    DUDE. Socks are

    Just go to a sporting goods store and get some of those small socks (not sure the actual name).

    I'm surprised you don't have athletes foot.

    Stick a dryer sheet in them shits at night. Does wonders.

    Yeah, make sure to get the shits with the pom-poms. Pfft.

    Fuck socks: shoes trees, money. The cedar ones. For a little while it'll feel like you're putting hollandiase on a McMuffin, but your dogs will end up markedly less mephitic.

    Coincidentally enough, I got my first Chucks down in Orlando Eff Ell Ay. They came with a free David Bowie cassingle ("Fame '90," freaturing a pre-weed-bust Queen Latifah). I have retained neither the shoes nor the cassingle.

    Dude, get some low-slung no-show white cotton footie socks. Avoid the stink of rotting canvas. There aren't many smells worse than that.

    I love me some flip flops, but a day of wear gives the dirtiest fucking feet.

    Years ago I spent the summer rocking a pair of Vans (no socks). So one day I'm over at my sisters, and I take my shoes off and sit down on the couch to watch some TV. A few minutes later I'm like "What the fuck is that horrible smell?" I thought something dies under their couch. It was my sneakers. I was almost afraid to put them back on. Dang...

    Ever since then, gotta have those lo-rise athletic socks...

    I know lots of folks disagree, but i think sandals on men = weak.


    Just buy some of this shit and sprinkle it in your shoe:

    Okay, all this talk about Evonne Goolagong socks and odor-fighting measures and mad-Swedish-looking flip-flop-hosiery aside, here is the elephant in the parlor: Rotate your shit. I don't care if you're rocking high socks, low socks, no socks, or four pairs of Saturn-ring socks on some David Robinson shit: unless you're going out like my man hogginthecloggs with the assorted flavored Crocs, any shoe--whether it's made of leather, canvas, hay, straw, or Land O' Frost pressed lunchmeat--will degrade and stink like mad cow if you wear it every day and don't properly air it out. My three-pronged advice: 1) Have more than one pair of shoes, 2) whenever you take your shoes off for the day, stick some wooden shoe trees in 'em to absorb some of the moisture and odor, and 3) when you wake up the next day, don't put on the pair with the shoes trees in 'em. It's so easy, even a record collector can do it.

    unless you are at the beach or showering at the Y, you shouldn't be rocking flip flops.

    AYODEL, Swiss Miss. You can take that shit to drawyourbrakes.com. The only crocs I'd ever rock would be ones killed to make me some berry charp cowboy boots. If you insist on impugning my choices in the area of pied-a-porter, I may have to ask you to take some three-donged advice.





    Now, back to the question at hand: Frank, don't raw-dog your shoes. Ever. It ain't right.

    And on the topic of low-top Chucks, you might wanna check out the Converse All-Star Slip-On:

    Just don't listen to James when he tells you that you GOTSTA rotate these in (with matching Russian shapka, natch):

    Now, back to the question at hand: Frank, don't raw-dog your shoes. Ever. It ain't right.
    Pfft. Chucks with socks is wack unless you're a cholo, Bowser from Sha Na Na, or a hot-panted extra from Hoosiers. Or, more to the point: being as ankle socks are not even part of the fucking conversation, finessing socks with Chucks requires either 1) a shame threshold beyond mid-calf elastic and/or 2) a willingness to engage in overly fussy "slouching" of one's socks, which is well outside the purview of the gentleman.

    Just don't listen to James when he tells you that you GOTSTA rotate these in (with matching Russian shapka, natch):

    I'm with those, but I rock one cuffed and one uncuffed--you know, hip-hop style. Got the yellow and green when it's time to get ill. Shapka to the back. All that.

    All this is a smokescreen, though--you know you're just mad because your cankles limit you to those Rockport shits with the velcro.
