Socks and sandals?

Archive: 24 posts


Honestly, what is wrong with them?

It is one of the many many many questions I go wonder about (besides what would be the coolest yoghurt flavour ever and how a frogs perspective would be up from the clouds).. How did this social kind of standard appear? What is the meaning of it? Why do people so terribly hate socks and sandals worn at the same time? The only explanation is that it looks ugly and that is not a a very solid one.
Myself I can't really see what is so uncool with it, though I do not really wear it. A great looking protagonist could be made in a manga series wearing socks, sandals, long and baggy trousers, jacket and a hat which looks like a panda. Yay!

So really, I do not get it... Why do people think it is ugly?

Did you wandered in the Norway woods and ate some magic troll mushroom?
Socks and sandals are inconsistency made grossness, and they're ugly.
Stop, close thread and move on

Because when you wear socks'n sandals, the cloth forms a slingshot between your two toes, and that is a bit annoying.
Also because it looks ugly.

Well, the point of sandals are to let your feet breathe more, and putting socks on defeats the purpose.2011-01-24 22:37:00

I do not like the kind of sandals which has the little fastening think in between the toes, I only like the one which are connected on the sides


@Omegaslayer:
Actually that was magic troll soup, and it tasted very good (though I have had an extra pair of arms ever since and they are becoming quite... handy Lol, lame pun (that was the 3rd arm) (and that was the 4th) wrote 3. Yeah, they also have a mind on their own.

There was a recent archealogical discovery (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/7964516/Romans-wore-socks-with-sandals-new-British-dig-suggests.html)that showed that the Romans (famous Sandal wearers) also wore them with socks.

There is a historical precedent!

That is exactly the reason why the Roman Empire collapsed!

Yup, nothing to do with the rebellious Scots/Picts, or the over-stretched military spreading itself too thinly across too wide an empire.
No, they were ashamed to leave the villa in case people laughed at them for their fashion faux pas

If you've ever seen someone with ingrowing toenails wearing sandals - you would beg them to wear socks

Or suck it up and wear proper shoes.

Or everyone could stop being fashion nazi's and let people wear what-ever they like, without judging them.

.... Nah, that's never going to happen

I agree, let people wear anything!

We can make a game out of it, wear just a speedo to the park and see how long until you start scaring children!


Life would be so much easier if clothes weren't normal to wear..

then you wouldn't care if they wear anything, you'd be too used to seeing people not wear anything.
