Daily BE | Episode 90: Would you wear dress shoes without socks?

Have you considered wearing your dress shoes without socks in the summer? It’s a great look. Here’s what you need to know.

***

Going sockless can be a really awesome look. It lets your ankles breath and is eye-catching style. But there are a few things that you should know.

Obviously, your feet may sweat a little. And we’re all different, some guys sweat a lot from their feet and others not so much. Regardless, your best bet is to probably wear “no-show socks.” These are socks that don’t rise above the line of your shoes and therefore provide the illusion of going sockless, but without the sweaty feet.

In this video, Ryan also talks about the pros/cons of not wearing socks at all and about adding some talcum powder into your shoes to help keep your feet dry.

    These followers of fashion would wear crotch less trousers if some idiot trend setter told them to. It’s not so much the fashion that annoys me, but their obvious inability to be original and to realise just how pathetic they look whilst they’re thinking that the rest of us must be thinking, wow, I wish I could look like that! They’re no more than seriously affected attention seekers!

    I guess in 10 years from now, we will look at the suit without socks, the way we look now at the suit without tie. Common accepted, not necessary the best look.

    I think naked ankles are too much of a feminin thing for a male to consider. It is like nailpolish, necklaces or wearing pink. Things that got in male fashion at a time but were not for everybody.

    And let not forget: just as stockings with women, dress socks hide aways a part of the body that often not is looking at its best and will not get better with age.

    I would not throw away the socks too soon.

    I think anyone who don’t wear socks on shoes need a mental eval.

    Travesty! Not wearing socks or using no show socks is equally disgusting! Looks vulgar!

    You think your feet don’t sweat, but they do. The average foot gives off 1/2 cup of sweat per day.
    And the "no shows" you wear in the video we used to call "peds" back in the day – they used to give them free to people who were shopping for shoes, but hadn’t worn socks.

    Can this hot daddy do a video on speedos and sheer/silk socks?

    This is the most senseable video on this topic I have seen. Not wearing socks or the sockless look is now more of a accepted style now. I have worn different shoes without socks since the 2000’s. Up until recently, I have started to wear the "no show sock" instead of not wearing any socks at all. I mainly wear the brogue and leather lace up footwear. Sock style and technology have changed to provide the style and a better comfort level for the feet. I still do wear some shoes without and socks; just not all day long like before. On evaluating my leather shoes, I relized that the practice of not wearing any socks at all has had affect of premature wear on the leather on the insides of the shoe and additional creases on the leather overall. Also on during a trip that took me to a very humid climate had me take note in my practice of not wearing socks at all. I ended up purchasing a pair on the no shows; which I put on as soon as I purchased them. I remember the young lady working at the store saying that this type of sock also helped her in controlling the sweating while wearing Dr Martin oxfords without the foot powder; as she once wore those shoes always without socks.

    Emasculating? Get over it! Wearing shoes without socks is like wearing your pants down to you ankles.

  18. Alessio Lorenzi on June 5, 2020 at 6:14 am

    sexy uhaooo! smak your Feet , my Friend. God Bless You! Ale

  19. Goofball Paul on June 5, 2020 at 6:15 am

    No one wants to see bare ankles with a dress pant and dress shoes. Looks undressed and stupid.

    does your no-show socks slip off your foot during the day? i know the ones I have always does and it got annoying lol. 🙁 so an alternative I found is called Sole-socks. its a comfy insole made out of terry cloth which absorbs sweat/odor that you insert into your shoe and you can go sockless and protect the inside of your shoe. Kind of pricey but totally worth it.you should definitely check it out! Some pros is that you can also wash it for reuse

    I personally think wearing no socks with dress shoes is rank. Although it’s a good alternative and certainly more hygienic, I find no show socks repugnant and they remind me off women’s pumps. I don’t see the problem with good old fashioned, manly dress socks in traditional colour ways or in trendy, zany patterns. In summer I opt for cotton socks or those made of modal or bamboo, cool, wicking and if you have a foot odour problem then wash your feet well and twice daily. Use soaps with botanical but unfeminine scents such as lime or coconut. Wear foot powder or better yet foot spray, spray your freshly washed feet before you don your socks and spray inside your shoes too, ideally the night before you wear them!

    I can’t stand sweaty feet so if I need to wear sandals I wear socks, but haven’t the need in years.

  23. soxster101 on June 5, 2020 at 6:25 am

    Bad look! Socks rule;

  24. Eddie Duarte on June 5, 2020 at 6:29 am

    real men dont wear socks. the whole point of going sockless is to be totallly sockless & bare. Wearing no shows is being fake & phony. I never wear socks.
