I'm old school preppy, so I've been rocking that sockless deck shoe look forever.

There have been times where I glanced down and realized I wasn't properly lotioned up...ashy ankles aren't the move.
12756097, yay!

12756111, Hell Nay!!!!

12756114, shoes will stink...
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Mar-19-15 08:08 AM
but it definitely looks better without socks unless you are up on your sock patterns
12756129, i get those little no show socks for vans and boat shoes.
Posted by KiloMcG, Thu Mar-19-15 08:23 AM
keep the shoes from getting stinky and you can't see 'em. those things are great.
12756143, I use those too,
Posted by tariqhu, Thu Mar-19-15 08:33 AM
but the always seem to come off my heels. what brand do you use?
12756150, yeah, that's the only problem with them.
Posted by KiloMcG, Thu Mar-19-15 08:44 AM
i don't know what brand mine are, i think my wife picked em up from journeys. vans has them, i may give those a go this spring/summer.

i've also found that some of the socks stay up better than others so sometimes i have to put em on and see. if there's any slip in your shoe the socks are gonna be halfway down your foot by the time you step out the house.
12756153, RE: yeah, that's the only problem with them.

yep, then you have to adjust constantly. I'll try the sperry's to see if they work any better. since they also make boat shoes, lol, I'm hoping they make better no show socks.
12756164, kenneth cole no-show socks are the best
Posted by Tony Sparks, Thu Mar-19-15 08:56 AM
they got a lil rubber strip on the heel part to keep the sock from falling off
12756168, good to know, thanks.
Posted by KiloMcG, Thu Mar-19-15 08:58 AM
12756175, I'll give'em a shot.
Posted by tariqhu, Thu Mar-19-15 09:04 AM
thanks.
12756584, Here is my issue with no-shows
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Thu Mar-19-15 01:56 PM
Either they are not true no-shows and peek out the top or they are and it leaves you vulnerable to friction around your achilles and you get get those annoying little cuts there or irritation near the bone at lateral side of your ankle. At least I find that.

12756126, yay

12756708, youre right but they also refer to those as "deck shoes"
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Thu Mar-19-15 02:49 PM
it's mostly about the sole. you will see people wearing those canvas shits on a boat. but let me dont let curb your nitpicking.
12756184, loafer socks >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bare feet
Posted by southphillyman, Thu Mar-19-15 09:16 AM
raw ankle + boat shoe is so 2004 though
12756328, some caveman shit..
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Mar-19-15 10:59 AM
those shoes will walk by themselves after a sweaty day with no socks.

all the white kids wore them back in the day and their shoes smelled soooo bad.

please wear loafer socks or don't wear them at all
12756298, I prefer loafer socks

They're acceptable but I wouldn't do it.
12756479, exposed ankles = sending the wrong message in some areas

12756549, Man, I give dudes wearing flip flops NO respect in person
Posted by 8-bit, Thu Mar-19-15 01:41 PM
I used to shoulder bump the shit out of dudes wearing flip flops or fur coats (remember those?) in the club. Dudes standing in my way with their toes out trying to look manly. lol, okay dude.

I was/is kind of an asshole tho, but only kinda. Dudes wearing the mark of the slammable should have move the fuck out of the way faster.
12756554, i wish a nigga would try me in my flip flops

Step on my bad toe and I'll shoot you.

12756522, Nay on those shoes. And nay on no socks.
Posted by 8-bit, Thu Mar-19-15 01:30 PM
They look like slippers. Like those Toms that dudes were wearing a few years back. Like a dude can't run for the train without worrying about his feet coming out of his shoes. Like a dude gotta dodge pebbles on the sidewalk, or else it'll hurt like hell to step on them. I'm good.

I ride a bike in to work tho, so shoes for me serve a very utilitarian purpose.
12756581, NAY ALL FUCKING DAY!!!!!! NOOOOOOO!
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Thu Mar-19-15 01:54 PM
I hate those kind of boat shoes to begin with but any type of canvas-esque shoe with no socks is self-hate and a crime against humanity. Leather ain't helping matters much.

Honestly the no-socks look is generally terrible. I have seen some dudes pull it off with leather loafers, I guess, but I would never do it.
