Shoes and Socks


Shoes without socks, feel like something is missing, I am too used to wearing socks that I feel very uncomfortable even if I am wearing boat shoes.  Some people do prefer wearing them without socks, but numbers are very few in comparison with the people who want to wear socks.  

Foot and shoe moisture tend to attract fungi, virus and other bacteria. Clean socks are necessary not just for the feet but for the shoes also
Types of Socks
 Basically socks fall into three main categories, Dress socks, casual and Athletic socks.
Dress socks are usually made from silk, cashmere or fine variants of cotton and wool.
Casual socks come in cotton and wool, and are available in a wide variety of colors, patterns and thicknesses.
Athletics socks - as common sense would suggest are made from cotton and usually gray or white.  Athletics socks differ from casual socks in size. Athletic socks are come up to mid calf or higher , that help in covering more skin are visibly when wearing sneakers.
Your sock size should be 1 to 1.5 sizes bigger than your shoe size. In other words, a size 12 shoe means a 13.5 size sock. Some brands divide sock size by small, medium and large.
To know your size, refer to these numbers (in inches):
Small: 5-9
Medium: 9-12
Large: 13-15
Matching Socks to Shoes
When wearing dress shoes or casual leather shoes, always match your socks to your pants.
Always match your dress or casual leather shoes with your pants.
You can wear athletic socks and casual socks with sneakers. But unless you're on a basketball court, don't wear sneakers and shorts with anything other than ankle-length casual socks.
Finally, when all else fails, remember this rule: The more formal the occasion, the darker the sock.
Make sure your shoes fit
Dealing with stores and salespeople is never fun. Moreover, remembering the fashion rules for socks and pants can be downright taxing. But ultimately, buying shoes is all about finding the best fit. So long as you leave the shoe store with a comfortable pair of shoes on your feet, you'll be walking tall for months to come.
So here we discussed how socks could be important to whatever you are wearing; whether casual, formal or sport shoes, for every shoe there is perfect socks. But always remember, you may prefer certain type of texture, like if your feet’s sweat too much, better it would be to go for cotton socks.
