What's the point of wearing socks?

Underwear I understand, but socks?

Going commando with the footsies leaves little danger. Plus you never need to play the sock matching game, only to end in frustration when you realize the dryer ate another one.

If only it were permissible business attire...

Pulls the foot sweat away from your feet to keep them dry, odor down, keep you from rubbing against stitching, etc.

i like socks

That's another thing- why are you any less of a person for wearing unmatched socks? I'm still scarred from that time I was teased in school for running out the door with odd socks...

If I'm not wearing shoes...I'm not wearing socks. As soon as sandle weather rolls around....I never wear socks! Unless of course I go for a hike or go work out.

What risk is there going w/o underwear?

For socks, I only have two types, whites and black dress, easy to not get them mixed up. Socks also keep my stinky feet from making my shoes stink horribly.

Yeah, your shoes end up smelling like your ass without socks.

There comes a time in every person's life when you face the ultimate humiliation, otherwise known as explosive diarrhea. Hopefully you're not going commando when you're enlisted. :(

I didn't know people thought it was unusual to not have socks covering your posterior... ;)

I agree. I have 2 main kinds, the short crew kind and the regular kind. Very easily distinguished. As such, I never fold them. In the drawer. There's only two kinds, and of different style no less. Makes life easy:cool:

Don't wear socks for about a month straight, see how your feet react (and your shoes) after having to soak up all that sweaty air ;)
