No socks please

Must wear socks at all times, socks must not flop at the toe or they are sent to die a horrible death.

Floppy socks are to me a clearer sign of degeneracy than if I caught someone mixing poop with alcohol to make the poop last longer.
- Well... You certainly have a way with words... Some might characterize it as "slightly nauseating," but that still counts as 'a way' if you ask me.

I have 'i feel other people's piercings' sensory issues.

Look, she’s still not gonna let you feel her boobs.
As in, you feel compelled to touch other people's piercings, or you feel a sensation like you have the same piercing on your body?
- Looking other people’s piercings definitely gives me a slight sympathetic pain in the same spot on my body.
- Piercing, scars or any other noticeable thing like that in someone else gives me a sensation on the same spot on my body if I see/recognize/notice it. If someone gets punched, kicked or injured in a movie or such I also can get a similar sensation but to a lower degree if I frame it in my mind that it is fake, if someone visibly breaks a bone or gets injured in a sports game then that has a much more distinct, acute and entirely unpleasant sensation. I don’t watch much sports to keep that from happening.
  I believe it is a type of synesthesia called Mirror Touch.

Only socks with shoes. Can’t wear shoes without socks, but once the shoes come off the socks have to as well.

Same. I can't wear shoes without socks, and I can't wear socks without shoes. It's a both or neither situation.
Amen dude amen

Socks are required at all times, especially indoors, unless showering or in bed. No socks in bed. Socks may be taken off if my feet get too hot but the socks must be left nearby to put back on, and also feet cannot touch floor. Socks nearby can only be then used to retrieve new socks as socks should never be put back on once removed unless in an emergency such as getting too hot.

Ideally said socks are then inside slippers to provide additional insulation from evil floor textures, but no slippers without socks. Also socks can never be pure white, that is disgusting, socks must be ideally black, but dark is fine as long as not majority white fabric. Socks must be tight enough to not move, but also not too tight as to cause discomfort. Also that inside seam near the toes must never be noticeable. If it is, those are coming off immediately and getting thrown away.

Boy this sounds insane when I type out all my rules…

Eh, not insane. Except for no socks in bed. The socks must be perfectly clean and dry to be bed socks, they cannot have touched any other surface before being worn in bed. The inside of the washing machine and the basket are ok surfaces, though.
- Same; I have bed socks and house socks, and if the bed socks touch the floor anywhere outside the bed they become the new house socks

..........neither? Why do people keep asking how autistic my ADD is? Seriously.

I prefer just wearing socks with no shoes when I play drums, so I can feel the pedal, and without them my feet will be cold on the metal. Is that what you mean sensory issues?

It's not a sensory issue - I just like wearing socks. Not everything needs to be pathologized.

But do you get unexplainable discomfort when you aren't wearing socks? That's the sensory issue. If you don't get that, then it's just a preference.
you're in an adhd community, the assumption is that it is indeed a sensory issue.
- I might be a person with ADHD in a ADHD community but that doesn't mean that I need to view everything through that lens. ADHD explains many things in my life but not all things. It might be a sensory issue for some but I'm talking about myself here. Me disagreeing with a meme is not an attack on your identity.

Neither. Must wear socks when in the mood for socks.

Socks all the time. All the time. all the fucking time. If socks didn't get wet in the shower I'd wear them in there.

Edit: actually, thinking about it, wet socks are probably worse than anything. Like buzzing insects make my brain itchy and my spine tickle, but wet socks do something far far far worse.

Socks bad, shoes bad

They are feet prisons.

Bare feet club represent.

We rally against the evil places that require shoes to enter. Boo them!

Socks on all times, sometimes thigh highs cause I'm homosexual like that B)

Shoes require socks, that’s fine. If I’m not wearing shoes the socks come off. This makes going to friends homes sometimes awful if I’m wearing just socks. Sweaty prisons

toe socks are the answer
- Absolutely not. Not only it is a hot prison but now each toe is in solitary confinement. Not for me
Have you tried wool or cotton socks? I'm talking socks with NO polyester or anything else like it in there. It might help with that damp feeling.
Take slippers with you. I do that for some friends apartments that have cold floors

What about "socks must have broken elastic", "socks must be tight" and "both socks must be the same"?

Socks must be tight and go as high up the calf as possible.
Socks must not be loose, must not be too tight, must stop below ankle, and must never be matching colors

I have socks can only be worn inside out sensory issues. The seam is evil. The seam cannot touch my toes. Get the seam away from me, the seam is like nails on a chalkboard, if I feel the seam all I can think about is the seam, the wiggly, stupid, always there, annoying, ever-present seam. Fuck you, seam.

