    I do not for the life of me understand why people do this. Shoes: go great with socks and cold weather
    Thongs & sandles: go great without socks and warmer weather

    The avantages of thongs/sandles is that they have airflow and are easy to get on & off, wearing socks with them both hampers airflow and also are fully exposed to getting wet or dirty. Do you also wear a sweater over your bathers? A beanie over a sun visor? Breifs with your assless chaps?

      It stops the bottom of the sock getting dirty from the floor. Even a floor in a clean home will have small amounts if dust and/or pet hair, and walking around the house in socks makes dirty socks.
