Sandals and socks - comfort and style or crime of fashion?

[Robert_S]

The only thing worst than sandles and socks is tree surgeons walking around the apf in full ballistics, braces and cutting boots wtf is that about

 

I would have to say I succumbed to socks with sandles on a recent holiday and still feel guilty

You're through to the next round, Big J.

Finally, some recognition!

 

Though I should have known that with Howard from TBBT as your avatar, that you would of course be a style icon!

Hey, listen.

I'm an ugly, 45 year-old, married man from Ireland - what do I have to worry about style and fashion for?!

If truth be told, I reckon many of the nay-sayers on here aren't super models either.

On the beach in Ireland, the rain's a bit cold so what do you do?

 

You tuck your T-shirt into your speedos, that's what you do!

Curious to see the response to sandals and socks here. I have much fun winding my wife up with various threats of wearing them, and she has even said that if we move to Germany I am allowed to.

 

I argue that as well as being sensible, comfortable footwear (well ventilated, hygienic and not to mention, pretty dapper), I am genetically programmed to want to wear them. Not only am I half German, but my father (who is English) is a serial wearer of them.

 

Now perhaps I've had the sandals and socks are fabulous epiphany a little earlier in life than most, but I scored my first major victory in the battle to wear them last night as we went for a 15 minute walk up the pitch black lane with the dog and managed to wear a nice grey sock and grey sandal combo. Kathryn was horrified that we might meet someone, but relented.

 

On a separate tack, I thought that they would be an excellent marketing angle for work. Everyone knows that the Germans are very good at most things, and in particular sawmilling. If I were to conduct my daily business at the yard in sandals and socks, not only would I be comfortable, cool and sauve, but it would give my customers a reassuring feeling that because I must be German, that I must know what I'm doing!

 

What do you lot think?

 

You will find that it is mandatory there is a Strumpfpflicht for you and just wait till she finds out she has to stop shaving the armpits:laugh1:
