archie Bunker got very upset when he saw his son-in-law doing sock, shoe, sock, shoe. The son's closing argument was along the lines of, "What if we're both halfway done and there's a fire, so we have to run outside? The fire department is spraying water all over. Your feet get soaking wet because you're in your socks. But I have one shoe on, so I can hop and stay dry."

Had to dredge that memory up from the deep archives.

Better yet, just wear boots at all times. If you never remove them, you’ll never have to worry about broken glass again! You know, just in case.

You say that as a joke, but it’s very real. The ED staff like to mutter about never removing the boots. The floor staff mutter about having to do just that.

There are homeless people who’ve not removed their boots in a year or two. There are toes that come off with socks.

There’s no “better yet” in this scenario.

For winter hiking, skiing, etc, it often becomes sock sock, shoe, sock, sock shoe, so the socks dont slide down while im getting the other side on.

You should fold your socks together when they come out of the dryer.

Do this: buy all new socks, all the same color and brand, so they all match each other. Then you can just take any two and fold them together. If you're missing a sock, just leave the odd one in the dryer for the next time through, eventually, you'll find the other sock, and they'll be reunited. Also, when you take your socks off, don't leave them balled up, or turned inside out, so when they come out of the dryer they're ready to fold.

This is what I taught my kids. They had their own sock color, as did I. We always knew whose sock was on the floor in the hallway.

5

Hey look, this person's kids are already more skilled at keeping their shit together than I am. Good job!

I completely agree with you! I have done this before but the bulk socks I bought were low quality so they wore out super quick getting holes in them. This caused me to revert back to my various branded socks... They were a brand that used to be good called Golden Toe. I used to use them when I worked in my feet all day because they were thicker and more durable. Not anymore apparently. I should do this again with better socks! Thanks for the advice.

4

Mine is wipe bare foot, sock, shoe, tie. Then repeat, wipe, sock, shoe, tie. I wipe my feet before work because im barefooted through my house over carpet(ew) in a house with 5 animals. And i unlace and retie my shoes everyday instead of keeping them tied forcing my foot in.
