No socks with shoes

Why don't you take some geritol and watch Lucy, OP. That should calm you down.

I only wear socks when I have to. I'm 62. I find "no socks" perfectly comfortable, and my feet smell much more after I take off a pair of socks than when I'm not wearing them.

The things some people find to cuntplain about.

Those of us who lived through the 80s when topsiders with no socks were the fashion can confirm that sockless feet STINK.

No socks with dress shoes looks dumber than douchebag dumb.

Shoes with no socks almost always looks sexy as hell. Some nice slim or skinny fit jeans or chinos, maybe rolled slightly at the bottom, paired with some Vans Eras. Fucking so hot.

Sperry Topsiders -- always sockless. Wear the tiny super-low no-show socks if you must, but keep those ankles bare!

The stink is a turn-on as well, as long as the guy who's stinking is sexy overall.

The only shoes I wear without socks are loafers, Topsiders, and sandals.

I have a friend who wears socks with Birkenstocks. Talk about douchey.

[quote]The stink is a turn-on as well, as long as the guy who's stinking is sexy overall.

Ewwwwwwwwww...

Who doesn't wear shoes with no socks sometimes? Topsiders. Deck shoes. Loafers. Let me phrase it differently? Who WEARS socks all the time? Douchey dorks, that's who.

Not that I'm really touchy about not wearing socks sometimes or anything!!!

No socks was a fashion in the 60's, nothing new here.

And the 80s, R10.

"No socks" has never gone out of fashion.

I prefer to wear shoes without socks than socks without shoes

To clean the insides of your shoes and prevent odors, get a bottle of Pawls Boutique Urine Remover from the dollar store. It has enzymes to break down body fluids, including sweat. It has a high percentage of hydrogen perioxide which disinfects as well. Spray, wipe and let dry for a day or two near a air outlet from the heating system.

It works GREAT as a laundry pre-spotter as well... removes blood and protein stains better than Shout and the similar products sold for that.

I have used these.

Not hipsters. Yuppies.

Josh Hartnett seems to like to do.

That guy on Fashion Police always wears dress shoes without socks. Looks gross.

"No socks with shoes?"

Shouldn't it be "shoes with no socks?"

I always wear socks with shoes. Especially my Birkenstocks.

.

Disgusting.

Sexy

It's the only way I wear my converse and shorts and I admit, they reak. But I look adorable!

I think t looks cool as fuck. Of course it has nothing to do with hipster style to me. That's what the attractive well to do men in FL have worn since I was a kid.

It looks good but you have to take a shower after you take your shoes off. It's too much work. I hate showering at night and just want to go to bed but I can't if I do this look.

....

...

Women stopped wearing stockings years ago. Why should men still wear socks?

r29 Women wore hose to make their legs look better. Men wear socks to keep their keep their feet drier.

They do it to be "different," until everyone else does it. Same for piercings and tatts

Great advice, [14]. Going to try it!

Not after Miami Vice.

I have worn socks my whole life, usually fine wool or cotton because my feet sweat a lot. Well.... I just started wearing some of my shoes without socks, and to my amazement my feet seem to sweat less. I buy my shoes about 1/2 size larger and use washable insoles. I do dust my feet with powder, and just a little inside my shoes.

What R1 said.

....

Soupy Sales never wore socks with shoes.

Some people want to do something "different" to be unique. Suddenly everyone is doing the same thing (nose rings, tatts) now they're just which one of the crowd.

When we couldn't find hosiery with a seam, we'd draw a line up the back of our legs with mascara pencil.

....

Yes!

..

I haven't worn socks in months.

...

.....

I get the shorts and no socks thing but it just looks awful with long trousers, especially a formal suit.

If I don't wear socks, my shoes get disgustingly gross. Socks keep your feet clean and protected, and add an absorption.

Socks rub my feet the wrong way, R47. I've never enjoyed wearing them. My feet get sore and smelly, no matter what kind of sock, what material, etc.

.....

...

"Socks rub my feet the wrong way, R47. I've never enjoyed wearing them. My feet get sore and smelly, no matter what kind of sock, what material, etc."

Don't you get blisters from the shoes rubbing your bare feet?

...

