Sock, sock shoe, shoe.

Usually because I put my socks on in the bedroom, but my shoes are by the back door: i don't put them on unless I am going outside.

AMoralNihilist@feddit.uk · 55 pts · 1d (1 reply)

Shoes belong in the entryway. Socks in the bedroom. Socks will always be put on before shoes.

There are a couple of niche situations where one might put socks and shoes on at the same time/place, but the norm of socks first then travelling to the shoes dictates that socks first, shoes after.

The one exception is when for example, changing in a public space, or outside, where you don't want to get your sock dirty, so you put sock then shoe and then sock then shoe

Shoe/shoe then sock/sock so your shoes don't get dirty

GreyEyedGhost@piefed.ca · 3 pts · 1d

Makes sense - socks are way cheaper than shoes!

one_old_coder@piefed.social · 23 pts · 1d

Sock/sock and then shoe/shoe, BECAUSE the shoes may not be in the same room as the socks.

How do you like them apples?

neidu3@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 1d

Sock/sock, then shoe/shoe, because the shoes are in a different room. Walking around in shoes indoors is a big nono.

gedaliyah@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 1d (2 replies)

Anyone wearing one sock and shoe with one fully naked foot is either deeply deranged or some kind of alien pod person. It is a pale approximation of human behavior. Unless you are stumbling away from a grenade attack or something, there is no reason to ever exist like that, even momentarily.

Wearing shoes around the house is filthy.

lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 8h

I agree if they are outdoor shoes. When I heard that Americans wear shoes in the house, I was initially "WTF". However, someone explained to me that they wear indoor shoes, not the same shoes they wear outside

Sock/sock, shoe/shoe. I'm not a monster.

Malica@lemmy.zip · 11 pts · 6h

Socks first, then shoes. Mainly because I put my shoes on at the door and my sox on in the bedroom when I wake up.

wesker@lemmy.sdf.org · 10 pts · 1d

Socks, then shoes. My socks are stored in my bedroom, and my shoes near the entryway of my home. I'm not one of those filthy casuals who wears their shoes inside.

MimicJar@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1d

Sock, sock, show, shoe.

Sometimes you grab two socks and then one of the socks is wrong. I'm not walking around in one shoe to fix my sock problem.

zewm@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1d (10 replies)

My shoes stay at the door and never used in the house.

So sock sock first then shoe shoe.

muhyb@programming.dev · 5 pts · 1d (9 replies)

Maybe it's cultural but I don't understand why would anyone wear shoes at home.

zewm@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1d (1 reply)

No clue.y personal reasons are cleanliness and a personal hatred for wearing shoes. I don’t even like being in socks only. Whenever I can I’m barefoot. It’s just more comfortable for me.

muhyb@programming.dev · 2 pts · 1d

Unless the weather is cold I don't wear socks either.

Cold floors.

Also allows for doing cool slides on hardwood/linoleum.

My feet get chilly. Yes, I live in a hot climate. I think that's actually part of the problem because a lot of flooring here is tile which stays cold AF!!!

Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe · 0 pts · 1d (3 replies)

Circumstance.

If you're constantly going in/out, it's a waste of time.

And honestly it doesn't make any difference for me - my carpets get just as dirty just as fast whether I take shoes off or not.

I still take them off, but since I clean the carpets I know exactly how little difference it makes. It's a "feel good" exercise in my house.

alsimoneau@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 23h

ieGod@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 22h

You view cleanliness as a waste of time. That's disgusting.

muhyb@programming.dev · 1 pts · 1d

Waste of time and cleanliness don't get align though. It must be cultural then. I just cannot even think about how it would be so dirty wearing shoes in the house. In Eastern culture, the home should be clean and not a place you would enter with your shoes on.

Apytele@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 1d

sock/sock shoe/shoe because I put in my socks in the bedroom but don't put in my shoes until I get to the closet by the front door.

Cocodapuf@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 19h (2 replies)

Obviously sock sock, shoe shoe.

