And those no show socks can also have added cushioning for the heels. That's a plus.

I think if you want to wear any sort of shoe without socks you can. I am not sure why you feel you need society's permission.

It is a free country. Wear your shoes however you want to.

I have a pair of slip on Sketchers that really aren't meant to be worn with socks. I never have any kind of foot odor except when I've worn those sneakers. It took me awhile to get used to wearing a closed shoe without stockings or pantyhose. Luckily my feet don't sweat but I sometimes put a little bit of foot powder in my shoe to make them more comfortable.

Lingering foot odor, sneaker becomes a swamp for athletes foot. Dont do it! Invest in tennis socks, cotton only , they come in colors.

That no socks look is a no no.

Me, too. I wear the no-show stockings when I wear flats (rarely). I much prefer to wear real shoes with real socks.

I'm in the no-socks camp. Tennies go in the washer at least once a week, more often in hot weather. My feet are happy feet.

Eww, people out there actually wear shoes without socks?

Come on people, shoes with no socks was already an ancient concept back in 1986 and "Miami Vice."

You Crockett and Tubbs out there, put some socks on!

If you actually do any real exercise in sneakers without socks, you feet will get rubbed raw and you'll have blisters. It's much better to wear socks with closed toe shoes if you're going to be doing anything more than sitting around. And without socks, the sneakers will stink pretty badly. Some people consider that a plus.......but still, it's not a great thing. I would never wear socks with sandals, but I would never wear sneakers without socks for any length of time.

Wash your sneakers

I hardly ever wear socks unless I'm going to do a lot of walking or exercising and then I wear my athletic shoes. All of my shoes are flats, leather slip on style, including a pair of Sketcher sneakers. I don't have a problem with foot odor and my feet don't sweat. I've been pulling this off for about 10 years
