Sandals with socks - Yes or no?

[Scotty I.]

Acceptable only if you have toes that look like mine. I'd post pictures but this is a family blog.

Poll is flawed, terribly flawed. Any combination of footwear is perfectly acceptable at any time of day.
What's not acceptable outside the comfort of one's home is shorts on a grown man!

 

[Philpug]

It's not like I was wearing cargo shorts!

I'm with Phil. Own it, Pug.

OMG

29.4% of the respondents said YES!

 

[Tricia]

I'm amazed that there are any yes votes besides Phil's.
I don't recall a time when it was more appropriate to use this emoji over and over.

 

[Philpug]

We were up to 33%..now down to 31.7%..C'mon. I need your support!

Crazy groupthink. Cool day. Try it yourself. One way on each foot. Give it a couple hours. Wool socks ftw in northern New England. Don't be browbeaten by the discomfort police.

Plus most feet honestly look better in socks.

Never would put socks with sandals and your not going to find a bigger NERD than I.

Jon Mathews, one of my professors in grad school, had a saying that covers this. (He was explain selection rules in particle physics, but still...)

"Not only no, but hell no."

Fashion notes from Sheldon Cooper?!?!

Fashion notes from Sheldon Cooper?!?!

Actually Jon Mathews was a very cool guy. He was discussing "doubly-forbidden transition rules" but was taking an example from the game of Kriegspeil, which is chess where you can't see the opponent's pieces. The referee tells you if a move is legal, for example trying to move a pawn through another piece. But to prevent mind-games like trying obviously illegal moves to give the impression of desperation, the referee is allowed to say "not only no, but hell no." I've found it a useful concept in a broad range of life experiences.

He took a year off to sail around the world and, sadly, was lost at sea in a storm in the Indian Ocean.

I voted yes, but what do I know, I live in Boulder.

Put on a proper pair of trousers and I'll vote for you twice!

 

[ScotsSkier]

The fact that you even have to ask this is scary!!

 

[neonorchid]

Sorry Fashion Victims, I'm with Phil on this one!
I always sport socks with my Birkenstock's and couldn't give 's what other people think!

COMFORT

I'm of the opinion that I really don't give a rats' ass about what anyone else thinks of my fashion sense, or lack thereof. Go ahead and wear the socks with sandals if you want, in private or in public. Then again, as Poseanne noted, I'm in the PNW, we're kind of weird.

I also get cold feet, so sometimes the wool socks are a necessary thing.

How can you possibly put fashion sense and PNW in the same paragraph?????? And I lived in Portland Oregon for 3 years so I know what I speak of....

Old guy weighs in: HELL YEAH!

Dude, if you're going to say the words, you can at least be cool enough to use the emoji

There is a debate going on at Chez Ziggy.
The weather has dropped a bit which has inspired @Philpug to start wearing socks, but he's still in the mood to enjoy wearing his sandals.
While we were out a few days ago, I realized he was wearing socks with his sandals, which didn't strike me as good fashion sense.

Today we're getting ready to go out and I see him putting this combo together. I said, ......Ummmmmm No!
Phil insists that its okay.

@Ziggy groaned.

Before or after Easter?

@Blue Streak does it matter?
