Depends on the environment. When camping, in a tent without a floor, putting on each shoe right after the sock allows parking the shoed foot on the dirt while putting on the next sock and shoe.
But putting on both socks and then putting on both shoes is the default.

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Camping is almost always a sock shoe, sock shoe. That way you keep your feet clean and your shoes out of the tent

I'm old, I'm fat, I'm lazy. I don't want to have to put my foot up on my knee twice as often.

When getting dressed at the local public pool I usually do this only because the floor is usually soaking wet.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

OK this I allow

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 57 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (6 children)

People who don't wear shoes indoors and keep their floors clean generally put their socks on in their bedroom after they got out of bed and their shoes on in the entryway when they're about to go outside.

You know, people who don't live like animals.

[–] BeardedBlaze@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Y'all wear socks in the house?!

[–] OR3X@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Yes, because I have hardwood and tile floors. Shit's cold in the winter.

How do you keep from sliding around in socks?

You do you. You don't need to pass such harsh judgment on other people for what they do.

Ya freak.

Wet or dirty floors invite to completely dress one foot first.

Even so, I will sock, step on shoe, sock, put on shoe, put on other shoe. I would never, in any imaginable circumstance, have a sock and shoe on one foot while the other is bare. That is just insanity.

For me personally I change outfits several times a week in a public bathroom, so my main goal is simply to avoid letting my socks or any of my other clothing touch the floor.

Corollary to this, I actually complete one foot start to finish before moving on to the next. So at the halfway point I am fully wearing a new sock and shoe on one foot, while the other is still wearing my old sock and shoe

Perhaps, or maybe someone needs to find an alternative type of wankerchief.

Sock > shoe > sock > shoe > underwear > pants > shirt.

P.S. why does naked except for shoes and socks feel MORE naked then just naked?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 20 points 2 days ago

It reminds you that the rest of you is naked.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Socks and shoes only gives you the feeling that you're going to go places while naked

My socks are in my bedroom and my shoes are by the door because I'm not a savage who tracks shit into my home. Am I supposed to just carry socks around while I get my shit together to go out?

My shoes are by my front door so both socks first makes sense; there's no reason to carry. But not wear, my socks to the entryway

One day, you will.. Your knees will go and it'll just be easier to only change your position twice rather than four times...

If you're wearing shoes inside the house you're all kinds of fucked already anyway.

Who puts on shoes right after putting on socks in the first place?

[–] somewhiteguy@reddthat.com 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

People who are putting on socks and shoes to be presentable outside of their house and have been barefoot or in sandals up to this point.

I put my socks on as soon as I get out of the shower, just after my underwear and undershirt. I don't put my shoes on until just before I leave my apartment.

Archie Bunker got very upset when he saw his son-in-law doing sock, shoe, sock, shoe. The son's closing argument was along the lines of, "What if we're both halfway done and there's a fire, so we have to run outside? The fire department is spraying water all over. Your feet get soaking wet because you're in your socks. But I have one shoe on, so I can hop and stay dry."

Sock shoe sock shoe is only valid when you're on a dirty floor (eg a beach), hopping around awkwardly on one foot, trying to stay as clean as possible
