Socks with flip-flops?

Where's the Ban Hammer when you need it?

No one over 18 should wear socks with any sandal.

I agree it's a poor choice, but I also think it's not one born of fashion.
More of a, 'My feet do better in socks and I don't care what it looks like" kinda thing.

My feet look better in socks, and I won’t go out otherwise

I'm against men wearing sandels/flip flops outside of the beach, pool or their own house. Absolutely hate it.

agreed... every time i see birks i just think of how bad they must smell

so many amazingly comfortable sneakers nowadays that are also fashionable that i just cant understand why anyone would wear sandals

Just wondering, if you are anti shorts as well?

My father had a very strong "no shorts unless you're at the beach or pool, or gym, or exercising" rule.

He also never exposed his toes in public.

I once backpacked through south east asia for two months in a pair of Havaianas during typhoon season, but that was without socks.

My poor feet.

No, I'm not anti shorts. I just combine them with a classic white sneaker.

No sandals for men. Men’s feet should never be seen. To and from beaches, saunas and pools only.

This. But at home only. Never out of the house. I'd rather go out with no pants than with socks in my flip-flops!

I’ll go sockless with my Birks but that’s it. The one strap or split toe flip flop is a no no to me. Especially with socks. I usually wear Stan smiths or k Swiss classic as my no sock wear Go-to.

Or my sperrys but they went from red to pink with all my poolside antics.
