In reply to Katherine. Absolutely, I slightly changed my mind from my first comment which was tongue in cheek anyway, I already thought white or white or, imho better, black on black socks and sandals can look great and intentional, you make it look like summer lightweight ankle boots!

In reply to Willie Louis Braxton. It's still me and I agree with you, as intentional fashion statement it's perfect! Or if one is really more comfortable with that it imho should take priority.

Dead right!
I love my brightly coloured socks which makes two statements –
1. I am a positive person and my socks reflect that.
2. I couldn’t give a toss what silly negative peiple think.

The author of this article if full of horse hockey. Wearing socks and sandals appropriate varies by culture and country. For example, it is considered unprofessional to wear sandals without socks in India.

I personally think that if it’s monochrome ( so white socks paired with white sandals, etc) it actually looks kinda bomb! But honestly just wear whatever you wanna wear. Life is way too short to worry about other people’s opinions!

In reply to Antonymous. If you wear colorful socks like Bombas what is the point of covering them up. Show your colorful socks. Socks and sandals are acceptable. The world needs less judging of people by their physical appearances.

I have nerve damage in my foot. Wearing socks protects my foot from sandals or shoes rubbing wrongly on my foot. I know your article was meant to be cute, but there are some legit reasons for wearing socks and sandals. But, for now, I am stuck wearing clunky athletic shoes when a pair of lightweight socks and comfy sandals would be so comfortable.

I think it’s either out of habit or because some think they have very ugly feet and especially men seem to be socialized this way in some circles and subculters, it depends, like they think men have much uglier feet than women so they should stay hidden or that it’s not manly if they show. It often self fulfills because they actually didn’t take care of them one bit which is what very made them ugly in first place ^_^. Or for similar reasons, us men including myself to an extent are much used to wear socks all time and cling to them as a protective layer out of habit, complaing that losing them irritate their feet due to the friction, which is probably why many resort to just not wear shorts even in summer or even wearing shorts with shoes and socks! A minor part resorts to sandals and socks and their reasons might cross with the other aforementioned ones, thinking it’s too hot to wear shoes, but just can’t forego socks.
About the comfort, well it’s just normal that it feels uncomfortable at first, you are just used to wear socks all year round except for going beach :).
When I went out in shorts for the first time, my leather sandals used to feet quite uncomfortable against my bare feet and toes, because I always wore socks and pants. I was about to give up and go for pairing shoes and socks or simply go back to light pants, but I figured I just had to break them out and in addition just getting used to that, until it felt great and comfortable. So I can really understand where you come from.
Remember to take care of heels, scrub, file your toenails and optionally take off excess hair, before wearing shorts, it’s just taking care of yourself respecting yourself in first place and nothing is unmanly about that ^_^.
