now the summers here it's time to discuss that age old question with or without socks;)
i think chequered ones say it all [i am a fashion statement]
they give that look of elegance to the drabbest of footwear..
Without socks but plenty of sunscreen unless you want sunstroke.
Never ever ever EVER wear socks with sandals. Ever.
In fact I feel like banning you from the forum just for even asking it.

Any excuse just because the are no spammers to use the button:D:D:D
If you're not wearing long pants then whatever you have on your feet must NOT include socks.

I disagree
Bare foot as long as your feet are in good condition if they are not then wear socks :) not white and not those in your pics
I found a nasty pic on google images to illustrate my view however it was to nasty to post

And you're not wearing sandals in that shot? :confused:
Plenty of old guys wear socks with sandals, not really a good look.
I used to think flip flops on men was gross, now I think its a nice look!
Not nice though if you have got manky feet and toe nails!
Stick to socks then!

Yes.
Never ever wear socks with sandals. Ever. The fashion crime of eternity. The only possible exception would be for medical reasons but other than that - never.
I had some idiot who whore socks with sandles.
Oh yeah and a 3 piece suite

In the end anyone should be able to wear what they want as long as common decency is adhered and those who wish to force what they believe to be "fashion" need to be told where to go. Fashion and the fashion industry with their size 0 models forcing unobtainable images at people have a lot to answer for. If you want to wear socks with sandels then do it what other people think means nothing
Wearing sandals is okay providing it's in the right context, I.e. summer time when it's warm, with shorts and without socks.
Those who wear them at other times (especially men) look like tawts (anag).

No socks, please - we're British.

Socks with sandals can be forgiven for walkers, but only plain light colours and definitely not half way up the leg.
I have to endure a husband who will never wear sandals and who wears socks & trainers with shorts where the dark socks are half way up his huge white calf above slim ankles. :shocked:

Sorry but who are you to tell anyone that? maybe the person who has "disgusting feet" has a medical problem such as diabeties for all you know they could be on the road to recovery and shoes hurt to much so they decide to wear sandals and to stop "disgusting people" they wear thin cotton socks so they are comfortable and not upsetting anyone . Oh except the do not wear socks with sandels brigade.
No one and I mean no one tells me how to dress in my free time and the only time I will adhere to a code is when I go to wedding and funerals the rest of the time im casual
I can not see why so many people are actually posting like it matters ffs
Perhaps because it is (mostly) done in a light-hearted, let's not take it too seriously way........
You know you can build up a mental picture of people on here, and out of everyone here I think of Foreverwar as the type who would wear jesus creepers with knee high brown socks (no matter what he says). Just all fits too well. Scary. :erm: :shocked:

It depends. I rarely wear socks full stop ive always prefered being bare footed and if I am at home I will be as such. Sandals I do not own any as such I sometimes wear those croc type plastic things for slobbing around locally. I always wear socks with trainers though wether I am in shorts or not

Your spellchecker is correct
Asked the boss and she said never wear socks with sandals and guess what? i don't
lol! Long thread, i haven't read it all.
However, if you're wearing sandals then it's to keep your feet cool so wearing socks is silly, unnecessary and looks silly.
I never wear socks anyway, but if i'm wearing heels, which is rare i have to wear tights or something cos they rub and it hurts on bare feet. Blisters :td:
Backless sandals have no place with socks ever. :no:
A plea to anyone who has to wear socks with sandals for whatever reason, at least have heel straps.

Hyperthermia is being to cold, Sunstroke is caused by sunburn which I had on holiday 2 years ago when I burnt my lower legs that had no socks on without sunscreen and I got sunstroke, a never to repeated experience, plus it was in this country.
So sunscreen is essential as we tend to keep our legs covered all year till we go on holiday and wear shorts.
*Buzz!* wrong, no HypOthermia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia) is where your body's temperature drops below normal and cannot be maintained by the normal methods, Hyperthermia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthermia) (AKA Sunstroke, Heatstroke) is where your body's temperature raises too high and your body is unable to cope using its normal heat dissipation methods, you can get sunstroke regardless of whether you or wearing factor 3 million or not, wearing sunscreen will protect you against Sunburn, and I suppose in the long term, Skin Cancer, but nothing more, the only way to not get Sun-stroke/Hyperthermia/Heat-Stroke is to just not get too hot ;)

I burnt my legs by sitting in the sun for about an hour I ended up sick and shivering and was diagnosed by the hospital as having sunstroke by a doctor and treated for it.
I even ended up with my legs wrapped in cling film and daubed in a special cream to help the healing process.
Most people in this country never bear the legs for any long period so when they do as I did they should ensure a high factor suncream is used on their legs.
I go with the doctors diagnosis as it was not a self diagnosis.
Correcting me with links is of no consequence because it actually happened to me and I was relating my first hand experience.
Crocs with no socks... everyone should wear Crocs. End of.

