Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: GUEST,Manuel Date: 02 Jan 12 - 05:36 PM GfS, it's time you did your first good deed for 2012. Pray tell us what made you dredge up this ancient thread from 2008. Had I noticed this was stale stuff, I would not have posted the above. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: GUEST,999 Date: 02 Jan 12 - 01:21 PM "do girls like guy wear socks with sandal" After more than three years of thinking about that very question, I have concluded that I don't give a shit. So fu#k off and mind your own business. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: GUEST,999 Date: 02 Jan 12 - 12:30 PM Happy New Year GfS. Hope it was a relaxing, peaceful and safe. (As a btw, you're responding to posts that are over three years old. But being as how that's my mental age from time to time, it's ok.) |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Stringsinger Date: 02 Jan 12 - 12:07 PM Wearing socks with sandals make good sense in cold weather if you want a combo of warm feet and casual footwear. Do girls like guys who are comfortable and smart about what they wear? Rhetorical question. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 02 Jan 12 - 02:55 AM Peace: "This is a matter close to my heart. I will be following the thread closely." You finally got the back door of the ambulance opened and stumbled out?? Nice to hear from you, again! No you have to look for your other sandal.....good thing you were still wearing your socks! GfS |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Gurney Date: 17 Oct 08 - 06:30 PM That's the style, Beard. (May I call you Insane?) I suspect that Azizi's link is worn by someone with NO IDEA, let alone your sense of fashion. The picture is even in colour! If you have a well-turned calf, why not show it off? After all, it is common to see people shopping in sportswear. Tracksuits, trainers, baseball caps, ski-masks and shotguns, that kind of thing. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Jack Blandiver Date: 17 Oct 08 - 03:40 AM I'm not talking your genuine plus fours here; rather pulling your socks over your trousers and pulling them half way up the calf, or a little below the knee if they're long enough, and bunching them out a bit to create the classic Plus Four Effect. The trousers I generally wear are baggy black Italian air force surplus that lace up around the bottom, so more surplus-fours really, and ideal for the job. You got good hosiery, you've got to show it off to its best effect. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Gurney Date: 17 Oct 08 - 01:58 AM Older, not exotic, I think. I've seen them in American films, black-and-white ones. Never actually heard them called anything but plus-fours. Not pants, trousers, breaches, britches, breeks. Most of the few examples I've seen were tubular down to the narrowing, rather than tapered like 'yours,' and worn tucked up, like tracksuit bottoms. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Azizi Date: 16 Oct 08 - 07:33 PM Thanks, Gurney. I found this online photo of those types of trousers: Plus Four Gulf Trousers ** I'm more used to calling trousers "pants". But I don't know if "plus four trousers" would be called "plus four pants". Not that any of this matters. However, I like learning new trivia pursuits type things, especially when it comes to exotic cultures. And wearing plus four trousers and men wearing socks with sandals would be called exotic in my neck of the woods. Well, actually, those clothing styles would be called "different" and not exotic. But it's all good. :o) |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Gurney Date: 16 Oct 08 - 06:43 PM Azizi, plus-fours are a type of trouser that golfers and shooters used to wear. Baggy down to below the knee, closing in about the thick part of the calf. Worn with long woolen (woollen to you) stockings (to above the knee) and golf brogues. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Ed T Date: 16 Oct 08 - 04:32 PM Bronze foot find prompts sandal speculation The discovery of a bronze foot in London has led experts to suggest that as early as the 2nd century AD, Roman Britons wore sandals with socks. The rare life-size artefact was found at a three-acre site in Southwark, which is being excavated by real estate consultants E.C. Harris. Senior archaeological consultant Nansi Rosenberg stated: "In the Mediterranean, they had the good sense to wear sandals with open toes, but they couldn't cope with temperatures here and kept their socks on… This is an unexpected find." The find at the temple complex has convinced the researchers that the foot is wearing a sock by the way it has been sculpted. An inscription of the god Mars Camulos was found at the site so the foot may have been part of a statue dedicated to him or could have been of an emperor. Nansi Rosenberg added: "It is certainly an interesting find - this is only the second example of a foot found from a Roman statue in Britain, and though there is some documentary evidence for Britons wearing socks with their sandals this is the first physical evidence."

