I get the sense that such a combo is far more usual in Europe than over here. Socks & sandals used to be pretty ordinary in the States, maybe up to the 80's/90's or so. These days I think only older folks would be seen wearing those, in most urban areas, anyway.
Personally, I wear sandals all year round and love 'em. In cold weather (maybe -10°C), I reluctantly add socks!
That combo is generally considered to be a fashion crime in France, it’s viewed as something worn by « German tourists ». :-) But ① I love socks and ② sandals are way more comfortable with socks.
I’m impressed by your resistance to cold; as much as I like sandals, I would have a hard time wearing them past September.
True enough, altho I do like the way my feet grip on to sandals, something which improves my sense of balance. The flip side is maybe that the bottom of my feet are not exactly beautiful. 😄 (btw, cool # emoji... I've never seen those!)

In truth, my disease produces inflammation in my extremities, so my feet typically feel hot. The cold and snow actually feels quite nice... up to a certain point.

What’s wrong with wearing a t-shirt under a shirt?

As long as nobody criticizes my beloved sock & sandal combo, we’re good.
