Do not remind me that socks exist

"Can't fucking decide" sensory issues

no socks, but not as sensory issue

socks just aren't practical or useful. they make walking on some floors annoying, and since I go outside in sandals/slippers (this is my sensory issue, normal shoes are never comfortable) I'd have to take them off and on frequently. I don't need the warmth where I live.

I fucking hate wearing socks but ever since I got COVID my feet are always cold, so now I wear socks and still hate it.

Socks with shoes 100%, flip flops/thongs/sandals 0%

Socks are worn for 99% of my waking hours. They only come off in specific circumstances, normally involving water.

The socks must be well-fitting and put on straight, pulled up to their natural height and tightness. I prefer socks that come halfway up my shins, and I only wear ankle socks when working out.

The socks must be a matched pair. No mixing between different colours, cuts, brands, etc.

No holes allowed; if a sock gets a hole of any size, it immediately goes in the garbage. The widowed sock goes on my dresser until an appropriate mate is made by the splitting up of another pair.

On the other hand, I never sleep in socks under any circumstances. I find I get too warm.

For me it's temperature based. I'm wearing socks unless the temperature is above 27 Celsius, at which point I'm comfortable wearing shorts and sandals.

Under 23 C my entire skin needs covering except hands & head. I cannot stand exposed skin at that point.

When it's below 5 C I wear long socks because I lose a lot of heat through they legs.

Socks at all times. The plain black ones that end right above the ankle and I change them about 3 times a day even if I've spent all day sitting at my desk.

Both, kinda. I want to wear socks all the time but I can't stop myself from picking at them so they get holes within a few days. And I have sweaty feet so I always get lint stick between my toes, never found any sock that doesn't do that. So even though I want to wear them all the time there are enough annoyances from them to make me only wear them when I go to somewhere other than my apartment where I'll take my shoes off, like a friends place.

I have unexplainable discomfort if I'm not wearing socks. The only other person I've known to experience that is my mom, and we are both adhd.

Team socks, and if I need to be productive: socks, shoes and pants must be tight. Otherwise is couch potato mode and cannot function.

I read about some surprising statistics over here. One of the leading causes of death: accidents at home. On top of that list: wool socks in the winter. Yeah I've slipped and fallen before, and I dread that, and I don't wear socks at home, thanks

I'm a recovering indoor shoe wearer, so socks are like my harm reduction. But I'm trying to wear them (and shoes) less in the house, because I believe it's better in the long term for your feet and back muscles. At least it feels like more work to me, and so it's probably good for me.

Yes

Wear socks all the time except in bed, unless feet are icey.

Both. If I somehow get forced into the other socks mode, I must stay in it at all costs.

Socks are oppression from society.

socks alone make my feet too hot, but shoes are fine. is that a sensory issue?

~~If~~ When I'm not wearing socks I get foot cramps.

I can’t do work without slippers on.

If I’m just sitting at my desk in socks my brain does not connect.

Socks please, I have cats, cats track litter and I hate their cute little faces

Depends on the season. Flip-flops all summer, boots (with socks) all winter.

I used to sleep with socks on, so there's your answer. Unwashed, smelly socks.

I somehow have both issues.

I wear "toe" shoes that don't need socks most of time. The calluses on the balls of my feet sometimes get too dry and tear holes in my socks, which gets a little frustrating. I usually can't stand the sensation of most socks, but I am good with my injijis or the comfy smart wool socks for boots. I can't wear any socks to bed as they get twisted and cut off circulation. So, unless if I absolutely need them for my footwear, or it gets too cold, I am not wearing them.
