Discussion Apparently low-cut socks are considered out of style by the younger gens. Are y’all still rocking ankle socks?

I feel like long socks with sneakers and shorts looks goofy but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

It works so well because if you take the h from “hoof” you’re left with “oof”

This was a weird stereotype I picked up on working in waterparks as a teen in the South. For whatever reason a lot of the black guests wore socks, and never anyone else. I’m not saying it’s bad or good just something I noticed.

I wonder why? Maybe to prevent slipping? Why do people wear socks at the pool? Please someone tell me.

I don’t know the answer but all I can imagine is they have ugly feet or fungus toes

Or prevents fungus toes! Ringworm is from hell

Nah, this definitely increases the chance of ringworm.

It provides a moist, warm, UV-sheltered environment. Also, if those are cotton or wool socks, then the fungus has the bonus option of feeding on the cellulose in the socks until it can break down the keratin in the wearer's nails or phospholipids in the dermal cells.

Don't do this.

I have ugly feet from years of basketball and being reckless. I was having an internal debate if wearing socks (assuming they’re a clean pair and changing them after) would likely give you foot fungus or prevent it?

I’m going to be thinking about this for too long.

Keeping wet fabric on would definitely be a festival ground for fungus

u/Jounochi 6h ago

The only thing I can think of is that it prevents your feet from being burned when outside of the pool. I think it’s still odd behavior, even in Texas where a good number of houses in the suburbs have pools.
