Two socks or One sock, one shoe?

[standing_on_one_foot]

Know ye all - I'm praying for your soles.

:jam:
That is all I have to say to that. Too funny

TVOR,What a heel. Do your have four feet? You have two too many verses to your song if you don't. I'm surprised there is no one here who puts the shoes on first and then the socks.

Listen Lightkeeper, I've been patient with you for far to long. You know that as a Kentuckian, we don't take kindly to people telling us we have to wear shoes (those of us what own 'em). We do have a saying here that you might find amusing. When something doesn't fit quite right, we say that it "fits like socks on a rooster". Call it hillbilly humor.

TVOR

PS - loved the line about the heel. Darn it.

 

[Runt]

Of all the random...

Well, I usually wear flip flops... but when I wear real shoes I guess I put on both socks, then both shoes. Why? Because if I wear socks and shoes, it is generally because it is too cold to wear sandles, and being cold, I put on socks as soon as I wake up (if I wasn't already sleeping in them) to keep my feet nice and warm. Shoes come much later, when I actually intend to go outdoors, so both socks are obviously on long before the shoes.

Oh man - you're going to Hell!

So you are saying if you wear shoes they will "string" you up. My friend Henrietta says her roosters wear socks. Safety first, even in the henhouse. And she says they are everyting to crow about.

 

[The Voice of Reason]

Henrietta sounds like a wise woman, but methinks you wag your "tongue" to much. Your "One size fits all" approach to these threads is killing me. "Eyelet" that last remark go, because I don't want to start a cockfight. You might need to look that up in your "Oxford" dictionary.

Pardon the puns,

Both socks, then shoes (right foot first, always). I hate wearing shoes, so I only ever wear them outside (plus, it keeps the floors inside much cleaner...I hate vacuuming more than I hate wearing shoes). So, I'm generally running around with socks on for hours before the shoes go on (saves on nasty smelly feet and things like athlete's foot that way too - my feet like to breathe).

I hurt my back this time last year, and had to put my socks on by laying on my back and bringing my feet to my hands (well, as far as I could, which wasn't far), then flinging the open end of the sock at my toes and hoping it caught, before working it onto my foot. That was an adventure.

 

[jewscout]

Right foot sock then left foot sock then right shoe then left shoe. Unless it's the winter then i just put a new pair on before i go to bed and wear them the next day. :jiggy:

p.s. that dude is the coolest smilie ever :jiggy:

 

[martha]

Must have been a slow day at the forums eh Pah?

Ok, socks first. Left foot sock, right foot sock, then left foot shoe and right foot. Why, because I can.
I like Bastet had a back problem for quite some time. Hearniated disc they called it, pressing on the sciatic nerve at L5 disc. Trying to lasso your toes is truly a challenge, but first you have to try to rope your underpants around your feet. Not a pretty sight!


Socks...Huhhh
What are they good for?
Absolutely nuthin
Say it again!
Socks...woa, woa oh woa yeah
What are the good for?
Absolutely nuthin.

They all get so lost
In the washing machine.
Those blasted white ones
Are the hardest to clean!

Oh yeah.

Socks...Huhh
Good god yall
What are they good for?
Absolutely nuthin:jam:

Ok, who knows what song I just tried to imitate? (poorly though) Showing my age.


Joyfully,
Martha

 

[lousyskater]

both. sometimes i put both socks on and then then shoes, or i'll do the one sock, one shoe thing. i do them both equally.

Martha that song was called "WAR" good GOD y'all. And I believe the artist who performed that was Edwinn (Edwyn) Starr.

I actually have considered the question for many years. My Dad was a "both sock man" and I was a "complete foot" guy. It was part of the Archie Bunker show once and my role was in the "Meathead" character. I have even had a thread with the same question on another board.

But I fell better now!

I knew the song but couldn't place the word and I thought it was a Queen thing. You may have felt old mentioning it - but image how much older you feel when you can't remember things. :sigh: So live on, you young thing.

I have to admit I prefer no socks, no shoes.... if not that then sandles or moccasins. When I am forced to have socks and shoes then I go socks first. I can walk bare foot over just about anything, eaven for a short time in the snow. If I wear shoes too much I loose that toughness and get wimpy feet. :bonk:

I'm laughing, PW, I'm laughing. I couldn't be any more different than you on this one. I can't even walk around the house without shoes and socks on. To walk on smooth concrete with no shoes is absolute torture for me. I do like the feeling of my feet on grass - as long as I don't have my weight on them (like sitting in a lawn chair). I really don't see how some people can take that feeling of walking on gravel without shoes. I'd rather take a beating.

[HelpMe]

i wear my socks outside of my flip flops.

 

[FyreBrigidIce]

Right sock, repeat once or twice, shoe or boot then left sock, repeat once or twice, shoe or boot. The repeats depend on how cold my feet are or what the temperature outside is. My feet are always cold unless they are under my electric blankie.

 

[Feathers in Hair]

I used to get in trouble as a kid for not wearing socks. Well, also for not wearing shoes, but they get between you and the ground! *whines* Now, if forced to wear socks, I... well, I just wear shoes that don't require socks.

And TVOR!

I'm praying for your soles

That earns you a time out in the Pun-Penalty box! *grin*