[QUOTE]It must be unhygienic

WHY? DO YOU SHARE YOUR SHOES WITH OTHERS?

ooops, sorry about the CAPS!

Um

......

The 250,000 pores on the soles of your feet secrete nearly 1/4th of a cup of sweat every day.

Anybody that wears shoes without socks is gross.

Yum!

Looks fine with casual clothing. I don't think it looks right with a suit etc. Also, I know darn well that feet are more likely to STINK if you're not wearing socks.

p.s. What's with the current look in magazines where the models look like they're wearing suits that a full size too small ? Stupid looking.

...

.......

It's very faggy looking to me. Insufferable, and not very comfortable looking either.

......

There are ankle socks, so people might be wearing socks, but you can't see it.

Shoes (loafers, deck, or whatever) and no socks has been going on since the 1980's if not before. You'd see almost nothing but in the bars that catered to WASP/preppy gays (and those that were pretending to be) such as Uncle Charlie's.

Walk around the UES of Manhattan and it is almost de rigueur for both gay and straight males.

Umm

Socks should be worn with shoes. I think wearing shoes without socks is very unhygienic and I don't like that look at all.

I also hated the fashion of about 15-20 years ago of wearing socks with sandals or socks with flip-flops.

...

I ruined many shoes by not wearing socks. But like said earlier, they might be wearing ankle/low rise socks that you can't see.

This was a common practice during the mid-1980's.

..

The guys in the pictures in this thread would look great no matter what they ware, probably even if they wore nothing!

This is impractical if you visit someone's house and take your shoes. You would have to be barefoot. How embarrassing.

Josh Hartnett is so fucking hot in that picture that it is ridiculous.

What R62 said. It shouts dirty and lazy, and there's nothing attractive about it. Many people don't take care of their feet or their skin and it's just nasty to look at. And when somebody is nicely dressed, and doesn't wear socks, it's just stupid looking.

It looks so GAY. If your still hiding in the closet, you might want to reconsider your fashion statement, and keep those socks on.

If you don't believe me, just ask any of the women in your workplace.

R68 is a touch too feminine for my taste. Why do some gays want to look girlie?

It's disgusting, not to mention the smell. Man invented socks for a reason.

He looks SO "girlie" in the pants, R77. I mirror your disgust.

I recently made a discovery. If you use crystal deodorant on your feet before putting them in your shoes, your feet won't stink at the end of the day (even if you don't wear socks). The key is to shower, then apply the crystal deodorant to your clean feet before putting on your shoes. It inhibits the bacteria that caused the smelliness. It may take several days of doing it before it really becomes effective, so give it time. The spray is probably the easiest to work with, but I use the solid most of the time--both are equally effective.

........

Saw a guy wearing men's leather dress shoes, sockless with shorts yesterday. He looked like an asshole. How is that comfortable?

They like extra stinky shoes. I think it's disgusting.

Also when I was a kid you could not try on shoes if you had no sock on. Stores would give out these things called Peds if the person were barefoot. These day they let anyone stick stinky, diseased, bare feet into shoes that someone else may have to buy and wear.

.........

.....

May people do wear the no-show socks.

............

I think in the 80s it was called The Sock Controversy.

Socks with sandals or flip flops is about as disgusting as it gets.

And if you are above a certain age(32?) you should never wear sandals or flip flops in public and never go without socks.

Nobody wants to see your mis-colored veiny ankles.

.......

You can look like a hick if you're wearing dress pants and shoes w/out socks or worse white athletic socks. Shoes like topsiders or loafers worn with shorts or casual pants without socks are fine.

.........

.........

Dumb FUCK...they are called loafer SOCKS that you do NOT see...Jeezeeeeeeeeee OMG LOL I wear them all the time so does 1/2 of NYC!

They are called sissy socks here in TEXAS!

R4 Are you thinking about Ryan Serhant?

Flip flops with socks are a difficult combo because that tab thing doesn't stay between your toes.

.......

.....

I like the look but most people will have stinky feet. On two occasions I have told people whom I was eating with that their feet, and they were wearing sandals in summer. If you have a good sense of smell you can notice it and while eating with the odor trapped under the table and wafting in my direction it was sickening.

...........

............

.....

......