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Azizi Date: 16 Oct 08 - 01:16 PM Insane Beard, ignorance might be bliss. But I still would like to know what are {is?} "plus fours"? |
|
Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Jack Blandiver Date: 16 Oct 08 - 12:48 PM This morning, out and about on the town wearing my sunflower socks with my sandals as plus fours - so that's a double faux-pas in fashion terms; socks and sandals my wife can cope with, but not the plus fours. Anyway, I hold a door open for a perfect pair of bright shining eyes and the beautiful smiling face of a well-spoken lady who confides that she not only appreciates my old fashioned courtesy, but loves my natural style, socks and all, and would like a pair for the 77th birthday next week. Style! You either got it, or you ain't... |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Peace Date: 14 Oct 08 - 01:09 AM Thanks, Gurney. Actually, it's Ranger 1 lookin' for 'em. The only steel-toed boots I wear anymore are fire boots. Thirty below and a four hour working fire and one's toes do go numb and worse, the rubber freezes so that the water we use provides us with a skating rink. Once had a 44 mm hose on low pressure push my partner and me about fifty feet beckwards. Slid all the way. You mentioned miners' boots. ???? |
|
Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Gurney Date: 14 Oct 08 - 01:01 AM Peace, if you want winter steel-caps, try a miners boot. They sometimes have the cap on the outside. Still cold, but better. |
|
Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Peace Date: 13 Oct 08 - 11:03 PM I'll stop in at Mark's tomorrow and see if they have size 6 female steel-toed boots. How high do the sides have to be? Are size 6 female tootsies in the US the same as size 6 tootsies in Canada? |
|
Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Peace Date: 13 Oct 08 - 10:56 PM Steel toes in winter are bad news. But I guess a tree on the toes is worse. Tami, you'll just never be in fashion until you get over the socks and sandals thing. Sorry, but there it is, said. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Ed T Date: 13 Oct 08 - 09:22 PM Ranger 1, This site may lead you to a solution. They likely ship from Canada to the USA. http://www2.marks.com/products.asp?categoryID=464 |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Ed T Date: 13 Oct 08 - 08:54 PM A thorny issue? http://www.madaboutshoes.org/entry/weird-fashion-high-heeled-sandals-with-killer-thorns/ Are sandals in Winter -- A Fashion Faux Pas? Sunday, February 27, 2005; Washington Post Q My friends make fun of me because I wear sandals well into winter and break them out at the first hint of spring. Is there a rule? Alexandria A It's really up to you and how frozen you can stand your feet. That said, some sandals read less "summery" than others. An open-toe leather wedge, say, feels more substantial (and winter-appropriate) than flip flops. What to stash away 'til spring? Espadrilles, huaraches and anything that says "Lido Deck." One keep-toasty tip: high-heel sandals and black tights can be seriously glam (French Vogue editrix Carine Roitfeld is expert at pulling off this combo).

