My foot is already up on my leg, the shoe is right there, why not put both on?
Less context switching. two repetitive motions followed by two more repetitive motions.
I can handle it. I’ve practiced.
ohh yeah, no judgement here, just plausible downsides
shoe > sock > shoe > sock
Sock shoe sock shoe is only valid when you’re on a dirty floor (eg a beach), hopping around awkwardly on one foot, trying to stay as clean as possible
Or in a locker room
If something happens, it’s better to have one foot ready in case there’s broken glass on the floor than to have two bloody socks.
Better yet, just wear boots at all times. If you never remove them, you’ll never have to worry about broken glass again! You know, just in case.
You say that as a joke, but it’s very real. The ED staff like to mutter about never removing the boots. The floor staff mutter about having to do just that.
There are homeless people who’ve not removed their boots in a year or two. There are toes that come off with socks.
There’s no “better yet” in this scenario.
Wet or dirty floors invite to completely dress one foot first.
This response just raises further questions!
Hiking
Even so, I will sock, step on shoe, sock, put on shoe, put on other shoe. I would never, in any imaginable circumstance, have a sock and shoe on one foot while the other is bare. That is just insanity.
I do it because I’m autistic, hate socks and always walk barefoot at home. If I’m putting on socks it’s so disgusting I put one sock on and then the shoe so tight it kinda overpowers the feeling of the sock, and then do the same to the other foot. That way I minimize the time I have to have just socks on
It’s funny the stuff that can set people off, I can’t stand the feel of long pants and short socks. If I’m wearing long pants, my ankles have to be covered by my socks.
I could maybe see if you have high top hiking boots to go sock>insert foot in shoe BUT LEAVE UNTIED>other sock>other shoe (tying in whatever order works). I wouldn’t consider that a full “shoe” though. Like if you put the horseshoe up to the horse foot but didn’t nail it in. It’s not truly on until it’s tied.
For me personally I change outfits several times a week in a public bathroom, so my main goal is simply to avoid letting my socks or any of my other clothing touch the floor.
Corollary to this, I actually complete one foot start to finish before moving on to the next. So at the halfway point I am fully wearing a new sock and shoe on one foot, while the other is still wearing my old sock and shoe
Pool
I put my socks on as soon as I get out of the shower, just after my underwear and undershirt. I don’t put my shoes on until just before I leave my apartment.
I dry my feet thoroughly, and put on my socks before anything else.
Gotta put on my underwear first, then I sit down and put on my socks.
Don’t want anything touching anything
I’m generally about to put both on anyway, just putting the sock on is half a job
Sock > shoe > sock > shoe > underwear > pants > shirt.
P.S. why does naked except for shoes and socks feel MORE naked then just naked?
So does a hat go at the beginning, or between shoe->underwear?
Between first and second sock-shoe perhaps?
Are you implying I’m ever now wearing the sombrero?
Socks and shoes only gives you the feeling that you’re going to go places while naked
Hopefully not jogging. hurp
That’s alright, I’m cycling to work. But it’s alright no one’s going to see anything I’ve got a really long tie.
why does naked except for shoes and socks feel MORE naked
Because it implies you will also be somewhere you need foot protection.
You put your shoes on before your pants? That’s maniacal
It reminds you that the rest of you is naked.
My socks are in my bedroom and my shoes are by the door because I’m not a savage who tracks shit into my home. Am I supposed to just carry socks around while I get my shit together to go out?
I’m barefoot cause house is where no shoes. I wear socks cause I wear shoes, and for no other reason. Why I would put them on before I’m leaving?
You must live in a warm area, have a very well isolated house, or have heating in the floor. If I’d do they here for 70% of the year my feet will be way too cold to be comfortable
Nah, bruv. I live in a cold place. But I’ve got the no socks 'tism
Socks+rugs and carpets make cold floor a non-issue, and it now gets to -40 for a week or so every winter here so I certainly wouldn’t call it a warm place (though most summers it’ll get as high as 90F at 100% humidity)
Mine is wipe bare foot, sock, shoe, tie. Then repeat, wipe, sock, shoe, tie. I wipe my feet before work because im barefooted through my house over carpet(ew) in a house with 5 animals. And i unlace and retie my shoes everyday instead of keeping them tied forcing my foot in.