I wore no socks with my shoes & suit today as did every other guy in NYC but I looked sharp!

I like the no socks look, as long as it's summertime.

[quote] I like the no socks look, as long as it's summertime.

True, I am 42 and it seems as if everybody does it in NYC but only June-August

I love the loafers/no socks look, especially when Scott Disick does it.

bump

I hate socks. I wear them as infrequently as possible. And fuck you if don't like it. I choose my feet outfits for me, you pretentious cunts.

............

I think wearing no socks is disgusting! I have always wore socks with my shoes and if it's not considered fashionably "IN" I don't care.I used to constantly watch what was in and try to keep up with everything. When I was a teenager to my early 20s,I would wear super trendy clothes from Norstrom and Macy's and spend around 100 dollars a shirt ,and at the end of the year I would give my clothes to Goodwill because that was last year's look. It was nuts. I did love my clothes and I felt great ,but now I dress more for me, and I try to always look casual nice and well groomed. I never ever go anywhere without looking casual nice. However, the one thing I never have and I never will do is wear a T-shirt anywhere else but around my home. I like to look good ,and again,most importantly I dress for me. BTW, you don't have to spend a lot to look super you just have learn how to put things together. Hey if it looks good on you, great, if it doesn't look good on you, don't wear it. Just because it's "IN" doesn't mean one look is good for all. Fashion dictators want you to believe otherwise.

BTW, women not wearing pantyhose is just as disgusting and super tacky. Also, pantyhose makes lady's legs look great and their attire looks complete or finished when they wear pantyhose. I think it's completely gross they wear their shoes barefooted. A poster up above mentioned that people try shoes on now without socks and /or pantyhose, which is hygienically repulsive. Another person trying the same pair of shoes can get athlete's foot, bacteria, etc. I'm surprised the stores allow people to do that. I used to work at Ross department store and my manager always enforced the rule that their feet must be covered.

BTW, what is the look now with teenagers wearing long black socks with shorts? I see so many teenage guys on the street wearing that look.

.............

Hey R113! you forgot to use the word ME in your sentence judgmental dumass!

I think your grammar is disgusting, moron. It makes/ want to wipe my always sockless feet in your mouth.

It feels better. I hate socks. I wear them only with dress pants. Mostly I wear Topsiders.

Are "fashion hipsters" different from regular hipsters? Also, hipsters wear lots of funny socks.

I did it in my teens and early 20's when I was very slim (and good looking). I'm tall. People found it super sexy. It felt good because there was no weight on my feet, being young and light, and I had lux shoes, completely leather. They feel great on bare feet. Also no, it doesn't smell, if the shoes are high quality and not worn everyday. I would say its a a bit silly on anyone over 25.

I admit I did not read all the responses. There is such a thing as a "sock" that covers your toes, goes under your foot and hooks around your heel, giving you the benefit of a sock without the appearance of a sock.

Somebody go on Tommy Didario's blog and ask him how he feels about about wearing shoes and no socks. He give us a definitive answer.

I guess it's no use complaining that most of the guys in the pictures look like they're wearing the jackets they wore for their confirmation, size-wise.

Yeah, when is too small going to end. Its awful on mostly everyone.

Very Hot

........

He's hot r125 wouldn't care if he wore socks or not.

Men showing some ankle is hot.

I'd like to see more sockless pictures of the guy @ r125.

......

.......

duh. ... Sole Huggers for men.

Hot!

The actor Jonathan Bennett who was in Mean Girls, and who is the host on Cake Wars on the FoodNetwork, who is gay, and super hot! supposedly has the most smelliest feet around. Someone said on IMBD.com Jonathan took his shoes off when he was on an air plain and his feet smelled so bad that the smell reached a large part of the plain and passengers were getting grossed out. The stewardess had to asked him to please put his shoes on and some socks.

When he went to college his dorm voted him to have the smelliest feet around.

....,

Who is that? Chris Evans?

I prefer the other way round.

I thought this look went out with "Miami Vice." The 'hipsters' need to invent something original. Oh wait, I don't think that's possible.

Oh come on, you all know you laugh just a little when you see some hipster in dress shoes and no socks.

Something heard never " OMG he is wearing socks with those dress shoes, how lame."

