We found one!

Do you also wear knee high black socks with white tennis shoes and shorts. Because that's almost as bad as wearing socks with sandals.

What's wrong w/it? :Q

If ever there was a dorkier picture than someone wearing socks with sandals, I've not yet seen it. There's "no fashion sense" and 10x worse than that, there's wearing socks with sandals.

Worse = old semi-loose jeans (diagonal stiching) with oversized and beat-up tennis shoes, with high socks. My older brother still wears that diagonal stitching and it bothers the hell out of me as to why he doesnt know why they dont look weird. That is >> in the unfashionable department. I'm too lazy to find a picture but I hope you know what I mean. Also any guy wearing jean shorts is WORSE. But yea socks and sandals isnt a good idea, its fine with long athletic socks (soccer games) because you want something really light after wearing cleats a game.

Uh? I don't wear sandals. :confused:
I'm asking what's wrong with it simply because there's nothing wrong with it. Socks still allow air flow but protect/hide the feet. It's not the same as simply wearing a shoe. Just because you've all turned it into a social stigma doesn't mean it's wrong.

Conformist scum.

Dude, there's plenty wrong with it. It's SANDALS! With SOCKS!

If you wanted to protect/hide your feet then don't wear sandals. It just screams DORK.

Have you ever seen the old guy that pulls his pants up to his chest and wanders around with sock garters and tennis shoes? Yeah. Same thing.

What's dorkish about it? How does it make one a dork? It allows airflow to the feet, but keeps the sand/dirt/wtf off of them. A shoe, on the other hand, is tight against the foot, no air, etc.

If you are doing it to be a non-conformist that is one thing, but if you actually think it looks fine that is another.

eek!
