Guys. What do you think of wearing boat shoes/deck shoes without socks? Are they a good dress up shoe? Back in 85, which was the year I started JR. High, I seen a lot of boys wear boat shoes without socks. I had quite a few deck shoes (or better known as decks) and I never wear socks in them. Anybody out there like deck shoes?
happytraveler replied: "Sorry, too gay for me."
Kevin C replied: "Definately not a "dress up" shoe. It's more of a casual, summer party type of shoe."
Deberah*Harry replied: "Yeah, those are more of a casual shoe.
I remember the guy from Pretty in Pink, James Spader, wearing those in the high school scenes...he had on those white baggy pants with that blazer & he wore those boat shoes with no socks!
I had that image perfect in my head when I read your question and just felt compelled to answer!"
boat shoes with socks or no socks? are you suppose to wear socks with boat shoes? is it ok to wear boat shoes with slacks (long pants), for a casual formal look?
Autismmomof2 replied: "Hey Confused,,,,I hope you are a guy cuz I am giving you guy information. It is best to wear boat shoes with NO shocks and yes, it looks great with long pants...like dockers for a preppy look. Hope this helps and you'll look marvelous!
:D"
geekieintx replied: "well if you sweat alot in your shoes I would recommend you wear socks ....otherwise i see lots of people not wearing socks with them also.so which ever is comfortable to you ...GO FOR IT !!!!!!!"
LipGloss luver replied: "you can wear socks but roll them down halfway.. u usually dont wear socks with them!"
are there any socks specially made for boat shoes? i would wear no socks, but my feet smell bad when i don't wear socks.
Lisa H replied: "yes they do actually. they are called "no sock" socks. no joke. they are really super short things. or like a low cut type sock.
not sure if you are girl/guy...i can"
are girls supposed to wear socks with boat shoes? my shoes are kinda like that. do you wear socks or not?

openminddid replied: "no just wear the kind that cover the bottom of your feet."

wendy r. replied: "i dont know why dont you ask ur mother!!"
Lily replied: "Not generally but you can wear short ones if you want

Sam replied: "I would say no since they already have the fluffy stuff in there."
smashley0095 replied: "If you bought the kind with the fur,NO.
If you bought the kind withOUT the fur,NO.
Either way,NO MA'AM!"
Is it cool for young men to wear casual shoes without socks on? Dose wearing casual shoes like canvas boat shoes for example look better without socks. Just for everyday wear like with jeans, T Shirt ect, not formal like in the office ect. What do girls think of it, dose it look better? And also I lived in a flat with a bunch of girls and its a bit of a taboo subject, if a guys unfortunate enough to have to take his shoes off, girls can get a little bitchy sometimes about bare feet.
Jennifer S replied: "i personally think its gross... but i know i'm weird about it. i know tonnes of girls who don't mind it. to me, though its the most disgusting thing in the world."
foofoo replied: "To be honest, canvas shoes will STINK if you dont wear socks lol. Why dont you get some of those trainer socks in the same colour as your shoes. Then you wont see them whilst your feet are in your shoesies.. and if you take them off, you'l be covered!"
Katherine replied: "no...can be smelly!
Be a gentlemen"
shannon replied: "Yuck wear socks unless you are wearing crocs or sandals or flips and make sure you don't take off your shoes if you were out in wet weather in leather because your feet will stink up your apartment."
sandy^_^ replied: "Well.ur shoes will definately stink wit no socks on.try wearing low cut socks or ankle cut socks.it wont be that visible.and it wud be gross to take off ur shoes n show ur bare stinkin feet!!!!anywayz good luck<33"
Eric replied: "...really. there is a reason why they are called boat shoes. you dont wear socks with boat shoes. ever.
most shoes, yes, wear socks, but boat shoes are like slippers, just dont do it"
jwenting replied: "personally I don't care. Whatever you're comfortable with...
If they care more about your clothes than about your personality, they're too shallow to take seriously anyhow.
Myself, I can't wear socks that cover the ankles or higher because of an alergy (ankle gets itchy, red, flaky skin, whenever I put on socks).
And no, shoes don't have to get smelly from wearing them without socks. Depends on how much you sweat and you may well sweat more with socks on depending on your skin, the material of the shoes and the material of the socks."
Quintin G replied: "No, wear socks. It only looks good when wearing flips...and only then if you are going to or have just come from swimming.
Kind Regards,

How Do You Remove The Smell From Boat Shoes? So I've been wearing this pair of boat shoes for a while (canvas outer). Since they're boat shoes, I wear them without socks. Recently they've been smelling really bad.
What should I do? I have very good foot hygiene, so that's not the problem. Any advice would help. Thanks.
MattS. replied: "Put some baking soda in them, it will remove any odors."
cat38skip replied: "The problem is that your feet sweat in the shoes and bacteria grow and you have that delightful odor. Since they are canvas, You can wash them or you could use shoe deodorizer spray or powder. I have found some success with both that or lysol spray and setting them out in the sun to dry and bake."
marc d replied: "the best boat shoe I ever found is none !! meaning no shoes, on the docks, yes they look the part, on a boat they are not worth the money, as moisture, sweat, and heat is a great combo for fungus, mold, and as you already know !! take a good smell of a bilge and you will have the same combination."
termite replied: "Get another pair or couple of pairs.
Alternate which pair you use.
Use one for a day, leave to air dry on day two and three while you wear the other pairs.
Gotta let them dry completely."
Ron D replied: "Billy Mays, oder be-gone will do the job, then wash them."
Shoes/Socks? Is it a total faux pas to wear socks with brown deck/boat shoes? I'm guessing it is.
