I've not worn socks for years, do you find it disgusting?

[Anonymous]

I've never really liked socks but a few years ago I decided to not wear them anymore.

Some of my friends say it's disgusting but I don't see why

[BoopBoopBeep]

Your shoes are disgusting because what would normally be trapped and laundered in your socks (detritus, bacteria, sweat) now all goes to your shoe, which is washed far less frequently if at all.

If you're talking about sandals or something open it's less of an issue Tennis shoes/trainers/running shoes, horrible idea.

[Asker]

When the weather allows it I prefer wearing open toed shoes but even when I wear sneakers or any other shoes I don't have problems

[BoopBoopBeep]

Sure you do. You're still depositing detritus and sweat, and all the associated bacteria that comes with that in your shoe instead of a washable sock. Now maybe that hasn't created any secondary problems for you, but that doesn't change the fact that many people will find that unhygenic.

[Asker]

Yes I know why they think that but in my case it's not very unhygienic

[BoopBoopBeep]

Why do you feel you're different?

[Asker]

I'm lucky because I don't really sweat so it's much more hygienic than a guy who sweats a lot for example.

[BoopBoopBeep]

It's more hygienic if I piss myself than if I wallow in shite, but that doesn't change the fact that detritus and bacteria are not washed from your shoes.

You asked a question about why some of your friends think it is disgusting. You received multiple answers along the same vein. You can discount those answers or disagree with them or somehow find exceptions to them all you want, but your friends quite clearly didn't find you to have those exceptions, lest they would share your opinion, which by your own account they do not. It would seem then, that if you already had the answer in your head which to you is the only one valid, then asking the question seems peculiar, does it not?

[artgorgeous]

It would be disgusting if you were wearing the same socks for years and never wash them.

[Asker]

Yes but I wear none

[artgorgeous]

Not even in winter? Or you live in a warm country? If you are not wearing socks and you have closed shoes, your shoes might eventually become super stinky because of the sweat from your feet.

[Asker]

No I don't really sweat

[KatherineJ]

It’s your life. They are your feet. Do you and don’t worry about what your friends think.

[Anonymous]

If you are wearing shoes, it would make your feet sweaty and smell ,, also may make the shoe get damaged faster

[Asker]

I don't sweat that much, only when I go running

[Skull_Anon]

But still if you are wearing a shoes your feet being all covered would get all sweaty probably

[Asker]

@Skull_Anon No feet are very rarely sweaty actually

[BoopBoopBeep]

That depends on how active you are. I've got 2-5 ruck marches a week. I've got a teammate that plays soccer/football 4 days a week. There are people who have a goal to hit 10k steps a day and there are those who do that before breakfast.

[Asker]

@BoopBoopBeep I only sweat a little when I do sport. Remember that girls sweat less than guys

[Staximus]

Socks absorb sweat, so your shoes must be really smelly in the summertime

[Asker]

In summer time I wear open toed shoes most of the time. They're not smelly anyway

[BarryLiverstone]

No it not disgusting. We all wash our feet and I also don’t wear socks often.

[Asker]

Really?

[BarryLiverstone]

Really

[Asker]

What do you wear?

[BarryLiverstone]

If I’m at home or at the beach I will go barefoot

[Asker]

And in winter?

[BarryLiverstone]

I live in Florida. lol what is winter? It’s 94 degrees today

[Asker]

Oh ok it makes sense

[BarryLiverstone]

Sorry did I confuse you?

[Asker]

If you live in hot weather it makes sense to not wear socks

[BarryLiverstone]

You must not live in warm weather

[BarryLiverstone]

But you are anonymous so wouldn’t know

[Asker]

No I live in Belgium

[BarryLiverstone]

That’s a long way away. I probably couldn’t jog there

[Asker]

You can try lol

[BarryLiverstone]

Ha ha ok leaving my house now

[BarryLiverstone]

Just 4,790 miles to jog

[Asker]

See you later

[Anonymous]

It's disgusting because there's no barrier between your shoes and your feet. So your shoes are soaking up all your feet juices. YUMMY! 😆

[Asker]

But I don't sweat

[Asker]

And I'm used to not have a barrier with my shoes

[Anonymous]

Well if its hot n ur shows ar leather or sneakers. Theyll definitely catch smell.. also... its only nice when ur feet r pretty to look at

[Asker]

[Opinion Owner]

[Miristheiss]

What do you where? Open toed shoes?

[Asker]

I would like to always wear open toed shoes but the climate doesn't allow it wear I live. Most of the time I wear sneakers or boots

[Jmmmfi4]

ITS DIFFERENT

[Asker]

What do you mean?

[Yellovv]

Are you wearing your shoes without socks?

[Asker]

Yes I like walking barefoot but I have to wear shoes outside

[Yellovv]

Is that not making your feet smell?

[Asker]

Very rarely

[Yellovv]

Are you wearing your boots without socks as well?

[Asker]

Yes! As I said I've not worn any single socks for years

[Yellovv]

That's interesting if your feet doesn't smell if you are not wearing any socks with your boots..

[Asker]

I don't know I'm just like this

[Yellovv]

Can you able to share your feet under your question?

[Asker]

No I want to stay anonymous

[Yellovv]

Yes you can able to stay anon but you can able to share your feet under your question update section..

[riverrat3]

[Asker]

Why did you stop?

[riverrat3]

[Asker]
