As someone that grew up hating socks (parents only bought the ones with a thick seam at the toe), yes, the requirement to wear socks is a social construct. There are other ways to avoid smelly feet.
Currently, I wear shoes with washable insoles and I have multiple sets of these insoles. I also rotate between shoes, and these shoes can also go in the wash.
I do wear (nice, seamless) socks when I go hiking, but for day-to-day at the office they’re unnecessary.
I was going to reply with “wait until their feet are in pain after a day without socks”, but then your post happened. Looks like not everyone is built the same.
huh, i did not know there are more reasons for wearing socks than your feet being cold.
after a certain temperature i physically cannot wear socks as my feet get too hot. i either get to put on sandals, or i’ll take those full shoes and socks off in the middle of whatever bullshit forces them on me

If my socks have seams at the toes, I wear them inside out. I believe I learned that from Sean Connery in Finding Forrester.
You’re the man now, dawg!
If the sock seams bother you ,you either wear your socks or shoes, or both too tight
Or I’m autistic and things that don’t bother most people do bother me. I almost always size up and go baggy.
I do that with my knit compression gloves. It’s an awesome trick!
