Sock/sock then shoe/shor because i keep my shoes by the door

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Shoe shoe sock sock for me.

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Sock shoe for me. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. There's no amount of sweeping and two Roombas that gets all the hair, even with hardwood flooring.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'm just barefoot most of the time

[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Sock/sock shoe/shoe. Because having one foot warmer than the other while I'm tying my laces is unreasonably annoying.

[–] AltheaHunter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Sock/shoe, sock/shoe usually. I never wear socks unless I am putting on shoes to leave the house, so i collect the socks and shoes I'm wearing and put them on all at once right before I leave. Sock/shoe, sock/shoe minimizes the possibility of my socks picking up stray hair/lint/etc and shoving it into my shoes.

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!

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Neither. Sock/shoe then sock. The joys of edema..

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Socks are for fops. Barefoot or sandals. I put them on one at a time.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

here is the thing. I think the meatheads argument is better but I still prefer to do it like archie.

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Socks first then shoes. My brain prefers to take care of similar tasks when repetition of several steps is involved.

[–] micgerne@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

I like to be different and go shoe/sock

[–] elephantium@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Sock/shoe then shoe if you're playing dwarf fortress...

[–] resterWink@lemmy.darkc0de.one 2 points 3 weeks ago

Why are am I being interrogated?

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

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.

[–] weps@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

sock sock shoe shoe

but sock shoe sock shoe makes sense to me movement wise so I might try it someday

[–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

Sock/Sock, then shoe/shoe

Feels more symmetrical. Plus, having one foot with a shoe with the other being barefooted feels awkward

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

Shoe, sock; shoe, sock, of course.

You all still do socks before shoes like little kids? Uh, ok. /s

[–] buttmasterflex@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

Sock sock while getting dressed, then moccasin moccasin for puttering around. Then it's shoe shoe with leaving home.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

This does not require an explanation, there is a correct answer and people doing it the other way are wrong.

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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.

[–] Little1Lost@gehirneimer.de 1 points 3 weeks ago

sock/sock then shoe/shoe and if needed shoesock/shoesock