Hot Guy in R134 looks like he has black ankle socks on.

That is a hot guy @R134

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Yeah, I'd like to hunt down the first guy who thought this sockless look with dress shoes was a good idea and throttle him! Can anyone honestly say that looking at pale bony ankles down there is a good thing?

There is almost no better way in the world to advertise, "Hey, look at me, I am a big pretentious pussy!"

......

In the late 60s the entire hippie population walked around barefoot. You have no idea how shocked and disgusted the older generations were; they would spit at the hippies as they walked by.

Shoes and no socks is a classic on prep and college campuses for decades. It can be sexy on young men up to a certain age, say 25 or so. I did it all the time in college and going out dancing too. With high quality leather shoes, with leather soles, it feels great.

The man in R144 is a bit old for the look but OK i still say its fine. His jeans are ridiculous, however.

I'm not a fashion hipster, and I don't wear socks unless it's absolutely necessary.

[quote]the most smelliest feet around.

Usually it's the shoes, dear.

......No show socks OP, it's that simple....perfectly hygienic.

......

Any of you fashionistas know who designed that patchwork jacket at R151? The site itself isn't much help. Thanks!

r152 the jacket is a David Hart jacket

Thanks, R153! Haven't seen his work before.

David Hart's jackets are incredible. Check out this green number that I crave.

That's a nice jacket r155

So many pictures posted in this thread and almost all of them are of men in suits and dress shoes with no socks. Ugh.

The reality is that yes, that look is queer and secondly the vast majority of sockless people are young men, either "hipsters", if anyone can accurately be called that anymore, or skaters. Or they're just preppies in boat shoes.

I am none of the above but I frequently wear shoes without socks. It just looks good. I'm 36 and my feet and ankles are sexy and not gross—no discolored veins. (Seriously, you're going to complain about seeing a man's ANKLES? Fuckin MARYs. Get a grip or get lost.)

Sure, they smell like ASS when I take off my Vans, but I'm into that and I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of it.

.......

See, now THAT is sexy at R158. I hope they were nice and smelly when he took them off.

Agreed r159

Only a fat man with cankles would start a thread like this. He's most likely a 60-something bloated alcoholic. He's jealous and people throw trash at him in public.

R161 exactly the oldies are jealous that we can pull it off and they can't or just won't do it

DAE have toenail fungus?

I love stinky feet

.......

I think it's cool with boat shoes or tennies, but it just looks silly with with leather shoes-and it will ruin them in short order.

Back in the 80s, thanks to that Don Johnson shitfest, I had to endure all those sockless Capezio jockeys laughing at their own jokes, flashing their business math calculators, and driving automobiles that weren't much more than monuments to epic bad taste. So glad I left busines school for a sane profession-I'd have gone postal on those fuckers eventually.

R161 has obviously never had the pleasure eating a meal while being treated to the sight of a collection of "casually dressed" diners, all with grimy ankles and filthy toes. Cover it the fuck up, you dirty hippies!

R166, while I share your loathing for finance douchebags, that photo you've offered is just an athlete who got some mud on his calves. He's wearing socks. Not the same thing! It could happen to anyone, and who's to say he would go into a restaurant like that?

I've said it before: as long as the guy is hot, I LOVE stinky feet. Going sockless facilitates this. I love seeing the extra inches of ankle that one can see when a man isn't wearing socks. So risqué! It helps you imagine intimacy with the guy—getting close enough to smell that he hasn't washed in a while. Major turn-on.

.......

R157 At least you're honest about the smell. lol Now post a photo of your "sexy ankles."

......

it look as if these dudes are wearing no socks but most are

this dude is probably wearing loafer socks

There are such a things as no-show socks these days, so you can have the no sock look without the associated problem. But is that considered gauche among the hip and trendy.

R173 no I wear them during the summer months late May >September...they are also called loafer socks

Whenever I wear shoes with no socks when I pull my foot out of the shoe the bottom foam insert comes out with it. Then I have to put it back in the shoe and make sure its not bunched up. It's annoying. So I wear socks.

