Who puts on shoes right after putting on socks in the first place?

[–] somewhiteguy@reddthat.com 19 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

People who are putting on socks and shoes to be presentable outside of their house and have been barefoot or in sandals up to this point.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 points 18 hours ago

yeah but I don't keep my socks by the door where my shoes are, they're in my bedroom. so I put them on in my bedroom instead of carry them to the door

People who don’t live in the cold?

Heh. Would blow their mind to see sock>sock>wool sock>wool sock>shoe>shoe.

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

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

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.

But when it’s not cold there’s no need for socks?

I always prefer socks. The only time I'm wearing sandles without socks is if its like wet out or something so the socks are gonna get messed up.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

The whole joy of flip flops and sandals for me is the arrival of warm weather and being able to eschew socks 😊

What? Germans notoriously love socks and sandals; lemmings too apparently…
