Sandals!

Post by rayb »

Is it still taboo to wear socks with sandals? I have arthritic big toes and without socks, sandals are uncomfortable. I really don't care but I don't want my wife getting embarrassed and nagging me. :) How about pop-socks?

We can always spot the foreigners as they wear socks with their sandals, especially the Dutch. =O: =O:

If missus complains ask her if she has some knee length skin coloured stockings you could use?? O** O**

When I see socks in sandals I cannot help thinking that it must be someone with terrible feet and toes wearing them =O: =O: But then again why care what others are thinking? O**
