I'm a "socks whenever possible because my feet are always cold plus walking in socks makes you quieter" person.
No socks at all times.
If I am sleeping and it's cold, blanket covers it all except for the feet.
Socks. And if I ever feel a single crumb through them I have to vacuum the entire house.
I don't like any exposed skin in temperatures below 23 °C.
I'll wear sockless sandals or espadrilles when the temperature is over 28° C.
Socks and my crocs!
My husband is the first and I’m at the ‘I learned to darn socks specifically to avoid that feeling’ level for the second. His ways disturb and frighten me.
Socks and shoes actually do nothing from stopping me feeling the microscopic floor crumbs. 😬
No pants neurodivergent...
Slides. It solves both.
The first one, 100%. The only non-awesome thing about autumn is the fact that I have to start wearing socks again. :(
I am 'no socks' except when the temperature dips into negatives, because I have these sweet slipper socks that make it possible for me to stay warm without turning the heater on.
Socks and shoes because I'm a "Socks must be worn with shoes or I'll die" ND but also a "nothing can ever touch my feet or I'll explode" ND
Second
I'm too lazy to fetch the socks from the drawer unless I need to go somewhere
Flip flops at christmas
Neither, thankfully
I like to know the floor dirt is there so I can scrub it off and know when its time to vaccume. No socks so I can feel my enemies presence and know when to act!
I'm the third: I can't stop myself from picking at my socks and they inevitably get holes in them from that so I just don't wear socks.
Yes
Socks only when I'm sleeping or wearing shoes
I don’t wear socks or shoes unless absolutely necessary. Sandals are fine, but if I can opt to not wear them, I do.
If I wear socks they are always knee socks. I can’t stand those little ankle high deals that leave a breeze up your pants leg.
Both? Slippers.
First
Neurodivergent this, ADHD that.
Y'all realize we are all similar and different than each other at the same time, right?