Because you grab your pair of socks from the drawer, unroll them, put one on, then you're still holding a second sock... It would be madness to just put down the sock you're already holding.

Finally, shoes, you left them... in some room in the house. Go find them.

AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 10h (1 reply)

I can do you one better about shoes. Despite my room being relatively clean, I still manage to lose my shoes. Otherwise, 100% agree.

Sock/sock, then shoe/shoe. Because I'm not a psychopath...

anothermember@feddit.uk · 8 pts · 1d

I'm rarely in the position where I put my shoes on at the same time as my socks. Socks go on when I get dressed, shoes go on when I go out, unless maybe I'm camping in a small tent getting dressed rarely coincides with when I go out. I assume this is the case for most people.

SreudianFlip@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 3h

If the floor is wet like at the pool, it's sock shoe sock shoe.

Any other time it's sock sock shoe shoe, because I am not tracking the outside world into my house or bedroom, and the shoes are at the front door.

Sock/sock, then shoe/shoe. If you had to RUN FOR YOUR LIFE in the middle of putting on shoes, would you rather have one shoe on or two socks on?

psud@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 6h

If you had to run and only had socks on you would regret not putting on your shoes

I don't think I have ever had to flee

Zorque@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1d

Normal shoes I'll do sock/sock shoe/shoe. For lace up calf length boots I'll do sock/boot sock/boot because it's a whole process and if I don't adjust the sock just right it gets super bunched or overly tight on the toesies.

So, really, it depends on the context.

RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1d

Shoe/shoe.

Take it sleazy.

Nemo@slrpnk.net · 6 pts · 1d (5 replies)

sock shoe, because that foot is already up in the "operating theatre" so to speak

then the other sock and shoe

one foot at a time

Nemo@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 1d (2 replies)

After reading the other replies I feel the need to elaborate: I don't wear socks without shoes. Ever. The point of a sock is to protect the shoe from the foot.

alsimoneau@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 23h (1 reply)

I don't understand the logistics.

Do you go to your bedroom, grab a pair of socks, walk with them in hand to the door, and then juggle them while putting everything on?

Nemo@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 22h

Yes, except for the juggling: I have a seat by the door like Mr. Rogers and change there.

My wife's dresser is in the bedroom, but there's not room for another, so mine is in the children's room with their dressers. But even when I was single I didn't keep my outside clothes right next to the bed, only housewear.

Socks then shoes.

In the winter I often switch from regular socks used with shoes on cleared sidewalks to warmer socks and boots when working in snowy spots. Even then I switch both socks out before putting on either boot. Mismatched socks feel so wrong.

psud@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 6h

Depends on the socks. Short socks it's sock, shoe, sock shoe. Long socks it's sock, sock, trousers, boot, boot

A changing bench I designed and am currently finishing. Current shoes go on the surface next to the pad. Additional shoes for winter, dress shoes, etc. go below. Slide-out hamper in the middle.

I put on one sock and if I'm putting on my shoes at the same time, I then put on a shoe, because my leg is up on my knee so why switch back and forth? The shoe is right there next to me, so I put it on. Also, apparently I'm a "savage" for choosing to wear shoes in my own house. So be it. RAWR!

Want to weigh in with one more sock/shoe situation: when I'm in the changing room at the pool and the floor around me is wet from me dripping all over, there is no other place to put a socked foot down, so it goes straight into the shoe.

farmgineer@nord.pub · 2 pts · 21h

In most cases socks then shows. My shoes are by the door so it doesn't make sense to do anything else; shoes are gross and not wearing them inside is better.

Exception: I injured my back and doing sock+shoe was easier but, still, by the door

If I’m going to work, sock/sock, shoe/shoe for what I would hope are obvious logistical reasons.

If I’m off, neither. I don’t actually care for footwear and if I have to venture out I have sandals and I don’t mind rawdogging the porch or lawn.

If I’m drunk it’s a free for all. Shoe/shoe, or Shoe/sock, or just sock, not necessarily where said sock is designed to go.