Back in the early 90's I wore these shoes called "eastlands", no one ever wore socks with them." The sloppy and rattier the "eastlands' looked was considered better. B.U.M. equipment and Champion sweat shirts were in. The girls had big hairspray bangs that stood straight up. You were considered to be the ultimate dork if you wore socks with sandals. I consider shoes with no socks to be kind of a 90's throwback look. It was kind of a preppy style.

........

.....

I no longer have to wear dress shoes, so I only wear socks when I put sneakers on. Can't imagine why anyone would want to wear socks for one minute longer than necessary.

No earrings

No caftans

no socks with shoes...it the season now to do that in the north east...especially in NYC everyone is doing it and I personally love it!

Hot!

You guys are going on and on and about "no socks".... you do realize that socks are indeed worn with this look but they're socks that are cut low and not visible over the shoe.

I'm in Italy where men are absolutely paranoid about cleanliness. Shoes are worn with a removable insole that can be washed and dried. Plus sprays for the inside of the shoe are used. Socks are worn...but they're cut low...it only looks like men are wearing no socks but they are wearing them..

Way to be a Debbie Downer r204

R206 David is wearing socks...you really think he's going to go around in sweaty sneakers? Victoria would never put up with it.

And besides the low-cut socks, Dave surely has these in his Adidas':

It's the very definition of pretentious – like those pathetic losers who used to wear their watches on their cuffs in imitation of Agnelli.

But it's very helpful. Like twats who wear baseball hats on back to front, it immediately flags the individual as a moron, so you don't need to waste time engaging with them.

Why must you ruin the fantasy r207

R209 Not all of us are into smelly guys.

I just think it's funny some of you who are talking about how the look makes you're feet smell and ruins shoes.

try it old farts

These people want to draw attention by being "special," but since it's now the rage,no one pays them any mind.

That may be the dumbest thing anyone says on DL all week, R222. I don't wear socks because I don't like to wear socks, so I don't wear them unless I have to. It has nothing to do with anyone else in the universe. I hope you're not in a job where you're paid to express your opinions.

R222 el stupido moron

Going "No Socks" is fine, outside the 9-5 corporate world.

Socks have their very own dedicated set of Mary!s. Who'd have guessed?

Is there a patron saint, too--say, Santa Maria de los Calcetines?

Love Vans with no socks. I wore my boyfriend's yesterday, all day, and when I came home last night and we were watching the DNC, he told me I had to take a shower, that my feet were a health hazard. I just laughed. (He doesn't wear socks in the summer, either.)

Ha, ha, looks at the twinks twisting in the wind when called out about their ridiculous obsession with fads like not wearing socks. You are just followers not trend setters little boys.

No amount of hot guys in pics is going to change that fact. And truth be told, unless you have unlimited funds, your shoes will wear out twice as fast from the sweat and oils on your feet. No they do not keep you cooler, that's what breathable socks do, they absorb the sweat or wick it away with new natural designed for sports clothes. Your feet will smell because the heat and moister will create fungus that you feed over and over every time you put on the shoe. Socks prevent the this from happening because you change them every day.

Its like trying to argue going commando in pants is more comfortable and cool except you wear the same pants for 2 years without washing them.

WTH r258?

.............

What the fuck is r258 babbling about?

.......

So wear socks, asshole r258. No skin off my heels. Wear two pair, Cuntwell.

I dont want to smell your stinky feet from shoes that never get washed R263. No amount of powder is going to cover up 2 years of sweat and foot fungus on a hot summer day. Besides, you look ridiculous. I know you think you are hip and cool but you are really just a fashion wannabe version of Lucy with trash can and a potato sack.

As long as your sockless feet are clean when you put them in your shoes--no stink!!! That's the key.

[quote]As long as your sockless feet are clean when you put them in your shoes--no stink!!

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Your feet have the largest concentration of sweat glands on your entire body. Bacterial is what makes them smell. When you sweat its food for the bacterial along with the warm moist dark environment of the shoe. Once a bacterial culture starts to grow, it multiply exponentially. Taking your shoes off dose not kill the Petri Dish you walking in all day.

This is in an office, sorry but if I saw you dressed like that I would not be investing millions of dollars with your company.

Just say no.

Douches love going sockless.

All the cool guys are doing it.

Most of the guys on Finding Prince Charming didn't wear socks. Whenever I see someone not wearing socks i think their feet must stink.

