What is wrong with wearing socks with sandles?
In what fashion bible does it say this is a no no?
I wear sandles all year round (I have very hot feet) and in the colder days I wear socks
(2 pairs in the winter when it is very cold)
and I am jolly well getting fed up with people making snide comments

You are fashion-forward. Do they not read vogue for goodness sake!

mitochondria · 02/08/2010 20:24

Sorry, you just can't.

It's the rules.

If your feet are cold, wear shoes.

CindersIsNotApoet · 02/08/2010 20:26

Jasonthunderpants · 02/08/2010 20:26

here not

her ..

HecateQueenOfWitches · 02/08/2010 20:27

if you have hot feet then you don't need the socks.

If your feet are cold in the sandals, you need shoes.

SloanyPony · 02/08/2010 20:27

Good on you!

Are you comfortable? Are you happy?

Just wear that, then.

End of. (Sorry to those who hate that phrase!)

CarGirl · 02/08/2010 20:27

buy some trainers

ShellingPeas · 02/08/2010 20:27

What kind of socks? Do they come up mid ankle or all the way to your knee? Do they co-ordinate with your outfit?

Either way YADBU - sandals are for wearing in hot weather, sans socks. Cold weather means shoes/boots.

Else you look like a noddy.

Jasonthunderpants · 02/08/2010 20:28

In the wet and snow I wear boots or wellies

sandles are not very good on sheet ice, I found that out 2 winters ago ,much to dw's amusement

Do you have a beard?

IMO socks + sandals = beard. I believe it a rule of science.

scottishmummy · 02/08/2010 20:29

It is just very very wrong.

Dh has to wear socks, shoes and shorts on the golf course, and we all refuse to be seen out with him afterwards,
It just says "I am dressing like my dad"

Ladyanonymous · 02/08/2010 20:31

I'm really sorry and I am sure you are a lovely person but socks and sandals = social suicide.

My ex's g/f wheres socks and flip-flops.

But then she is clearly insane.

CindersIsNotApoet · 02/08/2010 20:31

deaddei · 02/08/2010 20:34

Tell us you don't wear off white Y fronts.

Shodan · 02/08/2010 20:34

Do you also wear a fannypack bumbag?

Jasonthunderpants · 02/08/2010 20:34

I just knew you would be hostile
I like wearing socks because if my feet get sweaty I dont like the wet feel on the sandle

Trainers no way, I am not 14 you know and white trainers just look crap escpecialy on 40 yr old males with jeans and white socks

deaddei · 02/08/2010 20:35

Do your jeans have a nice crease down the centre?
If so I think I have seen you in RL

CindersIsNotApoet · 02/08/2010 20:35

Monty100 · 02/08/2010 20:36

You could wear flip flops with the toe socks. Even more amazing.

BigWeeHag · 02/08/2010 20:36
