Sock/sock then shoe/shoe. Because I'm not a psychopath...

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

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.

I like to be different and go shoe/sock

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Sock/sock, then shoe/shoe, because the shoes are in a different room. Walking around in shoes indoors is a big nono.

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago

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.

[-] fork@feddit.online 3 points 5 hours ago

Depends on my mood. I'm a moody person.

[-] AMoralNihilist@feddit.uk 38 points 10 hours ago

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

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.

[-] toomanypancakes@crazypeople.online 34 points 11 hours ago

Shoe/shoe then sock/sock so your shoes don't get dirty

[-] GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

Makes sense - socks are way cheaper than shoes!

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 8 hours ago

Sock/sock, then shoe/shoe. If you had to RUN FOR YOUR LIFE in the middle of putting on shoes, would you rather have one shoe on or two socks on?

[-] one_old_coder@piefed.social 21 points 11 hours ago

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?

[-] zewm@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

My shoes stay at the door and never used in the house.

So sock sock first then shoe shoe.

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 4 points 10 hours ago

Maybe it's cultural but I don't understand why would anyone wear shoes at home.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 9 hours ago

I don't understand why anyone would wear socks at home, either.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

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!!!

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Cold floors.

Also allows for doing cool slides on hardwood/linoleum.

[-] zewm@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

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.

Shoe/shoe.

Take it sleazy.

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

Socks are for fops. Barefoot or sandals. I put them on one at a time.

[-] allywilson@lemmy.ml 10 points 11 hours ago

Sock/sock, shoe/shoe. I'm not a monster.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

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

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 9 hours ago

it's a very temporary state of affairs, you understand

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 2 points 8 hours ago

It is too damn long!

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 11 hours ago

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.

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

Sock/sock shoe/shoe. Because having one foot warmer than the other while I'm tying my laces is unreasonably annoying.

[-] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 3 points 8 hours ago

socks. I walk around in socks before I go up and put on shoes.

[-] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Socks first then shoes. My brain prefers to take care of similar tasks when repetition of several steps is involved.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 9 hours ago

sock shoe, because that foot is already up in the "operating theatre" so to speak

then the other sock and shoe

one foot at a time

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 9 hours ago

After reading the other replies I feel the need to elaborate: I don't wear socks without shoes. Ever. The point of a sock is to protect the shoe from the foot.

Sock shoe, sock shoe, because I have a golden retriever and don't want her fur on my socks.

[-] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 hours ago

Ooooh valid

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 8 hours ago

here is the thing. I think the meatheads argument is better but I still prefer to do it like archie.

[-] anothermember@feddit.uk 7 points 11 hours ago

I'm rarely in the position where I put my shoes on at the same time as my socks. Socks go on when I get dressed, shoes go on when I go out, unless maybe I'm camping in a small tent getting dressed rarely coincides with when I go out. I assume this is the case for most people.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Normal shoes I'll do sock/sock shoe/shoe. For lace up calf length boots I'll do sock/boot sock/boot because it's a whole process and if I don't adjust the sock just right it gets super bunched or overly tight on the toesies.

So, really, it depends on the context.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Sock Sock Shoe Shoe.

because I'm not a fucking lunatic sociopath.

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 5 points 9 hours ago

Came here to make the exact same comment. Now I just have to upvote it.

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Neither. Sock/shoe then sock. The joys of edema..

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Socks then shoes.

In the winter I often switch from regular socks used with shoes on cleared sidewalks to warmer socks and boots when working in snowy spots. Even then I switch both socks out before putting on either boot. Mismatched socks feel so wrong.

[-] Little1Lost@gehirneimer.de 1 points 7 hours ago

sock/sock then shoe/shoe and if needed shoesock/shoesock

[-] probable_possum@leminal.space 4 points 10 hours ago

Just call and ask.

[-] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago

This was on an episode of Archie Bunker.

Socks first. Some days I don't go outside at all but am wearing socks around the house.

[-] THE_GR8_MIKE@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

My shoes aren't usually next to my bed in the morning.

A changing bench I designed and am currently finishing. Current shoes go on the surface next to the pad. Additional shoes for winter, dress shoes, etc. go below. Slide-out hamper in the middle.

I put on one sock and if I'm putting on my shoes at the same time, I then put on a shoe, because my leg is up on my knee so why switch back and forth? The shoe is right there next to me, so I put it on. Also, apparently I'm a "savage" for choosing to wear shoes in my own house. So be it. RAWR!