Stinking feet are very hot. I love it when I smell a pungent odor coming from a hot guy. It makes me feel like I'm having an intimate moment with him.

Farts are excluded from this, however. Yuck.

Wow, how have I missed this thread thus far? Speaking as a "young" (by DL standards, e.g. under 40) urbanite whose male friends, both gay *and* straight, dress well but rarely wear visible socks during warm-weather months:

1. Most of us *are* wearing socks: the low-cut variety that are usually invisible if worn correctly. We are not idiots: we realize shoes start to smell *very* quickly if there's no barrier between foot and shoe, plus socks are a necessity if one's shoes are relatively new, stiff and not yet fully broken in, unless you're a masochist who likes blistered ankles rubbed raw.

2. I can only assume the caftan-wearing queens turning up their nose at the concept have never visited Italy, where it has long been customary for men to go sockless (or at least appear so) in the summertime. But sure, feel free to criticize the most fashionable country on Earth for menswear as you use your Cheeto-crusted fingers to type and whine like a bunch of old ninnies.

3. The *actual* "hipster style" with respect to socks -- and, clearly, no one on DL knows anyone inside that demographic -- is to wear obnoxiously high tube socks, ones that cover all or nearly all of the calf. And yes, I'm talking about guys, not women (though they do it, too).

I go sock-free but only with long pants 👖. Got skinny ankles. I spray my shoes with Odor Eater.

r25 years back Rush Limbaugh did a TV interview from his Florida mansion dressed in a pink shirt with dress shoes/no socks.

It looked stinky.

Stinky is good if the sockless are hot, which Limbaugh is not.

It also depends upon the quality of the shoes - if leather lined, and not man made, synthetic, they are less likely to become whiffy.

Most of the no socks scenarios you all have approved of are fine. Especially with shorts or jeans and casual shoes, who cares?

The trend, if it still alive, of skipping socks in the professional workplace, let alone with a business suit( crazy, usually) is ridiculous. It can also get people in trouble, as I have seen happen to hipster colleagues. People with power over you might not want to see men's ankles, let alone feel unhip for wearing socks in the workplace as has been done for a century.

Who gives a shit?

R247, looks like Debarge circa 1985. No that look is not hot.

Hot!

When you're going to Chris Martins 40th birthday party with a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme, no socks is just expected.

R349, the look is fine, and the guy is very hot. Only the shoes are wrong. He should be wearing Vans or some other kind of non-athletic sneaker.

Wear the no seeums.

There was just a thread about this a couple of months ago. I think it had a poll.

Anyway,the consensus was that socks are dead, just as ladies stockings are.

People who wear socks are either old or have no fashion sense.

[quote]wearing socks in the workplace as has been done for a century.

Who cares what's been done for a century? Socks are old-fashioned and look stupid.

To each his own, but in a professional setting, men should wear socks.

I agree OP. Shoes with no socks looks plain moronic and unhygienic.

I'm a big fan of the look AND the odor of not wearing socks with shoes, but only on other guys (sexy guys). I've been doing it myself for a few years and this year, I think I'm just about over it. Tired of the stench and having to wash my shoes in the washing machine and not being able to wear them until I wash them and let them air dry.

It's also just more difficult to get your feet clean in the shower after you've had them stuffed in filthy, stinking shoes loaded with dead cells and bacteria all day.

But if I come across a HOT guy who has stinky feet from not wearing socks, I will get a raging boner and fantasize about him rubbing his stinkfoot all over my face. Delicious.

[quote]I agree OP. Shoes with no socks looks plain moronic and unhygienic.

Better get used to it, sweetheart. Socks are history, just like ladies' stockings are. And it's not unhygienic at all.

I'm a huge proponent of this look, R366, but it is plainly unhygienic. It ruins your shoes and your feet will stink to high heaven. Like, room-filling stink.

I've been around a lot of guys without socks in the last few weeks, and I never smell anything.

All the skinny on nude feet!

Hawwwttt!

Matt

To each his own. I prefer socks when wearing pants. Besides, it's so hot to see the socks come off before sex....I have a foot fetish. Also, though I near wear them, flip flops are so hot on a gay with gorgeous feet.

