I am go without socks a lot with my tennis shoes when it is warm out. I also like to go without shoes when it is warm too. We have this debate in our house often as to if there is a rule on wearing socks with tennis shoes. So what about you do you have to wear socks with your tennis shoes?

I don't wear shies when I am inside. I love to wear sandals or flip flops in the summer. Don't really wear tennis shoes in warm weather, but when I do wear them I usually wear socks with them. I do however on occasion where them with no socks. It really depends on my mood, how hot it is and if I have time to put socks on. lol

I usually don't wear tennis shoes when it's warm unless it's raining. I don't usually wear socks with them either. I don't think you have to if you don't want to. I never wear shoes inside the house. I just like my feet to be free. I mean you wear shoes all over the place.

I scuff around in my bare feet in the house/apartment. However, I need socks when I put on the sneakers. I get sweaty feet syndrome, and they chafe like no one's business! Yuck.

It's very rare that I go without socks with my tennis shoes because I'll get blisters on my feet if I do it too often. I'll wear ankle type of socks or very short shocks such as the calves but nothing more than that.

There's no rule about it, and you must dress as you feel comfortable, but personally I only wear flip flops or clog-type shoes when it's warm out as that's how I'm comfortable. If I was wearing tennis shoes in the summer I would wear socks though otherwise I know that I'd get blisters and the shoes wouldn't be smelling too fresh before too long!

I am definately a sock person. I wear socks and tennis shoes year round except when I am at work and wear EMS boots.

I prefer to wear socks when I wear tebnnis shoes even in summer as I feel they are more comfortable but I must admit they get a bit hot so I only wear them when I am waking a long distance or doing something that I need to have a bit more foot protection.

The only time I wear tennis shoes is if I am taking a long walk and yes, I do wear socks with them. Other than that, I usually have no socks on. In the summer I prefer to go barefoot. When going to a store, I throw on my crocs with no socks or my flip flops in nicer weather.

My son hates socks. He would rather wear sandels all year. But he cant at school. I on the other hand feel naked without socks. Not to mention I sweat and the socks soak up the moisture so it keeps my shoes from smelling to bad.
