My kids always teased me for doing just that: "Dad, you are a typical European." Precision: I only wore the socks and sandals when I was wearing long pants. When I was wearing short I skipped the socks … usually. So I got used to wearing sandals without socks, never the other way round. Finally I reached the stage where I was able to skip the socks even when wearing long pants.
Admission I don't remember whether I was wearing socks when I was kicked out of jail for wearing sandals. Just about 50 m from my final destination in jail I was intercepted by the deputy superintendent of the slammer and ordered to leave: "This is a workplace! Enclosed footwear is compulsory."
I was very annoyed but grateful to have a funny story to tell. So I share the story with my daughter. A few days later I visited a French warship with her. We were offered a guided tour. Suddenly my daughter stopped and pointed at a chart with the different uniforms of the sailors. One outfit included sandals.

Socks with sandals has been a question since I was young. Grew up in the southern US but now live in Vancouver, BC Canada. My feet dry out quickly and I hate to get my feet all dirty so quite often I wear ankle socks. It is also cool here year-round in the evenings so it is practical. Never wear socks on the beach and never wear full socks that go up the calf, that is the line in the sand!

I'm the last person to judge on fashion. Some people might be trying to avoid a blister or are covering a wound, or simply have cold feet, but like the feel of sandals. I'd rather a person be comfortable whether passing for a fashionista or not.

Well, I'm the last one that's going to tell someone what to wear or not. Doesn't mean I'm not silently judging your life choices.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White or black socks with sandals...nope...

Colorful happy colored socks wih sandals....maybe

Really don't care...depends...some people can pull it off and others can't...

Nobody can pull that off. It is like bicycle helmets, nobody living or dead looks cool in either one.

I just bought new socks and undies. I like my socks and my knickers but they are for me only. I think my feet are ok but I live in England, its too cold for sandals. Boots for me.

I wear sandals to avoid socks.

Its the sandals that offend me...not the socks. But other than that, use socks to cover your god awful toenail fungus and vericose veins. 🙂 As if I had any fashion sense whatsoever...I dress like Humpty Dumpty.

I follow a fashion: mine one.

I've seen it my whole life.
Being as how I don't give a shit about fashion, faux pas, or trends, it doesn't
matter to me what other people wear.
If I don't like something, I don't look at it.

Here is how I wear mine:

Definitely not anything new here in Florida. That's traditional winter footwear.

The ancient Romans conquered the know world wearing socks with sandals, who am I to argue.

Doesn't bother me. I'm sure the Ancient Egyptians did it, hang about they didn't have socks! 🙂
