Did you see that under there?

I don't buy that barefoot or vibrams are good shoes, but I'm not about to get into another argument on eoff where i just get in trouble.

I go through socks like crazy. it's ridiculous. How long do your socks last?

[Sephex]

I'm pretty bland in this department. I usually wear regular white socks and boring stripped/flannel boxers. I don't like to spend too much on clothing as it is, and I figure it's pointless to buy elaborate clothing items for parts of the body that the general public doesn't see/focus on.

I have a troutload of socks, so they don't get worn very often. They're still all new feeling.

[TrollHunter]

Boxer briefs man, nothing better.
Also I have some really comfy jogging socks, oh my god... just... ohhhhh socks

I read this awesome article a few years ago that explained it gooder for me.

Think of it this way. Over thousands of years our feet have evolved to give us balance, support, flexibility and movement. They have evolved into perfection.

And we strap big hunks of leather to them and lose all of our ability to function like we're supposed to.

I go barefoot as often as I can. If my job accepted barefeet I would go to work with no shoes.

if you want to see my underwear then you have to come and visit.

Challenge accepted. I will see those underwear.

I go barefoot as often as I can.

As disgusting as that sounds, I find it oddly appealing...
Well, I learned something about myself today.

I still don't see the point of them. I wear normal shoes and just walk on the balls of my feet.

Fine whatever. I'll get in trouble.

Technology > genetics

shoes > vibrams

Technology that has no consideration made for physiology and the natural movement mechanics of the human body are absolutely not better than evolution. We were made to have our barefeet in contact with the ground while walking and running, not to stick a thick rubber sole with a raised heel that limits foot movement and muscle development on there and say that we're doing it better than a million plus years of evolution were able to. Hell, what you call technology was so haphazardly developed with little to no testing to see if it was actually beneficial that referring to it as such is almost laughable.

Hell, modern running shoes were made with the intent of allowing people to heel strike because they thought that would increase stride length and make people run faster. The former is certainly true, but since it's like hitting the breaks with every step you'll actually be slower, and direct every bit of force that you impact with straight up the leg and through every joint along the way with the muscles completely unable to absorb any of that impact the way they had evolved to do. It's no wonder people think running is bad for their joints when most shoes encourage degenerate movement patterns which directly result in injury.

But if there's one upside to the modern running shoe it's gotta be that it's given a lot of Podiatrists a lot more patients and let them sell a whole bunch of orthotics that the average person shouldn't need to begin with.

Feet are nasty though, and deserve to be covered up and out of my line of sight.

People who don't wear socks: y'all must have some stank ass shoes.

I pretty much always wear socks with any shoe/boot/sneaker except flip flops. They're normally the same color as whatever outfit I'm wearing. As for undies, I just go with the low rise hiphuggers from Vicky Secrets.

For guys I prefer: these

Actually, the nice thing about my Vibrams (not that I'm trying to talk about them too much here) is that I can toss them in the wash anytime and just let them air dry overnight, which I do pretty often. When they rip I can also sew them back up so they don't really wear out until you wear through the sole, which I've only done to one pair after 2 years of pretty frequent use.

I actually miss that pair. I mean, they're comfortable to begin with, but the thinner the sole gets the better they feel.

This thread is relevant to my interests

[Pike]

My feet and I aren't on good terms so I imprison them in socks/shoes to teach them a lesson.

I'm only barefoot when I'm taking a shower or getting dressed, and even that bugs me a little.

[Tigmafuzz]

You shower barefoot Pike? You're such a free spirit.
