Wet or dirty floors invite to completely dress one foot first.

Even so, I will sock, step on shoe, sock, put on shoe, put on other shoe. I would never, in any imaginable circumstance, have a sock and shoe on one foot while the other is bare. That is just insanity.

For me personally I change outfits several times a week in a public bathroom, so my main goal is simply to avoid letting my socks or any of my other clothing touch the floor.

Corollary to this, I actually complete one foot start to finish before moving on to the next. So at the halfway point I am fully wearing a new sock and shoe on one foot, while the other is still wearing my old sock and shoe

People who don't wear shoes indoors and keep their floors clean generally put their socks on in their bedroom after they got out of bed and their shoes on in the entryway when they're about to go outside.

You know, people who don't live like animals.

[–] BeardedBlaze@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Y'all wear socks in the house?!

[–] OR3X@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Yes, because I have hardwood and tile floors. Shit's cold in the winter.

In the winter its unthinkable not to but in the summer it's unthinkable to wear socks. Why did my ancestors choose to settle down in Ontario where the weather is one extreme or the other

When you live in a very small, uncarpeted apartment, the line between the entryway and the rest of the dwelling becomes fuzzy and permeable.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

You do you. You don't need to pass such harsh judgment on other people for what they do.

Ya freak.

Sock > shoe > sock > shoe > underwear > pants > shirt.

P.S. why does naked except for shoes and socks feel MORE naked then just naked?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 24 points 2 months ago

It reminds you that the rest of you is naked.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Socks and shoes only gives you the feeling that you're going to go places while naked

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because it implies you will also be somewhere you need foot protection.

Who puts on shoes right after putting on socks in the first place?

[–] somewhiteguy@reddthat.com 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People who are putting on socks and shoes to be presentable outside of their house and have been barefoot or in sandals up to this point.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah but I don't keep my socks by the door where my shoes are, they're in my bedroom. so I put them on in my bedroom instead of carry them to the door

I put my socks on as soon as I get out of the shower, just after my underwear and undershirt. I don't put my shoes on until just before I leave my apartment.

My socks are in my bedroom and my shoes are by the door because I'm not a savage who tracks shit into my home. Am I supposed to just carry socks around while I get my shit together to go out?

Depends on the environment. When camping, in a tent without a floor, putting on each shoe right after the sock allows parking the shoed foot on the dirt while putting on the next sock and shoe.
But putting on both socks and then putting on both shoes is the default.

Archie Bunker got very upset when he saw his son-in-law doing sock, shoe, sock, shoe. The son's closing argument was along the lines of, "What if we're both halfway done and there's a fire, so we have to run outside? The fire department is spraying water all over. Your feet get soaking wet because you're in your socks. But I have one shoe on, so I can hop and stay dry."

Had to dredge that memory up from the deep archives.

Sock shoe sock shoe is only valid when you're on a dirty floor (eg a beach), hopping around awkwardly on one foot, trying to stay as clean as possible

[–] hendu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

I put my sock inside my shoe and wear them both together in a smooth motion.

I do sock shoe sock shoe if I'm drying/cleaning my feet from a trip to the beach or for hiking a canoe portage.

So I had read about this and at the time was equally enraged on the thought of doing sock shoe sock shoe. And then suddenly, without even noticing, one day I just started doing it. It happened maybe like 3 times before I noticed and now it's just my default because it feels better I guess? Granted, I don't do it much as I generally loathe wearing socks, but I've come to accept as something I now do.

What kind of dirty weirdo does sock sock shoe shoe?? The clean socks inevitably touch the floor, dirty.

Edit: apparently it needs clarifying that you put the shoes AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE HOUSE where dirty shoes from the outside were previously removed. Y'all are crazy, where do you put shoes, on the bed!?

My sister does sock-shoe to limit the amount of dog hair on the sock.
