It’s the same as wearing gloves. It extends the season you can wear sandals. I live in Canada and if I didn’t wear socks and sandals I’d only have like three or four shoeless months.
Now naturally; the trick is owning some nice dress socks. I’m not a total heathen. Not with tube socks please.

SHOEBEE!!
It’s comfortable and I’m not trying to impress anyone.
Defs unpopular. It’s a no from me. Take your socks off ya lazy asses or slip shoes over your socks.
I’ve seen it enough to know it’s not going away.
Socks also really help with the smell issue
Sandals? Sure. But flip-flops? Wtf?? Doesn’t sound remotely comfortable unless you are wearing the toe socks.
socks with sandals. yes. socks with flip flops/thong sandals… so goddamn uncomfortable. like a toe wedgie
Socks with sliders is the BEST!!!
How are socks with flip flops comfortable
Legit: I prefer seeing socks with sandals than pants with sandals.
If you’re cold/cool, wear shoes xD
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American
Do you wear sock garters with them also?
Only with slides. I wear this year round.
Calling them “flip-flops,” on the other hand, should carry the death penalty.
I usually wear socks with crocs as they make my feet super sweaty. I don’t really wear crocs out and about tho.
I could maybe see that in regard to some sandals, but not thongs. Not only are you stretching the sock out weird, but it’s also uncomfortable af. And I’m sorry but all combinations of socks/sandals look incredibly dumb. So I’d have to concur that this is indeed an unpopular opinion. Good job 👍🏼
Wearing socks with flip flops or sandals is like wearing sweatpants under your swim trunks.
Wear whatever you like, we’ll just be over here pointing and laughing.
Not unpopular I think. I wear flip flops all the time except for snow and cold.
It is absolutely a fashion crime. That is a fact and the reason OP is posting this. The fashion police have issued warnings.
Practical? Isn’t the point of sandals to free the feet? Look like an idiot all you want, but I want the breeze on my toes.
Dress socks makes it SOO much worse! By a lot! Flip-flops are supposed to be casual in style and function. Putting on some old tube socks and then flip flops at least makes logical sense. You’re not trying to impress anyone.
Wearing dress socks with flip flops sounds tacky as fuck.
Great idea too – if you practice celibacy.
I suppose dress socks would be ok. But all I see on dads are filthy yellow socks
Birkenstocks with socks was THE fashion of my high school. And before that was Nike slides with socks.
Sandals are a definite yes.
I agree it’s practical and comfortable … but fashion isn’t dictated by logic
OP tucks in chunky sweaters, wears his pants 1 inch under his nipples, wears his “fancy” sneakers with a suit, and wears sweats to weddings and funerals.
What kind of socks are you wearing, though? The regular kind or the ones with toe slits between the big and index toes?
It is a fashion crime and I’m a shameless criminal.
Everyone should try out black socks with black slides.
I wear sandals because it is nice and warm outside. Socks defeat the purpose.
Now that I’m a dad is function over form. And I love the convenience of slipping my crocs on with my socks
It turns my stomach but im genx … so theres that. Its that big tube socks that came back that is most upsetting
Idk whether I’m supposed to up or down vote this but I totally agree. I love socks with my Birkenstocks
And best of all it keeps the dogs unseen by the public, as it should be.