[quote]I'm a huge proponent of this look, but it is plainly unhygienic.

Are your hygienic socks made of latex, or are they just magic?

Gorgeous!

A hot man, but sock less, with short trousers and odd shoes, not a great look. It looks like a costume. If anyone is interested, the suit is D&G.

November tomorrow in London (well everywhere, actually) and I'm still not wearing socks!

Love it!

[quote]It must be uncomfortable.

With the right shoes, Prissifer, it's more comfortable. Enjoy your wingtips.

Do you all wear socks with shoes in the summer? Even with shorts? Is foot powder not sold in your towns?

..........

.........

This thread is killing my bunions.

Feet have a smell, period. Some feet smell worse than others. Medical conditions also contribute to foot odor.

Non-leather shoes also contribute to foot odors.

People wear socks with closed shoes to keep feet dry and to have the odor contained. Cotton socks, of course, are the best.

I love smelling a super-hot guy's feet. Not when I put my face on them, but just when he's sitting there and they stink so bad that I can smell them. That is fucking hot. It's like a window into an intimacy when you don't expect it, or when it's maybe not even appropriate. Like seeing VPL, that sort of thing.

I've noticed over the past couple of years that there are now available tiny "no show" dress socks for men--not the thicker cotton athletic no show socks that have been around for like 20 years and seem to have past their time, but ones that are apparently meant to be worn with dress shoes to give the bare ankle look.

The racks at Marshall's are thick with them, which might mean they're not selling.

No sense in threads. Why do idiot posters post them?

Is English your second language, R387?!

Go back to your night school English classes. TIA.

Didn't this start as a Miami Vice thing? And guys are still doing it?

[quote]Didn't this start as a Miami Vice thing?

No. I've gone sock-free when the weather permits since the 1950s.

[quote]And guys are still doing it?

This guy is "still doing it."

Too funny, the model in the R390 photo is now an actor, Robert Scott Wilson. He's on "Days of Our Lives", he's the maniac who supposedly killed Will, Ben Weston.

It was fashionable even 30 years ago, and probably in the sixties too. I have no idea why. I like wearing socks.

Some guys have very nice ankles that they like to show off, is my guess. It's very sexual in a non-committal way.

[quote]Some shoes are not comfortable without socks.

Most shoes aren't. I don't wear those without socks. You know, just because I don't wear socks with some shoes doesn't mean I never wear socks.

[quote]Some guys have very nice ankles that they like to show off, is my guess. It's very sexual in a non-committal way.

It has nothing to do with showing off ankles. It's not sexual. It's about comfort. That is all.

Comfort ? I always like socks, even very thin socks on some shoes. My feet are way too sensitive to be paraded around naked!

Then wear your socks, Prissette. What are you even doing in this thread?

R394

R2, your feet stink because your socks weren't natural fiber probably. Polyester traps moisture, allowing bacteria to grow. Cotton, wool or silk are the way to go.

......

Definitely have to wear those "no-show" socks, but I like it when they show a bit, but stay well below the ankle, to show everyone you're careful not to be stinky.

R403 preaches from the pinnacle of prissitude.

This is still, 3+ years later, undoubtedly on OP's checklist of things to worry about.

It happens every day at 4 pm, after her half hour block of grocery store rages, including: Why are stupid people allowed to use self checkout? And: Who the fuck still writes a check?

She may come out for a drink tonight, but rest assured she will be making notes on who has socks and who does not. And you WILL be judged. Fear her withering gaze.

Why do you assume the men above aren't wearing socks?

The look was de rigueur in my junior and senior high schools '67-'73.

White cotton socks are comfy. I get scared of thinking about leather chafing my heels.

Sadly, socklessness weather eludes us once more. In April. IN FUCKING APRIL.

I would get constant blisters if I wore shoes with no socks.

I think it looks good in warm weather.

You develop callouses, R438. I only do it with Topsiders now, which never create blisters.

White socks with suit

People have been doing this for well over 50 years.

The last three posts make one thing clear: SOX SUK.

It's ironic that guys are now going sockless with pants, yet wearing crew socks with workout shorts. It used to be the other way around. I think it's a fetish thing in both cases.

Only trashy people don't wear socks.

