I have to wear shoes all day long because of a ankle/foot issue - the area where the calf tendon attaches to my heal is really sore and tender all the time. It can’t take the kind of pounding that walking barefoot causes.
I always wear socks because I have poor circulation. My feet are always cold
Funny story: when I was younger, I had a phobia of feet. It sounds dumb, but they just totally grossed me out. And my parents jokingly said I had a foot fetish. My cold brain used context clues to decide that the word “fetish” must mean “fear” and I used it as a fancy word for fear until I was like 24! I now think back to all the times I told people I had a fetish for paper cuts, bees, clowns, and turtlenecks. They must have thought I was into some interesting stuff!
I normally only wear socks if I’m wearing shoes. Plus I have this weird belief that wearing socks can trap negative energy so I go barefoot a lot lol. Especially in bed I can’t sleep with socks on Plus my feet get overwarmed too easy so it’s just more comfy and so free
I wear socks with shoes. If I’m laying about around the house I’ll sometimes leave them on…otherwise it’s barefoot. Or thongs. ( flip flops ). In winter socks not so bad for getting around the house!
