    • ironman doesnt wear socks!

      • Is it instant though? I feel like it’s at least a 10 second million dollar cgi animation.

    • I had to do this once in school when my sports teacher called me out in front of the whole school for having black basketballl shoes, demanding I present white shoes in 10 seconds of get detention…simples!

  • how about people with hip replacement do you cross your legs while wearing socks or it become difficult? or crossing is not the right way anyway we should bend down and wear socks

  • On the premise that when you buy shoes and/or socks in pairs, if you only have one leg, what do you do with the other shoe?

    • Google "single shoe swapping" - there are quite a few sites that facilitate the exchange or sale of single shoes.

  • Sock shoe sock shoe would assume you wear your shoes inside, please tell me it isn't so..

    • Lots of people work inside. Some of these people get changed in indoor change rooms at work because their employer provides their uniform.

      Presumably people in nursing homes/ hospitals live inside.

      Surfers often get changed in or beside their cars after their swims. I don't know many who wear regular shoes and socks in the surf.

      Pubs often require a punter to wear shoes to gain entry inside. If they don't allow thongs, what happens if punter went straight to pub after surfing and changed in his car?

      Often a shoe shop will provide socks to use when trying on new shoes that you may buy. Most shoe shops are inside.

      If people don't wear their shoes inside, why do our houses have mud rooms?

      Do prisoners wear shoes and socks?

    • Shoes off in the house is the exception, not the rule. There are certain subcultures where it's very common (usually correlating to places where people often poop in the street or where muddy dirt streets are normal), but the majority of Australians don't.

      Sock shoe sock shoe is still a classic sign of a psychopath though. It's up there with mutilating small animals.

    1. Unlace or loosen: If your shoes have laces or straps, loosen them to make slipping your foot in easier.
    2. Align your heel: Hold the shoe steady and slide your foot in, ensuring your heel fits snugly into the back of the shoe.
    3. Tighten and secure: Adjust the laces, buckles, or straps for a comfortable fit—neither too tight nor too loose.
    4. Test the fit: Stand up, walk around, and make sure your shoes feel just right—no pinching or slipping!
    • Yeah, but when do you put on your socks?

      • Read the post…

        "How do you put shoes on?"

        • So, you don't wear socks?

              @SBOB: To be fair, jv really did respond to the title - in a thread about putting on shoes and socks.

              I mean, even if people do think about this stuff, why would they publicise it? Especially on Ozb.

              That's just asking to get mocked.

              • @Muppet Detector: If they'd written it themselves rather than just copy pasting some answer content from whatever LLM AI sources, sure.

                Copy pasting AI content as response should really be an automatic mod delete by now.

                • @SBOB: C'mon hey. The content didn't just generate itself. He had to actually consider that option to prompt that response.

                  By creating this thread, the OP is literally begging to be mocked and jv complied.

                  Personally, I thought the response was well played. He was the first one to approach an answer from that angle and the concept was amusing considering we are a bunch of adults engaged in a topic about putting on shoes and socks ffs!

                  I mean seriously dude, read the room! We're not playing for sheep stations here. Mocking people who are asking for it is ok, but that doesn't mean you need to be so mean and rude about it.

                  As soon as I got the gist of his intent I just rolled my eyes, scrolled right by and had a bit of fun with him (well it amused me).

                  I didn't read enough of it to even give consideration to whether it was AI generated or not. I mean, I am seriously wondering why you did and why you even care that he did it?

                  Just because jv finds value in posting like that it doesn't mean we all have to read it.

    • If you need to pant after putting your shoes and socks on then you really are probably putting them on the wrong way.

    What kind of sociopath does sock shoe sock shoe?

    And why are we not talking about the real details like:

    Are we cram the shoe on people, shoe horn people or slippers lovers.

    Missed opportunities for deep meaningful discussion

  • Only one person doesn’t wear socks? There must be more people from Brunswick on here, surely.

  • Does your mother still dress you?

  • Socks are in the house, shoes by back door, hence sock sock shoe shoe.
    Although mostly sock sock croc croc in the house
    .

  • Thong, thong.
    Mate, we are strayan.

    • Is there going to be a thong,thong blue?

      • Everybody knows one

        • Every garden grows one.

  • Always left shoe and sock first.
    This seems to be left over from my footy days. I was right footed and very OCD fussy about the lace tension on my kicking foot and had to tie them a few times to get them perfect, so the right shoe took longer to get right, hence doing it second. It them kind of became a superstition which lasts to this day

    • i've never thought about it, and now I wonder if I favour one foot before the other

  • How Do You Put Shoes on?

    I put them on my feet……one at a time. How do you do it?

