There are shoes that are designed to be worn without having to wear socks. Slippers, sandals, and certain styles of canvas shoes do not look good when worn with socks. On the other hand there are also shoes that look great with them, like with athletic or rubber shoes.

There is more to wearing socks than just adherence to fashion. Socks provide additional cushioning and bounce to the feet. Even if yours are already very comfortable shoes, you will be more at ease if you wear thick socks when jogging or playing basketball, for instance. It is easier to pivot the feet when doing a sharp turn. The friction between the skin of your feet and the stiff areas of the shoes (usually along the edges of the vamps and on the joints of the toes) is reduced. With socks, calluses are less likely to develop for hardcore runners and sports players.

One primary advantage of socks is their absorbent nature. When enclosed in compact rubber shoes, feet will constantly release sweat especially if there is a rapid change in temperature (i.e. going outside at noon after spending a couple of hours inside an air-conditioned office). If a person will wear shoes without socks while going through physically demanding activities, the sweat on the feet will be directly absorbed by foot beds of the shoes. This is one of the main causes why shoes start to stink. It is far easier to remove dirt, oils and dried sweat from socks rather than from shoes. Sometimes you won’t be able to get rid of them completely, and that’s how they gain a permanently unpleasant odor.

These two are very credible reasons for wearing socks along with athletic shoes. Socks keep your feet ComfortableFoot.com and well protected, and they can help avoid bad feet odor or athlete’s foot.