But if I'm at home I'm naked. Just straight up.like, not no socks, no clothing at all

Oh, I've never tried them inside out...
- Then you've never lived.
  Also are you that poem for your sprog? From the place that shall not be named?
Inside out socks is the answer! The seam truly is evil and I can't understand why no one else seems to notice.
I expect many of the "no socks" people would be happier if they just turned them inside out.
*(For anyone looking to try this, I've been told you need to start with new socks, you can't convert right-side in socks to inside-out socks.)
- Oh my god, I couldn't imagine right side out socks being used inside out. The pills. It would be like having hundreds of little seams always touching your toes. My head hurts just thinking about it.

Any "underwear sensory issues" folk in the house? I do not mean that in any sort of sexy way but in a "dear God get it off me" way.

100%
underwear is for going outside, and even then only for scenarios where I'll be around many people

I like to subvert expectations by only ever wearing one sock.

I feel like I'm in your camp, but we also hate each other.
I'll wear socks for a bit, get annoyed, take them half off, therefore I'm wearing 2 halves, thus, 1 sock.
If I take them fully off my toes get the chills

Socks suck

Socks ~~suck~~rock
FTFY

Depends lol, I sometimes hate the feel of socks and other times I need the extra warmth lol

Yes.

I have must wear socks at all times UNTIL I'm suddenly all at once done with them then I MUST take them off

I have "beaten as a child because I complained about my socks too often and now it doesn't matter if I wear them or not because it makes me equally anxious either way" sensory issues

I guess I don't have this one. I don't like wet socks. I'm pretty sure few do.

Avoid at all costs, literally

I wear sandals year round

I fucking hate wearing socks but ever since I got COVID my feet are always cold, so now I wear socks and still hate it.

Socks all the time..but not the ones with stitches on the toes! That's unbearable!

I've worn these sandals pretty much exclusively for the past ~7 years. I'm on my third pair.

Site hijacks the back button, scummy
I'm glad they work for you, but I would not buy these purely because of the pseudoscience nonsense, regardless of how comfortable they are.
features our proprietary Grounded Conductive Laces™ and iON SYNC® earthing plug. These innovative elements create an electrical bond with the earth, mimicking the barefoot experience.
How It Works:
Grounded Conductive Laces™: Stainless-steel-lined laces and a copper lace plug weave grounding properties directly into the sandal’s design.
iON SYNC® Earthing Plug: A conductive rubber plug at the mid foot facilitates electron transfer from the earth to the sole of your foot.
- Yeah they cater to the woo-woo crunchy people because that's the demographic that is likely to discover "alternative" footwear. I met one of these people on a hike, which is why I even knew they existed.
  I saw that they looked comfy and that you could run in them, so I got some.

I'm a no socks is too cold, socks is to hot, so I have to constantly be taking them off and on.

no socks, but not as sensory issue

socks just aren't practical or useful. they make walking on some floors annoying, and since I go outside in sandals/slippers (this is my sensory issue, normal shoes are never comfortable) I'd have to take them off and on frequently. I don't need the warmth where I live.

Both. If I somehow get forced into the other socks mode, I must stay in it at all costs.

"Ow, that nail has pierced the bottom of my foot and I don't like it" is a sensory issue of sorts.

Do socks prevent this
- If they're thick enough and the nails are small enough.
  My carpet came up off the board once and exposed little nails used to pin it down. Didn't realize until I walked over it barefoot.
  And now I've got the feeling of nails in my feet haunting me whenever I'm not wearing socks.

I hate socks on my little paws. So I just don't usually wear them unless I have to go into work. I also exclusively wear bearfoot shoes because I hate when the front of my paws are scrunched up.

I only wear socks when I have to, and then they have to match exactly. Otherwise, barefoot and flip flops as much as possible.

Socks with shoes 100%, flip flops/thongs/sandals 0%

I'm a recovering indoor shoe wearer, so socks are like my harm reduction. But I'm trying to wear them (and shoes) less in the house, because I believe it's better in the long term for your feet and back muscles. At least it feels like more work to me, and so it's probably good for me.

Wear socks all the time except in bed, unless feet are icey.

Team socks, and if I need to be productive: socks, shoes and pants must be tight. Otherwise is couch potato mode and cannot function.

I have unexplainable discomfort if I'm not wearing socks. The only other person I've known to experience that is my mom, and we are both adhd.

Socks for feet that are not round blobs

Socks at all times. The plain black ones that end right above the ankle and I change them about 3 times a day even if I've spent all day sitting at my desk.

