Pet Peeve #1: Socks with Sandals


I'm going to start off by saying that socks with sandals are never acceptable. Ever. I think it's a terrible idea, and unsure why anyone would consider it, and don't even tell me because your feet are cold because that's what closed toe shoes (sneakers, clogs, boots, etc.) are for-- covering your feet! In fact, just about all closed-toe shoes require socks to be worn between your feet and the shoe (unless you want them to smell and be gross). Thus, socks and shoes go together. Sandals, on the other hand, were made for warmer weather, you know, when your feet will not get cold if you're not wearing socks. Many sandals have pieces that go in between your toes (i.e. the flip flop), as well, making it impossible to comfortably wear socks (given it may ever be acceptable to do so in the first place, which it is not). Naturally, bare feet and sandals go together; they were just meant to be. So, if your feet are cold enough to put socks on, do not be a lazy fatass and just put on sneakers, or whatever your preference of shoe may be. And, to spare everyone the aroma of your sweaty feet, wear socks when you wear sneakers.

Socks and shoes. Barefeet and sandals. Got it? Good.
