no socks, but not as sensory issue

socks just aren't practical or useful. they make walking on some floors annoying, and since I go outside in sandals/slippers (this is my sensory issue, normal shoes are never comfortable) I'd have to take them off and on frequently. I don't need the warmth where I live.

Avoid at all costs, literally

I wear sandals year round

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

If they're thick enough and the nails are small enough.

My carpet came up off the board once and exposed little nails used to pin it down. Didn't realize until I walked over it barefoot.

And now I've got the feeling of nails in my feet haunting me whenever I'm not wearing socks.

I choose to believe in sock armor

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.

[–] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 days 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

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 3 points 5 days 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.

Do not remind me that socks exist

"Can't fucking decide" sensory issues

I fucking hate wearing socks but ever since I got COVID my feet are always cold, so now I wear socks and still hate it.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Socks with shoes 100%, flip flops/thongs/sandals 0%

[–] TheEntity@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Both. If I somehow get forced into the other socks mode, I must stay in it at all costs.

[–] BenVimes@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Both, kinda. I want to wear socks all the time but I can't stop myself from picking at them so they get holes within a few days. And I have sweaty feet so I always get lint stick between my toes, never found any sock that doesn't do that. So even though I want to wear them all the time there are enough annoyances from them to make me only wear them when I go to somewhere other than my apartment where I'll take my shoes off, like a friends place.

I have unexplainable discomfort if I'm not wearing socks. The only other person I've known to experience that is my mom, and we are both adhd.

[–] neomachino@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Socks at all times. The plain black ones that end right above the ankle and I change them about 3 times a day even if I've spent all day sitting at my desk.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 5 days 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.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 4 points 6 days ago

I'm a recovering indoor shoe wearer, so socks are like my harm reduction. But I'm trying to wear them (and shoes) less in the house, because I believe it's better in the long term for your feet and back muscles. At least it feels like more work to me, and so it's probably good for me.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago

Wear socks all the time except in bed, unless feet are icey.

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

Socks are oppression from society.

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

[–] a_party_german@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Socks are the yardstick of civilization and must be worn as often as possible.

All the important philosophers agree on this btw.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

~~If~~ When I'm not wearing socks I get foot cramps.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

I can’t do work without slippers on.

If I’m just sitting at my desk in socks my brain does not connect.
