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 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.
This is the way, you can change pants and socks without sitting ^^

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.
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

Changing between regular socks and shoes and the ski variant, in the car
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 don’t live like animals.
Y’all wear socks in the house?!
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.
How do you keep from sliding around in socks?
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 guess it depends how sweaty your feet can get.
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
compression socks on right after i get up ◡̈
Do you not?
Nope, never
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.
When you live in a very small, uncarpeted apartment, the line between the entryway and the rest of the dwelling becomes fuzzy and permeable.
👉👈 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.
Sock > shoe > sock > shoe > underwear > pants > shirt.
P.S. why does naked except for shoes and socks feel MORE naked then just naked?
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.
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 not wearing the sombrero?
You put your shoes on before your pants? That’s maniacal
One day, you will… Your knees will go and it’ll just be easier to only change your position twice rather than four times…
I put on socks long before I put on shoes. I loathe walking around barefoot.
i’ve been doing it this way for as long as i can remember… unless it’s gonna be boots instead of shoes, or if i’m not putting shoes on right away.
Just optimize it and do 1 movement
Get the pair of socks in one hand, bend, put both socks and since you are already there put the shoes on and tie
Sock-shoe-sock-shoe-pants.
Sock-shoe-pant, sock-shoe-pant
This one right here officer, lock em up!
No underwear, nice!
I’d actually be interested in seeing socks-pants vs pants-socks
Sock-pants is clearly superior, but pants-socks isn’t so bad if the pants aren’t too tight.
I know this is a joke but I still do this when wearing a suit with creased pants. Let’s you do up your laces and if you’re tucking the shirt you need to undo the trousers anyway. Keeps them looking crisp, at least when it’s an event you change into the suit right before.
Who puts on shoes right after putting on socks in the first place?
People who are putting on socks and shoes to be presentable outside of their house and have been barefoot or in sandals up to this point.
yeah but I don’t keep my socks by the door where my shoes are, they’re in my bedroom. so I put them on in my bedroom instead of carry them to the door
Same, put it all on in the closet or next to the bed, depending on current shoe location.
To go outside
People who don’t live in the cold?
Heh. Would blow their mind to see sock>sock>wool sock>wool sock>shoe>shoe.
But when it’s not cold there’s no need for socks?
Bare feet in shoes sucks.
So do socks and sandles
I do sock shoe sock shoe at the gym because I don’t want my socks on those grimey floors.
But at home it’s sock sock shoe shoe
I do sock shoe sock shoe at the gym because I don’t want my socks on those grimey floors.
See, that’s an acceptable circumstance for Sock Shoe Sock Shoe.
Yeah I do the same specifically getting in or out of ski boots in a parking lot.
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 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.
Depends on the environment. When camping, in a tent without a floor, putting on each shoe right after the sock allows parking the shoed foot on the dirt while putting on the next sock and shoe.
But putting on both socks and then putting on both shoes is the default.Camping is almost always a sock shoe, sock shoe. That way you keep your feet clean and your shoes out of the tent
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
I put my sock inside my shoe and wear them both together in a smooth motion.
That’s impressive skills
What kind of dirty weirdo does sock sock shoe shoe?? The clean socks inevitably touch the floor, dirty.
Edit: apparently it needs clarifying that you put the shoes AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE HOUSE where dirty shoes from the outside were previously removed. Y’all are crazy, where do you put shoes, on the bed!?
Clean your floors!
It’s clean… It’s also the place where we take off our outside shoes to put on inside slippers. It’s the dirtiest place of the house, why dirty the socks when you have a very normal clear solution?
Do you wear shoes inside? That’s why your floors are so dirty
I wear shoes in the place where I take them off and put them back in, it’s quite literally the context of the thread? It’s the entrance of the house.
How disgusting is your floor?
It’s called the entrance, outside shoes step there regularly.
Better dirty socks than dirty feet
Oh boy you are telling me that you are bare feet at the entrance of the house? In the place people with shoes take them off and inevitably step on with outside gunk? Don’t you have indoor slippers?
No, that’s why I put my socks on before I go out to put on my shoes.
Thank you for saving me the search. Also, we’re old. 👍
Glad this was already here. I’m not quite that old but the classics are classic for a reason. Almost one more month til Rob’s been gone for 6 months and the 25th anniversary of Carroll O’Connor’s death as well.
comedy gold
Another thanks. I remembered it and loved it.
Apparently it was improvised by the two of them.
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”
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.