I took a while to toughen up my feet, did some barefoot hiking and trail running. Now it honestly doesn't bother me. You can just get in the mood that, my feet are cold and that's fine. So I guess I wear socks when I want to.

wool stirup-ankle warmers finger shoes.

socks when no braincells, unless the floor is pretty clean. then warmers or barefoot.

Natural fibers only unless sport material. Too many brands sneaking polyester and acrylic in. Sweatmakers.

It costs so to opt out of plastic...

must have same size/tension. DIY taught me such.

"Can't fucking decide" sensory issues

I can’t do work without slippers on.

If I’m just sitting at my desk in socks my brain does not connect.

If When I'm not wearing socks I get foot cramps.

depends on the socks, how hot is it today

also the "am i a goblin-halfling hybrid today, or am i feeling pretty" dilemma

yeah, like the other guy said

don't remind me of socks

Used to wear no socks at all, had the stinkiest imaginable shoes, always damaged, lots of foot fungus and other feet-related health problems.

Now I'm wearing a fresh pair of sports-compression-socks every day and it's heaven for my feet.

Do not remind me that socks exist

Socks are worn for 99% of my waking hours. They only come off in specific circumstances, normally involving water.

The socks must be well-fitting and put on straight, pulled up to their natural height and tightness. I prefer socks that come halfway up my shins, and I only wear ankle socks when working out.

The socks must be a matched pair. No mixing between different colours, cuts, brands, etc.

No holes allowed; if a sock gets a hole of any size, it immediately goes in the garbage. The widowed sock goes on my dresser until an appropriate mate is made by the splitting up of another pair.

On the other hand, I never sleep in socks under any circumstances. I find I get too warm.

I somehow have both issues.

Yes

socks alone make my feet too hot, but shoes are fine. is that a sensory issue?

Socks are oppression from society.

I read about some surprising statistics over here. One of the leading causes of death: accidents at home. On top of that list: wool socks in the winter. Yeah I've slipped and fallen before, and I dread that, and I don't wear socks at home, thanks

Depends on the season. Flip-flops all summer, boots (with socks) all winter.

Hobbit feet

I used to sleep with socks on, so there's your answer. Unwashed, smelly socks.

Socks please, I have cats, cats track litter and I hate their cute little faces

I'm of the camp "yes socks please," unless it's very hot out. We're talking 30C+ with the AC at full blast.

Sock, but bigger socks or booties over those to keep them clean. My house is clean. Idk why I’m like this.

I was a "socks at all times" person but then I learned my constant sock wearing was causing some minor foot problems and found love for the feeling of my feet being free of socks so now I'm strictly "socks exactly half of the time" kinda person. My family isn't sure what to make of actually seeing my bare feet from time to time now since neither they nor I ever did see my feet before very recently

Usually socks because my feet get cold easily but they come off if it's warm and if I've swept the floor recently. Can't stand stuff sticking to my feet while I'm walking around.

Sandals only unless there is literally snow on the ground.

Never liked socks much. Wore them sporadically.

Then I got neuropathy. Feels like I am wearing steel wool. Been years now and I will never wear them again.

I have slippers for when I visit which is rarely anyhoo.

indoors? no socks ever outdoors? always knee highs <3

I love socks, but nowadays any sock size over 44-45 is 44-45. Buy "large socks" 47? Still 44-45. 52? Believe it or not, still 44-45.

I'm like 45-46 and it sucks. God I'd love a pair of thick beautiful socks.

While they are a US brand and are very likely out of the question for the foreseeable future, Darn Tough does those larger sizes. So, they are out there. Just need to find an non-US brand.
- If anyone know a European version I'm all for it, but you see even here they sell 46-49, I mean 46 would be maybe a little tight, 49 I would swim in them!
  The "normal" size gets 41-42 though, only 2 "steps".
  Thanks though! The search goes on...
Knit your own!
I recently took up knitting and knitted my first pair of socks for a friend. She loves them.
Never fucking again! What a pain! Literally, I kept tapping myself in the stomach with the double pointed needles.
- Ha ha you're selling it badly 😁 but I'll remember it if I become too desperate...
  Nice work BTW.

Almost always

I just glanced down at my feet. I remembered to desock before I passed out.

I wear "toe" shoes that don't need socks most of time. The calluses on the balls of my feet sometimes get too dry and tear holes in my socks, which gets a little frustrating. I usually can't stand the sensation of most socks, but I am good with my injijis or the comfy smart wool socks for boots. I can't wear any socks to bed as they get twisted and cut off circulation. So, unless if I absolutely need them for my footwear, or it gets too cold, I am not wearing them.
