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

[–] dorumon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month 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.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month 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'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.

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

"Can't fucking decide" sensory issues

"I'd rather wear crocs indoors" sensory issues

Do not remind me that socks exist

[–] nanoswarm9k@lemmus.org 3 points 1 month ago

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.

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

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 3 points 1 month 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.

[–] neomachino@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month 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.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I can’t do work without slippers on.

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

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.

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

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.

[–] hayvan@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

I somehow have both issues.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

I used to sleep with socks on, so there's your answer. Unwashed, smelly socks.

[–] elevenbones@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Depends on the season. Flip-flops all summer, boots (with socks) all winter.

[–] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Socks please, I have cats, cats track litter and I hate their cute little faces

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm the exact opposite. I hate having my socks dirty and covered in hair. I'd rather wash it off my feet because I find it easier. 😅

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

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

Socks are oppression from society.

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

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month 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.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sock, but bigger socks or booties over those to keep them clean. My house is clean. Idk why I’m like this.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I love socks, but nowadays any sock size over 44-45 is 44-45. Buy "large socks" 47? Still 44-45. 52? Believe it or not, still 44-45.

I'm like 45-46 and it sucks. God I'd love a pair of thick beautiful socks.

[–] sicarius@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Knit your own!
I recently took up knitting and knitted my first pair of socks for a friend. She loves them.
Never fucking again! What a pain! Literally, I kept tapping myself in the stomach with the double pointed needles.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ha ha you're selling it badly 😁 but I'll remember it if I become too desperate...

Nice work BTW.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

While they are a US brand and are very likely out of the question for the foreseeable future, Darn Tough does those larger sizes. So, they are out there. Just need to find an non-US brand.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

If anyone know a European version I'm all for it, but you see even here they sell 46-49, I mean 46 would be maybe a little tight, 49 I would swim in them!

The "normal" size gets 41-42 though, only 2 "steps".

Thanks though! The search goes on...
