Sock/shoe, sock/shoe usually. I never wear socks unless I am putting on shoes to leave the house, so i collect the socks and shoes I’m wearing and put them on all at once right before I leave. Sock/shoe, sock/shoe minimizes the possibility of my socks picking up stray hair/lint/etc and shoving it into my shoes.
Sock, sock shoe, shoe.
Usually because I put my socks on in the bedroom, but my shoes are by the back door: i don’t put them on unless I am going outside.
Yeah socks first then shoes, because I’m not American so my shoes are by the door lol
Shoes belong in the entryway. Socks in the bedroom. Socks will always be put on before shoes.
There are a couple of niche situations where one might put socks and shoes on at the same time/place, but the norm of socks first then travelling to the shoes dictates that socks first, shoes after.
The one exception is when for example, changing in a public space, or outside, where you don’t want to get your sock dirty, so you put sock then shoe and then sock then shoe
100% this
Shoe/shoe then sock/sock so your shoes don’t get dirty
Makes sense - socks are way cheaper than shoes!
Sock/sock and then shoe/shoe, BECAUSE the shoes may not be in the same room as the socks.
How do you like them apples?
Anyone wearing one sock and shoe with one fully naked foot is either deeply deranged or some kind of alien pod person. It is a pale approximation of human behavior. Unless you are stumbling away from a grenade attack or something, there is no reason to ever exist like that, even momentarily.
Don’t underestimate people. My partner will walk around in a shirt with nothing on the bottom like fucking Winnie the Pooh.
This is the best response in the thread!
Sock/sock, then shoe/shoe, because the shoes are in a different room. Walking around in shoes indoors is a big nono.
Wearing shoes around the house is filthy.
I agree if they are outdoor shoes. When I heard that Americans wear shoes in the house, I was initially “WTF”. However, someone explained to me that they wear indoor shoes, not the same shoes they wear outside
If the floor is wet like at the pool, it’s sock shoe sock shoe.
Any other time it’s sock sock shoe shoe, because I am not tracking the outside world into my house or bedroom, and the shoes are at the front door.
You wear socks to the pool?
Oh, you don’t use the dressing room?
Well you are right, at our local pool you leave shoes at the racks before walking barefoot down the hallway to the dressing rooms, but when leaving the pool I still go sock-shoe because that is a public outdoor shoe mat.
Similar principles to food-safe cross-contamination prevention.
Sock/sock, shoe/shoe. I’m not a monster.
Socks first, then shoes. Mainly because I put my shoes on at the door and my sox on in the bedroom when I wake up.
Left sock right sock left shoe right shoe
I dont want a shoe and sock on one foot and nothing on the other, how does that not drive you nuts
it’s a very temporary state of affairs, you understand
It is too damn long!
Sock, sock, show, shoe.
Sometimes you grab two socks and then one of the socks is wrong. I’m not walking around in one shoe to fix my sock problem.
My shoes stay at the door and never used in the house.
So sock sock first then shoe shoe.
Maybe it’s cultural but I don’t understand why would anyone wear shoes at home.
No clue.y personal reasons are cleanliness and a personal hatred for wearing shoes. I don’t even like being in socks only. Whenever I can I’m barefoot. It’s just more comfortable for me.
Unless the weather is cold I don’t wear socks either.
I don’t understand why anyone would wear socks at home, either.
Cold floors.
Also allows for doing cool slides on hardwood/linoleum.
My feet get chilly. Yes, I live in a hot climate. I think that’s actually part of the problem because a lot of flooring here is tile which stays cold AF!!!
Circumstance.
If you’re constantly going in/out, it’s a waste of time.
And honestly it doesn’t make any difference for me - my carpets get just as dirty just as fast whether I take shoes off or not.
I still take them off, but since I clean the carpets I know exactly how little difference it makes. It’s a “feel good” exercise in my house.
Clearly your don’t live somewhere with snow or sand or dirt
You view cleanliness as a waste of time. That’s disgusting.
Waste of time and cleanliness don’t get align though. It must be cultural then. I just cannot even think about how it would be so dirty wearing shoes in the house. In Eastern culture, the home should be clean and not a place you would enter with your shoes on.
Socks, then shoes. My socks are stored in my bedroom, and my shoes near the entryway of my home. I’m not one of those filthy casuals who wears their shoes inside.
