Oh and it rhymes!

I'm getting these for Christmas and I would love to wear them with socks a la the website photos.

Very Germanic.

Socks and sandals 🤮

Apparently, this is why I was single for so long, according to my cousins now ‘ex’ wife. Always makes me laugh.

@3dogs2cats
I think you have the answer we are being too subtle if we pile it on it might look deliberate

Also maybe it depends on whether you're hanging out in an actual garden centre or a cold-brew coffee house

It rains so much in the summer in China that if I didn't wear socks with my Birkies in the autumn, I'd never get to wear them.

It's not mandatory. You could simply wear appropriate footwear.

The whole purpose of sandals is for the feet to be exposed. If I need warm feet, I wear comfortable shoes.

lweji in most of Asia, socks and sandals is totally normal.
