Socks On or Off

This morning's poll on Bing was asking whether or not I prefer to wear socks to bed or go barefoot. I answered "socks on" because right now it is winter, and during the winter I wear socks to bed. But if it had been summer, my answer would have been different. In the summer I go barefoot to bed. So, what about you. Socks on or socks off?

I hate it when people wear flip flops or sandals when they have those bulky white socks on. That is a bad fashion trend.

I do not wear socks no matter the season. I want my feet to breathe. Besides, I sleep under a down blanket so it keeps my feet warm.

@porwest wrap your blanket around your feet and you’ll be fine without socks.

@porwest Now that's a funny image. Although I bet it would hurt and nothing to laugh about. Why do we laugh when someone hurts themselves anyway?

I prefer no socks most of the time, but I just can't do it in the winter.

Socks on when it's cold, socks off when it's hot (I live in Southern CA, our seasons are a toss up ).

@porwest Ah, you lived in San Diego? I am in L.A. Our winters aren't super cold, so folks not from CA may think it's nice. But if you're not used to our summers, it can be super hot! No socks then .

@much2say Yeah. We lived there in the early 80s when my dad was stationed at Miramar. We lived in subdivision called Scripps Ranch.

I would imagine both summers and winters are nice there. It has been many, many years, but when I once lived in San Diego I don't remember being cold much.

@porwest I would also feel miserable should I had cold feet, but I do not feel too much the cold. My husband sleeps with his socks on, he feels a lot the cold.

@Beestring To me that would make matters worse. Kind of like stepping out of a piping hot shower in the winter. I am instantly cold again. lol

I normally don't wear socks to bed. However there are certain times during December and January when the Mercury drops to Max-Min of something like 14-5 C or 12 - 2 C. My feet also feels cold. So I wear socks when sleeping. Thankfully, there are not too many such days. Scientifically, I have heard that wearing socks to bed is not recommended because it curbs air circulation. Yet I am not 100 % sure about that!

@porwest No, I'm saying I'm always too hot and Pretty is always too cold. So she makes me keep the temp in the house set at 73F all the time or she'll set up electric heaters every time she comes out of her room. We can't afford to pay for that. It's cheaper for me to be too hot.

@porwest My covers keep me toasty so I don't need socks. The only time I wear socks to bed is for my nap. I refuse to take those compression socks off and put them back on again.

I tend to go without socks to bed all year round. Honestly, I go without socks a lot throughout the day as well. In the summer, I am barefooted most of the time.

I always wear them in the winter during the day but never at night. Do you ever ask yourself what they do with the information that they collect on these online polls? Maybe they will send your info to sock manufacturers and you will get some money off vouchers.
