msclonly Posted September 7, 2014 #101 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) That is the way it is suppose to LQQK according to the POP-UP 2 for 1 discount sales ad. ;) Not with standing the vision gets weaker with age. Not something to snicker about at the Dinner table on a cruise! :( Edited September 7, 2014 by msclonly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted September 7, 2014 #102 Share Posted September 7, 2014 It is when the colour of the rug is at variance with the colour of the hair beside it. We suspected that our tablemates's 'do' must have been purchased via mail order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted September 7, 2014 #103 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I still don't get it, why wear sandals if you put socks on? Why not just wear shoes and socks. I think you defeat the reason for sandals airing your feet out, by putting socks on, but that is just me.:) I had to laugh, after we had been discussing this, my brother can over and guess what he was wearing dark socks and sandals. I kept my mouth shut but for a 70 year old he looked ridiculous:eek:, again my opinion. We're lucky here, I wear sandales year round, without socks:D.

I_r_a Posted September 7, 2014 #105 Share Posted September 7, 2014 >Is it still considered gauche to wear socks with sandals on a cruise? < One may wear white socks with light-colored sandals between Memorial Day and Labor Day, but only when sailing between the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer. Dark socks may be worn with dark sandals North and South of the two Tropics, but only from November to March or May through September, respectively. One does not wear black knee-high socks with sandals and Bermuda Shorts. They are worn only with a kilt and must have a dagger inserted at the top. The Full Chicago - white belt, etc - may be worn at all times and everywhere. Quoted from the Chicago Manual of Style - 19th Ed. Ira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceMuzz Posted September 8, 2014 #106 Share Posted September 8, 2014 You should wear dark socks with your sandals. Then wear your dark briefs on the outside of your trousers. If anyone asks, tell them it's a Batman thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa Girl Posted September 8, 2014 #109 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I just happen to be on your cruise Chelly and I will play the part of the fashion police. :D Me, myself & I don't even own a pair of sandals. I could cut out the toes to my tennieboots. Will that work? :eek: You live in Florida and you don't wear sandals! How do you manage in our heat?

nana51 Posted September 8, 2014 #110 Share Posted September 8, 2014 NO Sandals ever for men! No crocs or birkenstocks ever for either gender. Socks a must with deck shoes. Really! No sandals for men EVER. I wear croc sandals with are very thin and light. Also, you are not supposed to wear socks with deck shoes, as when on deck, your feet may get wet and no one wants wet socks.

Rare Germancruiser Posted September 8, 2014 #111 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Sandals may be okay for ladys- but not for gent´s, I totaly agree - Men- AVOID THEM!

msclonly Posted September 8, 2014 #112 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I bet you love your striped shirts with checked shorts :)No engineer dull plaid shirts or checkered shorts for me!

msclonly Posted September 8, 2014 #113 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Please be forgiving and don't forget some of those Knee High stockings are pressure support hose prescribed by their Drs! They come in black, only. Their feet are happier in forgiving sandals verses tight shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted September 8, 2014 #114 Share Posted September 8, 2014 NO Sandals ever for men! No crocs or birkenstocks ever for either gender. Socks a must with deck shoes. Sandals, crocs and birkenstocks can be seen as matters of individual taste (admittedly bad taste in most cases) but a line must be drawn: no socks with deck shoes (or, as properly titled, boat shoes) not ever, no way, no how.

Also, you are not supposed to wear socks with deck shoes, as when on deck, your feet may get wet and no one wants wet socks. Wool socks are fine to wear, even when wet. How do you think they would look with deck shoes? :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wander Posted September 8, 2014 #121 Share Posted September 8, 2014 All this reminds me of a TV Ad on local TV in the Pacific NW. After introductory information, see below, the line is "Here's to you, the socks and sandals guy! Now, the socks shown are of the hiking boot type, not knee high nor black nor dressy in any way. The sandals - TEVA type, and it relates to an active outdoor day, not a work setting. The introduction explains the reason for the combo in the Northwest. Our summer mornings, even in the summer, can be cold (or at least very cool). Too cold for many to wear sandals, but as the day progresses it can get quite hot, too warm for socks. (For example, the other day it was 48 egress when I left home, over 80 by 2 PM.) So, the combo is perfect from a comfort viewpoint. At such times my comfort trumps the fashion police. Also, when walking through puddles (or streams or whatever), take off the socks. Personally, when visiting hot climates - I would never wear socks with my sandals. In the Northwest, Alaska, the mountains, etc. - yes I would and do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted September 8, 2014 #122 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If you do not want to wear socks, you could just paint your feet brown or black and then pretend that you are wearing toe socks. Sort of like the women who have themselves body painted which would by the way be a neat job to have. DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magandab Posted September 8, 2014 #124 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Oh gee thanks. I was actually making progress getting over my sock addiction, and now I see my therapy will have to start again. I want ALL of them. I just ordered three pair of the mismatched socks. I think they will look great with my Keen sandals in Alaska. BTW, Amazon sells them for the same price, free shipping.