  • +1

    What psychopaths are choosing the second option??

  • I put the right shoe on the left foot, then left shoe on the right foot then put my socks over the shoes

  • 99% of the time I'm wearing socks. So always socks first.

  • The more interesting question is "bra or panties first?"

    • That's two questions though - one for the wrapper, and one for the unwrapper.

      As an unwrapper it really depends on the context, variety is key.

    At the gym I do sock, shoe, sock, shoe, because I don't want a socked foot to touch the bacteria and fungus infected floor.

    I'm asian, so it's.. sock, sock, sandal, sandal.

  • It depends on … how your "agility is +++ the type of shoe/boot +++ type of work you do for a living !!!

    EG. with sneakers == sock/shoe + sock/shoe.
    If you are balancing on 1 foot - to put 1 sock on … then 100% stands to reason to put shoe on same foot at same time.
    otherwise == "double handling"/etc.

    Work boots == I have to sit down to lace up +++ work boots == dirty/grease/etc (100% not allowed inside house).
    Sooo …. socks go on in bedroom - but work boots go on at front door.

  • +1

    Where is the option for both?

    Typically socks first, then shoes, but sometimes sock, shoe, sock shoe.
    Why? It just happens.

    • +1
      also as I alluded to in my post above … depends on what sort of shoe/boot … etc.
      Weekdays (with boots) == sock/sock + shoe/shoe … but weekends (with sneakers) == sock/shoe + sock/shoe.

      Think OP needs to do a deep/detailed study on this.
      From a science perspective … there are too many variables - just a few to start the ball rolling == EG.

      1.) type of shoe/boot.
      2.) do you sit down or stand up while putting on socks/shoes?
      3.) where do you put your socks/shoes on ??? at EXACT same time?

      4.) energy needed to put on socks/shoes == which is better? (eg. uses less energy or puts less strain on body).

      5.) age of person ??? which also ties in with ability to stand on 1 leg while putting sock on while standing.
      6.) use of aids - such as "sock pullers" or "shoe horns" (again - this is age related).

      7.) summer or winter ??? (or even what city you live in) … Think answer would be vastly different - those that live in FNQLD (or KNX/FX/HC) VS Melb/TAS.
      8.) upbringing + nationality.

      • You forgot about how many legs/feet the person doing this actually has.

      • This sounds like the kind of important science the federal government should be throwing grants at.

        Some more variables to consider:

        2.b) Height of seat vs height of person. Tall person sitting on a low chair could be different to a short person sitting a relatively higher surface.
        10.) sex (male or female)
        11.) BMI (similar reasoning to 5.)
        12.) no shoes policy in the house vs shoe free for all in the house

        • +1
          • 11) BMI - can you reach your feet or does somebody else put them on for you?

          13) should you be wearing socks with those high heeled shoes?

          14) Where are the shoes? (Might not be near socks/where you put socks on).

          15) You're going swimming. Why are you putting shoes and socks on?

          16) What do the instructions say?

          17) if you have a wife, how did she tell you to do it?

          18) That's a horse. Horse's don't wear socks.

          19) Are you doing the Hokey Pokey? (If you are, you only put one foot in/ out at a time).

          20) Are they your socks? (Ie do you have to put them on quickly before the owner asks for them back?)

          21) Have you taken your meds today? (ADHD, OCD may influence you're dressing behaviours)

          22) What does your Magic 8 ball say?

          23) Do you have one foot in your mouth?

          24) What does You Tube say?

          The following one asks the exact question OP asked.

          https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dfvDZWiS6QI

  • Shoes on first then my socks. Shoes dont get dirty that way.

  • Left sock, right sock, left shoe, right shoe.

  • I complained I had no shoes till I met a man who had no feet….old indian proverb.

    Nowhere in your poll for shoe horn…what gives?

  • +1

    Depends on how dirty the floor is. Clean floor it sock sock shoe shoe. Appears unclean it's sock shoe sock shoe.

  • Where is the option:
    Sock, coffee, teams meeting, look for other sock that’s now missing, get different pair of socks, remove odd sock, answer door and sign for package, look for the pair I just got, fetch another pair from drawer, sock, sock shoe shoe

  • Socks, then crocs, then when I get to site chuck my Steelcaps on

  • sock, shoe, sock, shoe, tie lace, tie lace

  • I'm pretty sure I lost a few brain cells reading this thread.

  • it depends - if I have everything arranged and was outside I'd do sock shoe sock shoe since I don't want a bare sock to get wet/dirty. Inside I might do sock shoe sock shoe if they;re aligned so I can slide into each one as it is done.
