White sox on guys- Scourge or fashion statement?

Why the hate on socks with sandals? Shoes hurt my feet, unless I buy them about 2 sizes too big (which isn't easy, because I have big feet). So I usually wear sandals.

If I don't wear socks, the friction rips the skin off my feet. What do you suggest?
You just wear what you like and don't let nosy Parker make a big deal out of it.
I like a man who wears what he likes, has his own style and wears it with confidence, no matter what it is, (or isn't).
That's it. I am happy to see some sense in this thread.

*** Making faces at people who wear socks! Pshaw! I don't stare at women in high-heel shoes and facelifts and silly-cone titties and camel-hair eyelashes and Daisy Duck lips and tattoed eyebrows and plastic fingernails and reflector-capped and polished teeth and dyed hair but just try to tell me what colour socks I should wear and you'll end up going home in tears.
 

I wear white sox. And yeah, I'm a total geezer- sweater, suspenders, etc. The reason I wear white sox is that they don't make black sox out of the same material as white sox. You think they would make white sox, then dye 'em to make black ones. Nope. White sox feel better, wear better, and last longer than black sox, because of the sox materials black sox makers insist on using. So it's white sox for me.
 

This thin BMI 22 fit person doesn't wear shorts in public but rather Levi 511 jeans. Thus people cannot see my socks. So this is really about the great many that especially during warm summer months go around wearing shorts. Here in California many especially new comers to the state, wear shorts to workplaces to flaunt their new found casual style. Decades ago at professional work places, men wore suits or casual dress clothes but increasingly more casual clothing has dominated everywhere.