I do both. By which I mean I optimise for distance. If the shoe is closer than the sock in my unsorted floordrobe, I’ll go that way.
Same with trouser legs and socks. Sometimes it’s leg->sock, leg-sock, sometimes sock-leg, sock-sock-leg-leg or leg-leg-sock-sock.
I do not play favourites.
Guys, it’s Sock > Sock > Shoe > Shoe C’mon, be civilized.
I don’t keep my socks and shoes in the same place. So I put socks on in the bedroom, then go downstairs to put on shoes before going out
My sister does sock-shoe to limit the amount of dog hair on the sock.
but any dog hair on the sock is dog hair i don’t have to vacuum up.
But then it gets in the shoes.
It always did bother me a little the the inside of shoes is basically impossible to clean well. The best you can do is throw them in the washer if they’re not made of leather and that still doesn’t do well.
But the inside of my shoes is a lost cause :) Hell the Roomba looked at me yesterday and said “I’m Tired Boss”
If the inside is leather you can wipe them out with a damp cloth
ouside leather, inside open cell foam and fabric bacteria soup.
The trick is limiting the amount of dog that loses hair. This process takes time.
I do the same, but to limit dog hair building up in my workout shoes. I’m also technically swapping from one pair of socks to another, so my workout socks never actually touch the floor.
People who don’t wear shoes indoors and keep their floors clean generally put their socks on in their bedroom after they got out of bed and their shoes on in the entryway when they’re about to go outside.
You know, people who aren’t animals.
sock>sock>slipper>slipper<slipper<slipper>shoe>shoe
wearing slippers inside just moves the question to slipper<slipper<shoe>shoe> or slipper<shoe>slipper<shoe>
Y’all wear socks in the house?!
In the winter its unthinkable not to but in the summer it’s unthinkable to wear socks. Why did my ancestors choose to settle down in Ontario where the weather is one extreme or the other
I love the extremes because you never get one extreme for too long. Just when the dark cold of winter starts to seep into your soul, spring rolls around, then when the storms and rain start to get too much the hot hot summer hits, then the mornings become crisp and the leafs turn every color of the rainbow for the warm seasons’ last hurrah before it dives into a winter wonderland again
I guess it depends how sweaty your feet can get.
Yes, because I have hardwood and tile floors. Shit’s cold in the winter.
That’s what house slippers, thick socks and some good rugs are for. Even if somehow you have a special pair of shoes that you only wear inside and never outside for the obvious hygiene reasons, they are probably bad for your feet compared to walking barefoot.
That’s what house slippers, thick socks and some good rugs are for.
You can accomplish the same thing with just normal socks though. Slippers-without-socks is a sweaty stinky nightmare and with socks is just a hat on a hat, thick socks have the same sweat problem unless your springing for merino wool which is expensive (especially for something as transitory and utilitarian as socks), and good rugs are really fucking expensive and only make sense in certain parts of the house.
Also, sliding around pretending to ice skate.
I rarely take my socks off when I take off my shoes (unless they’re wet). Not out of principal or anything, out of laziness. Later I might decide I don’t feel like wearing socks any more and then take them off.
But I don’t put socks on in the first place, unless I’m about to go put on shoes. If I’m not wearing socks and my feet are cold I’ll get my slippers.
compression socks on right after i get up ◡̈
Do you not?
Nope, never
👉👈 But some of us DO live like animals…
I’m straddling the line between having my normal tech job and embodying the meme of the resume/linkedin that transitioned from Senior Architect at Microsoft to goose farmer.
That plus the AuDHD means I am deep into like 10 different projects at home, half of which involve the critters.
What can I say? Sometimes I’m a dirty boy.
When you live in a very small, uncarpeted apartment, the line between the entryway and the rest of the dwelling becomes fuzzy and permeable.
You do you. You don’t need to pass such harsh judgment on other people for what they do.
Ya freak.
IDK who downvoted you but they missed the obvious joke. Have my upvote.
This is my Roman Empire. When I find out people live with their shoes in the house I don’t want to visit them again. Your willingness to drag the outside fecal matter on the floors of your supposedly clean house is a huge red flag about you as a person for me.