I burnt my legs by sitting in the sun for about an hour I ended up sick and shivering and was diagnosed by the hospital as having sunstroke by a doctor and treated for it.
I even ended up with my legs wrapped in cling film and daubed in a special cream to help the healing process.
Most people in this country never bear the legs for any long period so when they do as I did they should ensure a high factor suncream is used on their legs.
I go with the doctors diagnosis as it was not a self diagnosis.
Correcting me with links is of no consequence because it actually happened to me and I was relating my first hand experience.
The links are valid though?
Its common to see mistakes when it comes to Hyper and Hypo when it comes to medicine hyper and hypo glycemia being common and hyper and hypo tension being another

Hyperthermia is being to cold, Sunstroke is caused by sunburn which I had on holiday 2 years ago when I burnt my lower legs that had no socks on without sunscreen and I got sunstroke, a never to repeated experience, plus it was in this country.
So sunscreen is essential as we tend to keep our legs covered all year till we go on holiday and wear shorts.
which is wrong hypothermia would have been correct
You yourself if you had sunstroke suffered from hyperthermia
I have moc-crocs, and they will 'do'. ;)
As for sandals with / without socks - if I see someone with socks I have to tell them off. Sorry, I don't care how old you are, married or not, etc. socks and sandals are just a huge NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
It looks hideous, and is probably unhygenic too?
No no no no NO!
Fake Crocs are just not as comfy as the real thing sorry. Some sites are doing a BOGOF on them over the summer... think if I were to get any more though my hubby may chuck me out of the house. ;)

don't your feet sweat more being in socks? Think of all that ick between the toes, especially if it's black socks, what if they're holey? Have they been worn more than one day? I don't want to see that! Put them away! :sick:

cotton socks ;) your feet will still sweat when pressed against plastic or leather naked or not
hmm, so I shall now point and enquire as to whether they are cotton... and then go 'eeeeeeeeeeew!' as I bet you most people's are not! :p:

now the summers here it's time to discuss that age old question with or without socks;)
i think chequered ones say it all [i am a fashion statement]
they give that look of elegance to the drabbest of footwear..
IMO you can get away with it with trousers on as long as there a named sandal, oh and you have a nice top and no holes in your socks!!

As I said the diagnosis from the doctor in the hospital is the only one I accept regardless of links provided, but thank you for seeking them out.

I go with the doctor so he must be ignorant as he provided the diagnosis:D
From a fashion perspective - unforgiveable :spin:

he would have said you were suffering from hyperthermia meaning your body temperature is to high ie sunstroke
I guess you misheard and thought he said hypothermia which is what happens when you get to cold
NHS link as good as a doctor isnt it?

We went to the local NHS hospital and saw a doctor in casualty.
I think sunstroke and hypothermia sound different some how and he only said sunstroke and the wife was with me at the time as well.;)
I am only repeating what he told me and considering the effect it had on me its not something I am likely to forget.:erm:
Regardless of how correct or incorrect the diagnosis he gave me was it is something I will never let myself in for again.:erm:

He did give you the correct diagnosis only he dumbed it down for the patient. Hyperthermia covers cases such as sunstroke caused by high temperatures and a rise in body temperature
He did give you the correct diagnosis only he dumbed it down for the patient.
So therefore I am going to post what he told me anyway regardless which negates the research you and graham did, which is appreciated by the way as they are quite interesting.

Just trying to add to your knowledge mate I am willing to learn off members here no need to be proud ;)
Apart from the sandals with sock wearers, anyone who wears those crocs also scare me slightly. I know some people have owned up on here saying they wear them, but it's just my own opinion. (Hopefully no offence to anyone on here).

Exactly but all I have been saying till your previous post is that is what he told me.:D
Apart from that do not wear socks with sandals to get back on course with the subject.

Don't have any myself, but would have thought, being rubber, they would make your feet sweat?

yes they do and my children hate it when i wear stupid foot wear,but that's the fun of it , revenge for all that teen crap they put me through .. just bought some new shorts to complete my holiday image ,this years look will be pure embarrassment, revenge is a dish best served in socks:)
Sandals only look right with no socks and a hat with corks hanging from it. looking red raw with sunburn is an option :)
Well I would just wear flipflops, but being slightly of large foot it is a chore to find pairs that fit nice. And they get wrecked pretty quickly, whereas the moc-crocs are plenty accomodating, and don't seem to sweat much. They can go in the bath for a wash anyhoot.
Crocs really do not make your feet sweat, they are basically all I wear, I have a long term really bad back and I can walk for miles in them easily.
Am used to getting plenty of grief for wearing them but they are so comfy I don't care, think I have nearly 10 pairs... oops!
I don't wear flip flops.I think they are the most dangerous form of footwear there is..I wonder how many accidents can be blamed on the wearing of them.:(

The more details you give of your everyday wear the more you look like this in my imagination. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2009/06/5.jpg
Please tell me your shorts aren't leather. :shocked:
If you're going to wear socks with sandals then surely the natural progression is a Borat-style mankini....

I wonder if papa has one already packed away for the beach. Bet his sons would be really impressed with him wearing one of those.
He would be 100% guaranteed to draw the attention of some other nice boys in the event that his sons found they, unfortunately, had pressing engagements elsewhere when they had been looking forward to spending quality time with him. :)
