      I rarely take my socks off when I take off my shoes (unless they’re wet). Not out of principal or anything, out of laziness. Later I might decide I don’t feel like wearing socks any more and then take them off.

      But I don’t put socks on in the first place, unless I’m about to go put on shoes. If I’m not wearing socks and my feet are cold I’ll get my slippers.

      Yes, because I have hardwood and tile floors. Shit’s cold in the winter.

        That’s what house slippers, thick socks and some good rugs are for. Even if somehow you have a special pair of shoes that you only wear inside and never outside for the obvious hygiene reasons, they are probably bad for your feet compared to walking barefoot.

          That’s what house slippers, thick socks and some good rugs are for.

          You can accomplish the same thing with just normal socks though. Slippers-without-socks is a sweaty stinky nightmare and with socks is just a hat on a hat, thick socks have the same sweat problem unless your springing for merino wool which is expensive (especially for something as transitory and utilitarian as socks), and good rugs are really fucking expensive and only make sense in certain parts of the house.

      In the winter its unthinkable not to but in the summer it’s unthinkable to wear socks. Why did my ancestors choose to settle down in Ontario where the weather is one extreme or the other

        I love the extremes because you never get one extreme for too long. Just when the dark cold of winter starts to seep into your soul, spring rolls around, then when the storms and rain start to get too much the hot hot summer hits, then the mornings become crisp and the leafs turn every color of the rainbow for the warm seasons’ last hurrah before it dives into a winter wonderland again