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Ed T Date: 13 Oct 08 - 08:29 PM How about topless sandals, with or without socks? http://www.strangenewproducts.com/2005/12/topless-sandals.html The story below does not mention whether he was or was not wearing socks: the Associated Press September 30, 2007 BEIJING: Chinese customs officials caught a heroin smuggler after noticing he was wearing "weird sandals," state media reported Monday. Xinhua News Agency said a Nigerian was detained last week in Zhuhai, which borders Macau in southern China, after he was caught carrying more than 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of heroin. It said attention was drawn to the man because he was "wearing a pair of weird sandals." "Police X-rayed his suitcase and found another pair of strange sandals in it," Xinhua said. The heroin was hidden in the soles of the two pairs of sandals, it said. Xinhua did not describe the sandals. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: ranger1 Date: 13 Oct 08 - 08:25 PM Hey, I wear work boots! Do you know how difficult it is trying to find a pair of steel-toed chainsaw-resistant work boots in a US woman's size 6? I got asked if I was going to gild them and hang them from my mirror by the guy who taught my safety class. As for socks with sandals - eew! Definite turn-off. |
|
Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Peace Date: 13 Oct 08 - 07:52 PM Granted, a guy wearing work boots like them would seem a bit ostenntachious/osstentaceous/ostentacheous show-offy. But that is a for-sure fashion statement. A trifle weak though--plain nails like that. A REAL guy would be wearing socks. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Azizi Date: 13 Oct 08 - 01:11 AM I mean does "Brute: sound like a girl's name to you? Maybe if you pronounced it "Bru-tay". But no, even then that name definitely does NOT fit my pleasant personality. But as for your old nickname "Cutie"-well, you know what Johnny Cochran said "If the shoes fits, ya got to wear 'em-with or without socks {baby blue or otherwise}. He did say that, didn't he? :o) |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Azizi Date: 13 Oct 08 - 12:39 AM Bruce, I feel your pain. But think how that childhood experience made you a better man. Think about how you know how to defend yourself in fair fights {and I dare say in unfair fights}. And you owe it all to that gift of the gaters/gators. Just think about that, Cuti...I mean Brucie. :o) |
|
Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Peace Date: 12 Oct 08 - 11:48 PM Oh, yeah. And to make it even better, Judy said I looked cute in front of my friends. You try hitting a homer after that, or scoring a TD, or a goal. Ya got the guys saying, "Cutie's gonna hit it out of the infield." I got in more fights after those damned things that these days remarks about socks and sandals do not phase me in the least. |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Peace Date: 12 Oct 08 - 11:41 PM NO, gaters. They are leather things ya might see on a horsewoman. Go from the ankle to near the knee.

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Azizi Date: 12 Oct 08 - 08:39 PM Men wear garters? I guess so. ..."In Elizabethan fashions, men wore garters with their hose, and colorful garters were an object of display. In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, "cross braced" garters are an object of some derision. In male fashion, a type of garter for holding up socks has continued as a part of male dress up to the present (although its use may be considered somewhat stodgy). Order of the Garter The insignia of a knight of the Order of the Garter.Main article: Order of the Garter A famous "garter" in English is the Order of the Garter, which traces its history to the Middle English poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In the poem, Gawain accepts a garter from the wife of his host (while resisting her carnal temptations) to save his life and then wears it as a mark of shame for his moral failure and cowardice. King Arthur and his men proclaim it no shame and begin, themselves, to wear the garter to indicate their shared fate. At that point, however, the garter was a larger garment that was used as a foundation. The Order, which is the oldest and highest British Order of Chivalry, was founded in 1348 by Edward III. The Order consists of Her Majesty The Queen who is Sovereign of the Order, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and 24 Knights Companions"... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garters |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Azizi Date: 12 Oct 08 - 08:27 PM I also wrote that "women also wear jeans with dress boots or high heels too". I didn't mean that women wore jeans with dress boots and high heels, at the same time. But I'm sure you knew that, too. Also. [I'm not going to say which political figure I sound like] I assure you that I'm not doing it on purpose. And maybe she isn't either.] ;o) |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Peace Date: 12 Oct 08 - 08:22 PM Listen up if'n y'all wanna know what hardship REALLY is! I was forced to wear gaters when I was a kid. GATERS. Keriste, like I give a rat's ass who cares about socks and sandals. Gaters. Some friend of the family gave them to me for Christmas when I was six. I woulda preferred a chocolate bar, or in this case a card. Then I had to show how grateful I was by wearing the fu#king things IN PUBLIC. Humbug! |

Subject: RE: do girls like guy wear socks with sandal From: Azizi Date: 12 Oct 08 - 08:21 PM I wrote "Maybe they were called that because it was easier to ride a bike with those length pants than a skirt"... I didn't mean ride a skirt. I meant it's easier for a woman to ride a bike while she is wearing peddle pushers than if the woman were wearing a skirt and she was riding a bike. But I guess you figured that out, right? |
