Socks are for wussing bear losers. Emulate the practice of some South American native groups who simply dip their bare feet in latex. The result is instant, custom-fitted and grippy footwear. Footwear which, I might add, requires no washing as you don't take them off so much as wait until they wear out before repeating the process. I don't use them myself as I am a wussing bear loser and, as such, require socks.
