I have seen people putting on the shoes without the socks.I also have done it a fewer times.What difference do you feel with & without socks? I think its always better to wear socks as it helps with the sweat & the wounds caused by rubbing of the shoes. In the first place do you wear socks or not? If not why?

I don't put on shoes without socks. It's not good for my feet as well as for my shoes. The only exceptional case is where there's a protecting sheet inside that you usually find in the high-heeled shoes.

Blergh, if I'd wear my shoes without socks I wouldn't feel comfortable. My feet are pretty sensitive and the slightest rubbing might make me scream. No thanks. :D

yeah the material rubbing on your feet is kinda irritating to your feet w/o socks. Plus when i go out a lot and i get rocks or sand in my shoes it makes it even more uncomfortable.

Personally, I don't have many shoes in which I don't wear socks. I only have bare feet when wearing sandals and mary jane shoes; even though I do get blisters from the rubbing on my heel with those last ones. I just don't like the look of socks in mary janes. Sometimes I put on a pantyhose to have something around my heels when wearing mary janes.

Hi krupesh, it depends on what type of shoes I wear. I will put on socks for sure before wearing sport shoes or sneakers. It looks rather weird if wearing such types of shoes without putting on socks. I like the short ones instead of the long socks. It’s always more comfortable wearing socks when having outdoor activities. Yeah, physical exercises as well as games like jogging, badminton, mountain hiking which would cause us to sweat a lot. It’s great to have the cotton socks to absorb the sticky swear on our feet Of course we should replace the dirty our socks every now and then to keep our feet as well as the shoes always clean and hygienic We are advised not to wash certain types of sneakers with water. Yeah, just rub the inner part of them after using the shoe spray. This type of shoe sprays are available in the shoes outlets. Happy posting

It depends on what kind of the shoes. If they are sandals, of course I won't wear socks, otherwise it'll be weird. If they are other shoes, then I will wear socks. I love China

Hi krupesh, I've always worn my shoes with socks, can't wear it any other way. I don't like the feel of shoes directly touching my skin, and the feet easily sweat and gather dust without socks. Plus, socks protect the skin from unwanted wounds particularly when the shoes are new.

I always wear socks before I put on my shoes. It gets annoying and sometimes when I'm in a hurry, I just want to slip on my sneakers and leave but then I would remember how difficult it is to wash shoes. Then I would go back and grab a pair of socks.

Socks? What are they? I only wear socks in winter to warm my feet at night. That's the only time I wear them as I don't like them at all. I prefer stockings and in the summer months I prefer to be barefoot for as long as I can as I love the feel of bare feet. Only when there is snow and it is really cold will I wear them though and as soon as the sun starts shining again I am back to bare feet. I LOVE your new avatar Krupesh!

Let's put it this way, I will never wear shoes without wearing my socks. It just feels uncomfortable and uneasy wearing shoes without the socks.

it's very important to wear socks when wearing shoes to avoid unwanted odors of your feet. it is more comfortable wearing socks in shoes than nothing at all. your feet will also gets protected with soft socks.

I most of the time wear socks with my shoes. I have tried not wearing socks and I have notice that every time I don't wear socks my feet gives out this very foul odor. That's why I have to wear socks no matter what when I wear my shoes. I agree with you with the sweat and the wounds. socks can really prevent this. Socks absorb the sweat instead of going into the shoes it will be absorb by the socks and then some socks have this neutralizing effect which then makes your feet smell newly washed. Socks can also prevent the wound from friction, but my advice to those who have wound in their feet try not to wear shoes but only slippers because shoes are close and dark which invites many fungi and with the addition of sweat to add moisture it can further invite many microorganism in your feet and you don't want to be amputated right. Just a piece of advice. It's much safer to advice late than never.

Without socks it feels quite uncomfortable in shoes, to me at least. I never paid just what is so unnerving... think it must be rubbing of shoes as you say. Though I have done that few times, and always promised myself: never again.

When I wear my sneakers in the summer sometimes I do not wear socks. I put foot powder in my shoes. It is just cooler to me in the summer if I do not wear socks. The rest of the three season I wear socks with my shoes.

It depends on the kind of shoes I am wearing. For sneakers, yes definitely.

I wear socks with sneaker-type shoes, but not with heels (although I try to wear stockings with those). If not, all the sweat just gets into the shoe and it gets all grotty and especially for track shoes, your feet feel gross.
