Socks with Sandals

[Voley]

Eeeh, hasn't he grown? </Annoying Uncle-type>

Will you do me a favour, though, sheo, please?

Would you tell him that his footwear faux-pas makes him look a right knob in that photo?

Just from me, like.

Given his profound abuse of me in the past, I feel this is more than justified.

Thank you.

We told him not to do it but he insisted and said 'Noone will be looking at my feet. '.

Good man!

A free thinker and one unfettered by the ridiculous whims of the fashionistas.

When he is old enough, buy him a beer for me will ya?


Fashion "rules" can suck my shrivelled, leathery, salty cock.


Oh, don't get me wrong - I frequently mock trends or styles which I feel "look silly" (because I am a cunt) purely on the basis that they "look silly" (and/or because they are also ridiculously overpriced) and I have no problem with others doing the same - provided they agree with me of course.



What I can't fucking abide are people who start wittering on about fashion "absolutes" and "Laws/rules" ( anyone who says the words "Fashion no-no" or "Fashion faux pas" in any kind of seriousness needs to be killed in the face by leopards) and claiming some sort of weird moral high ground and superiority over fucking clothes




As I have said before, my key rules for clothing in order of importance are:

1) Covers the parts that are social unacceptable or generally inconvenient to expose.
2) Comfortable. Comfortable and Comfortable.
3) Assists me in reaching and sustaining the desired temperature and level of environmental protection required at that time.
4) Has capacious pockets/cubby holes to put my stuff in (not necessarily a factor with footwear)
5) Is a colour I like.


Pretty much everything other than that is completely extraneous.

The exception I make are for t-shirts with bands/tour nonsense on them: of course it has to be a band that I like.


Duh!

I don't object to the look, but surely wearing socks with sandals defeats the purpose. I wear sandals, well thongs (flip-flops) because they are much quicker and easier to put on and because I like having a breeze on my bare feet. If I were to wear sandals it'd be for the same reasons.

I love all of these people very much.

I admire people who have the nerve to do it and just don't care! It's usually older men, like my dad.

I don't really understand the reasoning behind it though, as I wear sandals when it's hot, and socks kind of defeat the object of that.

I don't know about anyone else but my sandals don't smell if I wear them without socks.

The idea of sandals is to go sockfree and let your feet breath..or you may as well just wear socks and shoes!!!!!!!!!

Eastender wears sandals with socks - that's how wrong they are!


There's a photo somewhere, but i can't be arsed to look for it.

Exactly.

Although when I see people with really minging feet, I sometimes wish they *were* wearing socks.

This is just sooooooooooooooooooooooo wrong

i pmsl'd myself at quite a few of them, especially the ones where there was a few inches of sking between just below the knee socks and just above the knee shorts. That and teh chap wearing 'trainer' socks with sandals, almost like he knows its wrong, just cant help himself!

I think sandals should be worn with bare feet, it does let air round your feet and keeps them cool. surely socks just absorb the sweat from your feet and then keep it between your feet and sandals, letting it soak into your sandals???

If your sandals do satrt to smell aftera while, bung them in washing machine or sink and soap.

Just had a great idea..... Slip in some 'odour eaters' before you slide your feet in

So now I can't wear my socks with my Birkenstocks OR my shorts


What about if they're leech socks?

What are leech socks? I am sure there are exemptions if there are functional reasons for wearing certain types of sock, though how you explain that to the casual "OMGWTF, she's wearing SOCKS with SANDALS!!1!" passer-by, I don't know

Doesn't work though! Socks are much cleaner and because they are out in the open your feet are kept dry, limiting any other foot problems you might have!!

Still I remember when having deliberately creased clothes or ripped clothes was considered a terrible faux pas and so I expect the wheel of fashion to turn and so I suppose I'm ahead of the game!!!

A Trend Setter no less!!! OOOhhh mi Mum would be so proud!

Mine neither.

Sadly, I don't often wear sandals, because - while I don't think my feet are minging - they've had a hard life, so I have a toenail missing, various Frankensteinesque scars on them, and not the beautifulest remaining 8.5 toenails, either.

But sometimes I just say "sod it" and wear them. Sans socks. Preferred high summer wear, though, is heavy boots, with wool over cotton socks. Just lovely, and no risk of sunburned feet...and they HURT (sunburned feet, not the boots).
