Why do some people never wear socks?

Hot, sweaty feet in the summer are a top reason people swap out their sneakers for sockless options like sandals or flip-flops. Going sock-free is common in warm weather to help cool your feet.

Some avoid socks due to discomfort. For individuals with sensory sensitivities, seams and fabric bunching can be irritating, even painful. This is often why children dislike wearing socks too.

Style is another motivator for going sockless. Some shoes are designed for bare feet, like Crocs™, HEYDUDE™ shoes, or Rothy’s® flats. Socks can disrupt a stylish look, which is why you’ll sometimes see men in dress shoes or women in ballet flats without socks.

What happens when you don’t wear socks?

You might wonder, “Will my feet smell if I wear shoes without socks?”

Foot odor can become more likely when you skip socks. Socks help absorb sweat, reducing bacteria that cause smells. They also help regulate temperature and protect your feet from blisters and calluses. Plus, socks help prolong the life of your shoes.

So, should you wear shoes without socks? Absolutely! You just need an alternative to enjoy the benefits of socks without actually wearing them. (Hint: They’re called FLAT SOCKS.)

What about no show socks?

Historically, no show socks, also known as women’s sock liners or men’s loafer liners, were the only way to go sockless while still reducing sweat and odor. They’re designed to leave your ankles bare while protecting your feet.

Unfortunately, no show socks tend to show. They can slip off your heels, bunch at your toes, and often require more effort than they’re worth.

If you want truly no-show socks that don’t slip or show, FLAT SOCKS are the solution. These invisible inserts go into your shoes, not on your feet. They offer cushioned comfort with a slip-free bottom and help control odor by wicking away sweat.

  3. Slip them in. Place each sock insert into your shoes, left and right. Press down to ensure a snug fit.
  4. Enjoy the freedom. With FLAT SOCKS in your shoes, you can experience a sockless style without the stink. Check out our new arrivals to find more styles.
  5. Wash your socks. FLAT SOCKS are machine washable and dryer-safe, just like traditional socks. Learn more in our sock care guide.

Other Tips on Going Sockless

While there’s no foolproof solution to sweaty feet, especially if you have conditions like hyperhidrosis, FLAT SOCKS can help control sweat and odor. If you’re new to going sockless or just need some advice, here are a few tips:

  • Wear no sock shoes. Shoes that work well without socks include canvas sneakers, slip-ons, boat shoes, sandals, ballet flats, and loafers. FLAT SOCKS make any shoe a sockless option, but these styles tend to be more breathable.
  • Keep your shoes clean. Regularly washing your shoes—either by hand or in the washing machine—helps extend their lifespan and keeps them free of bacteria and sweat stains. Read our guide on how to wash shoes.
  • Rotate your shoes. Switch up your shoes every few days to give them time to air out. This is a great time to wash your FLAT SOCKS, too.
  • Practice good foot hygiene. Foot odor happens when bacteria feed on dead skin cells. Washing your feet daily with antibacterial soap can help keep odors at bay. Make sure your feet are completely dry before wearing closed-toe shoes.

Go Sockless with FLAT SOCKS

Many people skip socks because they’re uncomfortable or don’t match their style. When no-show socks aren’t cutting it, FLAT SOCKS provide the ultimate solution, making it easy to go sockless in comfort and style.