And hipsters with no taste wear blue/black pants with brown shoes, because apparently they're too dumb to match or too poor to afford the right pair.

You can wear socks that are so low you dont see them.

From DL Fave

Mes talons et mes orteils sont une saleté de peau sèche dégoûtante. Ils sont revitalisés par le cuir et la sueur. Les chaussettes sont inutiles.

Unhygienic? Good grief, op sounds like a complete fool.

Socks were invented for winter time, you goddamn idiots.

It's better then the milk man look.Thick white socks and shoes.80s

Just spent a week in Manhattan, and was shocked to see most of the suits downtown going sockless with their expensive dress shoes. It just looks weird to me. Back in LA now with the shorts and black tube socks pulled all the way up paired with Nikes. Looks equally odd to me. To each his own.

That's the look on V beach in

How do you know the guys in these pics are wearing socks?

It looks geriatric.

The sarcasm ref was there before i edited my comment. It can be safely ignored.

Shoes on. No socks. Not going out today.

They have little sockets that go under your feet to prevent moisture and odor.

Sockless feet just stink. A LOT. All of you unhygienic queens yapping on about not wearing them all the time don't realize people can smell your rank feet. In college, I used to think I looked cute not wearing them but my feet and shoes stunk like hell. And they were always sweaty.

On that note, enough of all you old enough to drink in the 80s yapping on about topsiders and boat shoes sans socks being the trend back then. No one cares what a bunch of 50 and 60 years wore 3 decades ago.

This post is about attractive young urban men of 2019.

Topsiders are the least sexy look ever. It says frosted hair tips and no sex. Give me an old leather/levis gay from the 80s, not some prissy tanned dude with his sweater tied round his shoulders.

The things I do not care about, r490, are you, your ranting, or your footwear choices. Should you manage to die today, oh, well.

Yes, r491. Let's do leather. Here are your dinner bowl (L), and your toilet (R).

Topsiders scream Republican douche. Like Southern 20-somethings who wear navy blazers with khaki pants like their dads and grandfathers.

Ohhhh...more SJW bullshit. Now I get it. Thanks, r494.

Wearing sneakers or topsiders with no socks looks great and appropriate. What I don't like are dress shoes with no socks, especially with suits. That just looks douchebaggy to me.

R495 Oh Mary, calm down girl. I bet you rocked those sockless Topsiders in 1983 even though your feet stank.

No socks is only appropriate when a man's in shorts and leisure footwear. No socks & dress shoes with long pants looks idiotic and lowbrow.

Earlier than that, little justicina r497. Where did you get the idea Topsiders are an '80s exclusive?

I like the no socks with shoes trend. It's kind of sexy actually

Agree R500. Particularly with a slim cut suit and dress shoes. Not with formal wear. No socks with runners is not a trend, it's a common choice. Top siders are grandpa and young republican footwear. It says you have NO style.

Agree with the Topsiders but don't let Grandpa at R499 hear you because she is mad. She's also R495 thinking you are pushing your SJW agenda on a post about no socks with shoes. LOL at her touchy self. If my sweaty feet were all stinky like my Topsiders I'd be mad too.

As for the slim cut and dress shoes - just no. Looks too feminine to me - like the ballerina shoes and legging trend popular a while back. Perhaps fitness models can get away with it on Instagram, but just no for 98% of the men out there.

What about a man's ankle and pants and shoes are feminine? Crazy talk. Ballerina shoes and leggings make women look short, but that's up to them. A man without socks isn't feminine. Y'all wouldn't even notice if you didn't look. I don't fetishize bare ankles, especially not old white ones - but as a fashion choice it doesn't offend me.

.......

R503 It's not the ankles that's feminine. The dress shoes with no socks paired with slim and high cut pants looks feminine to me. All it conjures up for me are leggings and ballerina shoes. Or capri pants like my frumpy mom wears on vacation. Can't see past that.

it also doesn't help that where I am (SF) the only men who sport this look are shop bottoms on their way to work at Neiman Marcus or Bloomingales or whatever. Sashaying and slaying their way down the street, often with some sort of oversized handbag. Masculine guys, gay or straight, do not wear this here even in 2019.

Yeah, I am going off of a social construct of what a man should or should not be wearing, but that's me.
