Do you wear socks with your sandals?

[Costas2008]

I always do.

I find it more comfortable and hygienic.

Especially in Thailand where you have to take your sandals off when you go to a house.

Also my feet don't pick up all the dirt of the road.

Don't know why people find it "not trendy", but I can't go out or walk around the house without socks.

What about you?

Do you wear socks and sandals?

[colinneil]

No Costas i do not wear socks or sandals.

[Costas2008]

The only time I wear socks here is when I go for a run.

[Oceanbat]

No.

OB

[NoshowJones]

I wear socks with my sandals or sometimes trainers, when I am in Bangkok or Pattaya, every time I go out at night, I keep about 1000 Bt down them to foil those

ladyboy pickpockets, or any other pick pockets.

Only times I lace up shoes is when I lace up cleats to play ball a couple of times a week or when formal wear needed - almost never....But I have noticed that after all the years of wearing dress shoes for work my feet are hurting more without shoes/socks......after wearing the cleats my feet and legs feel better.....so - no I do not wear socks with my sandals as it looks stupid and never would in public - but in practical application I've wondered if it would be beneficial at home....in the interim have been wearing slip ons indoors and it does seem to make a difference......

Costas - you'll be in Pattaya soon and whatever foot wise makes you happy will be available in wide variety......these feet were made for _____________ apologies to Nancy Sinatra.....

No. I don't wear socks. Just chucks.

"Wearing socks with sandals is a controversial fashion combination and social phenomenon that is discussed in various countries and cultures. It is sometimes considered a fashion faux pas."

It is great not to have to wear socks in Thailand.....But I do only if necessary on a chilly Winter Esaan evening. At this time of year I always carry socks in my bag in case I need them. No more (smelly) sweaty feet or socks; No more athletes foot: No more fungal toenail infection, which has cleared up after ineffective treatment on and off for 20 years!!!

[Ayutthaya11]

I don't. You can but it just doesn't look right

[berybert]

Its not trendy to wear socks with sandals.

You are 50/60/70 do you even remember what trendy means ?

Get with the times granddad.

[Jingthing]

I don't but the public probably wouldn't mind.

Feet ain't so pretty!

[balo]

I wear socks with shoes, not sandals. I prefer to wear comfortable shoes with socks if I am inside the malls or have to visit Bangkok or walk a lot. But elsewhere sandals only .

No, but your socks do, plus they would get sodden during the rains or if you trek though sewers in your wanderings. Bare feet (in sandals) can be wiped or rinsed off in a worst case scenario before entering the house. Socks would just smear it around or release the encapsulated odor of your feet and the sheep who sacrificed it's coat to make your Argyles ... no matter how trendy the salesman told you that you'd look.

You are so yesterdays news guys - apart from Costas

No problem if you are capable buying socks that go with sandals

They are out there

I tend to go for bright stripes on pastel colour base

Radiates confidence

[thehelmsman]

No, Never.... Let the feet breathe..I wear flip flops everywhere except when dress shoes are called for, which is seldom.

I believe the decent thing to do would have been to seek permission before you posted my Facebook profile pic in the forum.

Mods can you intervene here please.

[realenglish1]

If I dress up a bit I wear socks with my scandals if I am dressing down then no socks .

[Carib]

I always wear a combination of sock and shoe

[jacko45k]

Good grief no!

Perish the thought.

[Crazy chef 1]

i even wear them in bed...why do you think i got a son and not a daughter???

[uptheos]

No Costas i do not wear socks or sandals.

Happy Easter.

Nothing wrong at all

[pgrahmm]

I do have a few pair of dress sandals + matching colored socks to be worn with long pants/slacks/beach casual pants....always pack them....very seldom actually wear them......

[SoiBiker]

What are 'dress sandals'?

Do they have heels?

[noikrit]

No ... never ....

[lazygourmet]

Best of both worlds...

[Saan]

Now this is a really interesting topic. Costa has surpassed himself this time with this banal enquiry. Still it earns him another number to his posting tally.

[lumply]

No, never with sandals and definitely not with flip flops, which should only be seen on the beach and around the pool.

[yardrunner]

I am not bothered about fashion but like to be comfortable so if I am walking in the market in the evening I wear socks with sandals which deters the mosquitos
