Chelly Posted March 17, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Nearly everyone packs sandals for cruises, right? At one time, wearing socks with sandals was a HUGE faux pas, attracting finger-pointing and snickering. Does anyone know if today, sandals and socks are an acceptable combination while cruising? What about in ports, especially Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLassie Posted March 17, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Living in Florida, no one here would wear "socks" with sandals! What's the point of wearing sandals??? I guess it's up to the person doing the wearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old As Dirt Mom Posted March 17, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi, Chelly: You mean, like this?:) http://media.timeoutnewyork.com/resizeImage/htdocs/export_images/620/620.x600.out.pubeye.jpg? I'm going to relegate myself forever here to "outside the pale" (now there's a phrase with an interesting etymology, BTW) by revealing my complete lack of fashion savoir faire and announcing that I not only wear socks with my sandals, but also with my Birkenstocks.....:eek::eek::eek: Guess what, I don't care:eek:. (It hasn't affected my sex life, yet).As far as I recall, lots of Europeans don't care, either. But don't listen to me, a self-acknowledged fashion pariah; listen to these folks: http://fashionsalon.blogspot.com/2008/10/socks-and-sandals.html If you're still worried, check out the fashion board here on CC: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowPrincess Posted March 17, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 17, 2009 M-a-M, don't your socks get all wet and grotty in Seattle if you're wearing them with sandals? (NOT a look I care for at all, BTW, but to each his/her own.... I'd never try to deliberately hurt someone wearing them, unlike SOME fashion trends :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old As Dirt Mom Posted March 17, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 17, 2009 M-a-M, don't your socks get all wet and grotty in Seattle if you're wearing them with sandals?....... :D) Our summers are a little cold, here. Also, the look is not considered "complete" unless you are holding a Starbucks coffee as part of the ensemble:D;) ps I won't ever wear socks/sandals on formal nights, promise ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinimadam Posted March 17, 2009 #12 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Actually, I quite often wear socks with sandals. Usually in the spring and fall, with slacks or levis (never shorts) and with the socks matching the color of the sandals (black), i.e., never white socks! But, then, I have trouble with my feet and sandals seem to be the most comfortable shoes to wear. Also, it saves on packing, as, when the ship gets to warmer climates I can still wear the sandals, just without the socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinjudy Posted March 17, 2009 #13 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Actually socks are very comfy with sandals. You have the freedom of the sandals but your feet stay warmer, but no not in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNSIII Posted March 17, 2009 #15 Share Posted March 17, 2009 It is never an acceptable combination! :D If one wants to wear socks, wear shoes. If I am in the land of sun and fun socks dont go anytime except to dinner. Flip flops or Topsiders! Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat04 Posted March 17, 2009 #16 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Pipedreams.. you are a gem!! How could we ever forget the obligatory and oh so tacky "fanny pack."

GeriatricNurse Posted March 17, 2009 #19 Share Posted March 17, 2009 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No socks and sandals!!!! dittoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is never an acceptable combination! :D If one wants to wear socks, wear shoes. Why not? Since one's feet sweat, then by wearing socks with your sandals, your socks are absorbing the sweat and your sandals are remaining dry (sweat AND odour-free)! Makes sense to me!

jbhcw Posted March 17, 2009 #20 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hey, if I could get DH to even wear sandals I would let him wear socks with them:D I'm one of those that say, nope - no socks with sandals, but hey it's your feet wear whatever you want to:):):) and have a great cruise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardbucfan Posted March 17, 2009 #21 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Sorry ya'll, socks with sandals (particularly slides) are the new "in" thing with kids. My 12 year old is currently wearing his addidas slides with BLACK socks and he is not the only one. Knee socks in obnoxious colors are also back. Oh, my eyes! Also, lots of people wear socks with Keens-not technically sandals but close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammybee Posted March 17, 2009 #22 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Now why would anyone care what someone else wore on their feet, let alone point and laugh about it :confused: Most Euros spot the U.S. tourist by their ubiquitous white sneakers and ankle socks.

H2Otstr Posted March 17, 2009 #25 Share Posted March 17, 2009 On our last cruise we had one gentleman that wore the same outfit for several days: striped shirt, Hawaiian shorts, dress socks and dress shoes. He varied only in the pattern of shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
