Important question about shoes and socks

42 replies

Those that are shoeless or sockless might want to look away for this.

Is it:

  • sock, sock, shoe, shoe
  • sock, shoe, sock, shoe.

I'm going to do that terrible thing where I don't say my choice in the OP. I just worried I'll sway public opinion if I do, .

Sock sock shoe shoe. Socks are upstairs, shoes downstairs. Even if they're in the same room it's the same though.

Ah I don’t put socks on when I get dressed

Dragonskin · 05/09/2022 19:38

All the socks, then all the shoes. I can't stand the thought of one foot being naked and the other having a sock and a shoe on!

All these weird sock shoe sock shoe people (this has blown my mind)... What if you're wearing tights, do you put one leg in, shoe on then the other leg?

Sorry posted this then abandoned it due to a work emergency.

Anyway, I always thought I was a sock, sock, shoe, shoe person. Then I dawned on me I was living under this flase impression of myself due to the fact my socks and shoes rarely go on in the same room. But when they do I do sock, shoe, dock shoe.

I don't know what to do about it 😕

I am pretty confident if it was tights and shoes at the same time I'd put the tights on first 😀

Socks in pocket as I go down stairs, in case I end up going out. Otherwise no socks or shoes. Then conventional sock, sock, shoe, shoe if I go out.

If I am going in the garden or getting something out of the car then probably no socks or shoes but if it is wet, no socks and husbands giant shoes.

Sock sock shoe shoe, unless it's when I'm changing footwear when we're out for a walk when it's deshoe, wooly sock, boot, deshoe, wooly sock, boot. (Thats the simple version where I'm wearing the thin liner socks with the shoes to start with)

Sock sock shoe shoe, but I alternate which foot goes first in case one gets jealous.

ArtichokeAardvark · 05/09/2022 22:55

I'm going against the grain. Sock shoe sock shoe! I don't wear socks inside as I wear flipflops around the house, so socks go on as I'm getting ready to leave. So yes, sit down and do sock shoe, then cross legs the other way and do the other sock shoe.

BobMortimersPocketMeat · 05/09/2022 22:55

Sock sock, shoe shoe.

The idea of one fully leather-clad foot standing next to a pinkly naked trotter makes me feel lightheaded and slightly queasy.

In the swimming pool, you have to do one foot of tights, shoe, other foot of tights, shoe, pull up tights.

But that ridiculous procedure is only required where the floor is wet.

Southlandssue · 05/09/2022 17:37

Sock, sock, shoe, shoe EXCEPT in swimming pool changing rooms where the floor is wet when it is sock, shoe, sock, shoe

Exactly

ErrolTheDragon · 06/09/2022 07:52

In the swimming pool, you have to do one foot of tights, shoe, other foot of tights, shoe, pull up tights.

I'd imagine most people having done that once wouldn't wear tights to the pool again.

You’d think.

but some of us are incapable of not forgetting this stuff.

Sudocrem if it makes you feel any better, in the swimming pool I actually do sock, one leg of trousers, shoe, sock, leg of trousers, shoe. Then pull the trousers up.
