    Last year, from around November to February I did not wear shoes once, but school started and seeing as their only rule on what to wear is that of "you must wear shoes" I figured I'd go along with it..

    So the morning came of the first day of school, I rummage through my room trying to find any pair of shoes I may own, alas all I could find where a pair of sneakers I've had for 10 years.. but that's not the story, the story is the socks, man! I slipped on socks for the first time in months.. and wow.. the feelings associated, it's like my feet were being hugged by the most squishiest and softest of socks, and they weren't even new socks! I could easily feel the extra bounce in the step from the added layer of sockage, the feeling lasted a good few hours.. it's like my feet were saying thankyou for protecting them or something? Who knows..

    Anyway, I was just wandering, has anyone else gone without shoes for months and then slipped on socks and felt a similarly amazing feeling?
    It's been a good 2 months since I've worn shoes and summer is about to start + I won't have school next year so I'm going for an even longer time without shoes, but not going to lie.. really looking foreward to feeling this feeling again.

  3. Yeah, socks suck, I put on socks and an old pair of sneakers yesterday to go out on my bike. My feet felt like they were in a straight jacket! ;)

    Socks are for Winter - and only outdoors
    The snow and the raindrops have that effect, sadly so does the arthritis

    Oh, don't get me wrong guys, I love being barefoot, absolutely love it!

    But it was just the sheer amazement of this feeling of putting socks on that blew me away.

    Nah, it'd still be some sort of prophylactic on ones virgin (naked) feet. Not that i didn't do that as a kid with my mother's stockings. But i really didn't like it on the whole. (or her for that matter)...sorry.
     
  9. Sheer stockings? Does anyone still go through the hell of suspenders and stockings? The school I attended (back in the dark ages) insisted on wool stockings as part of the uniform. Times I would rather forget thank you. Stockings should be a banned word. ;)
     
  10. Any wonder that "stockings" and "stockades" are so similar?
     
  11. I mean, when I'm so completely pumped, and my blood is boiling, and I'm feeling so warm and fine and just about ready to........
    OH!
    Wait a minute.
    The feeling of SOCKS????
    I'm sorry.
    I thought it was the feeling of...you know.
    Never mind.

    When I am cold, I do like the feeling of socks...they warm me up instantly.

    I have poor circulation, so my feet really hurt when they get super cold. I actually can't sleep with cold feet...so in the winter, I love my warm, fuzzy socks

    i despise socks far more than shoes themselves. wearing socks alone makes me feel like if i was ill, i cannot wear them along with boots anymore (when i absolutely need foot armour) cause my feet got bigger and there is no room enough. if i wear socks in sneakers, after three hours both turn into deadly chemical MDW's and must be disposed of like hazardous waste. they suck but if anyone feels ok in them sweat bags it's fine to me.
