Hey fellas, Dlew12 here. Let's talk socks.

I'll start.

I hardly ever wear socks. Most of the time, I'm a boat-shoe or sandle man. I know, what you're thinking, but no, they don't smell bad. Once upon a time, my feet stunk up my shoes, but not anymore. Some people like to wear those little half-way baby socks. Not me. All or nothing, I say.

Obviously I wear socks with dress shoes. Does anyone know why dress socks are super thin? Seems like nicer socks should have more material. Why the discrepancy? Don't look at me.

Other times, I wear sandals. I like to wear a pair of nice gym-socks with these. NOT! You don't wear socks with sandals, dummies!

Yesterday I went to Wal-Mart to buy some warm socks because sometimes my feet get cold when I'm at home or in bed. Wool socks are great! Sometimes, though, i think they do their jobs a little too well, and my feet get too hot. Is there a good middle-ground to wear my feet won't be super hot or super cold? Plus they're kind of itchy sometimes. But all that being said, I still give wool-socks two thumbs up. They're like form fitting slippers that don't fall off your feet.

Anyone else have any thoughts about socks?

My half baby socks that stay on my ankle are incredible.

dickies work crew are the most comfortable.

dress socks are a waste of time. i don't understand them.

Love socks. Bringing back some mid calf athletic socks right now. Other than that I wear ankle/not quite no show.

Rarely go out in sandals and don't own boat shoes.

wearing socks when i sleep seems like a little baby version of sleeping inside a fully zipped up sleeping bag to me. i don't like how it makes me feel

Stevesie60 · « **Reply #6 on:** November 03, 2012, 03:01:44 AM »

I only wear one type of sock only: black, ankle-high. Even with dress shoes. Because of this, I have (correctly) been labeled a rulebreaker, a bad ass. Think about it.

Sorry I can't give you some better input. Well, besides that you should wear black ankle-high socks and be a bad ass like me.

dunno how i didn't think to mention that i love all types of patterned/striped/etc socks (not like tacky snowmen and crap like that) and legitimately have +/- 100 pair in my rotation. i can't keep myself from buying a half dozen pair or so whenever they're on sale at the gap or wherever.

i'm otherwise the farthest thing from a hoarder-type person (i guess i actually use my socks though)

I think deafs wear high black socks. At least, the deaf I worked at Sonic with wore high black socks. Maybe some kind of signal to let people know they can't hear? idk.

Are you a deaf, Jake?

Embarrassingly it was only in the last few years that I realized the return on investment with very elite socks is extremely high (also belts).

Hi Dlew~

Question; Is Dobber the sock of someone or just a really bad poster? I'll listen off the air. Thanks!

8manpick · « **Reply #14 on:** November 03, 2012, 09:44:42 AM »

The thinner smartwools are great socks. Moisture wicking and warm, but not sweaty warm. Good stuff. Also can confirm that dobber is not a sock, a shoe maybe, but not a sock.

Black ankle socks are like soy sauce, goes with everything

Dlew, I hate to tell you this, but your feet do kinda smell...

ChiComCat · « **Reply #17 on:** November 03, 2012, 11:24:05 AM »

I got cocky with boat shoes thinking I could get away without socks more than I could. Went sockless with normal shoes and that ended badly.

puniraptor · « **Reply #18 on:** November 03, 2012, 11:25:07 AM »

i'll go sockless with adidas shelltoes, but any other "normal" shoe is def disastrous.

Oh really? Have you smelled my feet recently? Didn't think so.

8mp, tell me more about these smartwool sonsabitches. I'm all ears.

YLA, maybe send me a PM if you want? I'd like to keep this thread specificaly pertaining to socks, and not "OT" stuff like underpants.

I love coloful/patterny socks. I hit up GAP sales during the holidays and Marshall's all the time for 'em.

i go sockless with boat shoes and loafers. Please tell me your secrets about de-smelly'ing your feet. tia.

i go sockless when i sleep.

i have a few pairs of wools for the really cold days.

i wear the no shows when wearing athletic shoes.

i really enjoy thin dress socks. they feel so sleek and breathable. the thinner the better i say.

Ron Prince's Goatee can verify.

No shows for running shoes, crew socks for bball shoes. Thin dress socks when it's warm out, thicker ones for winter. Patterns are cool for dress socks. No socks for deck shoes but I always make sure to buy ones that are lined specially for no sock usage and I'll usually give them the occasional blast with some dr scholls spray to ward off any possible stank. /thread.

Seems to require a large, complicated sock drawer.
