On the Street.....Navy Footies, Milano

I love a "no sock " look but it can get a little chill in the Winter.

So I think these navy "footies" (that's what we call them in America) are a great option.

Now I just have to find them in New York, any ideas?

Honestly, I used to buy a lot of my socks from the sock lady who set up a table in front of the Walgreen's at the south end of Union Square. She'd have footie socks like that 3 pairs for $5. They lasted for years. Otherwise I recommend Daffy's, SYMS or Burlington Coat Factory. No need for a designer label on something that will never be seen outside of your shoe.

Blogger Eryl said ... (5:27 PM) : 

I must say I'm extremely ambivalent regarding these: there's something of the bath-chair, or orthopedic clinic, about them. Perhaps in a vivid colour – pea-soup green, say – on a very young foot, they would work. Otherwise, I can't help feeling socks look best when either sock length or completely obscured by the shoe. I love to see a beautiful bare ankle, just not one that looks like it requires support.

His shoes look like they're made of dried and pressed Victoria plum skins: gorgeous.

I get packs of 4 footsie socks at H & M men's department - they come in different color combos - and two of the pairs are solid colors.
I have white and brown pairs - the brown for wearing with my brown Gucci loafers and yellow & brown docle & gabbana sneakers.
The solid white and color combo pairs for wearing with all my white sneakers.
These footsies are made out of the most comfortable jersey cotton / spandex combo.
I love them.

Blogger Angel said ... (5:58 PM) : 

I dislike those "footies", they just look like black no-show ankle socks. Not very chic In my opinion. I wear Loafer socks If its warm enough to go sock less, which are super low and cover the bottom of your feet, toes and heal, and you cant tell the difference. If its too cool for sockless, I wear single colored socks. Those footies just remind me of all the Tourist in Charleston.. Just cant do it.

I cannot stand the word 'footie.' When I was a child my dad managed a shoe store and he and mom always made me wear those awful nylon things while trying on dress shoes. I felt so embarrassed about them, and even though I've gotten over the actual item, the word still haunts me.

 

Blogger Unknown said ... (8:17 PM) : 

I don't think that those are just regular short socks, they look more like from the "sail" world, made with some kind of waterproof material or similar. "Musto" or "Nautica" might have something like that but I am not sure where you can find it in NY ..

Scott - I recall now, in my youth growing up in a Tennis mad town, when women wore tennis skirts, they wore these and the name was 'peds.' Indeed, J.Crew has black or white ones and they consider them for men or women. On their website for $8.50, and they look as if they might be less visible than the ones shown. I'd be eager to read of any results you or anyone else has, such as Century 21, since I'm often casually dressed with jeans & jacket with loafers in warm weather. Thanks!

Sorry, I'm still not a fan of dress shoes and no socks, and I don't care if it's the 'flavor of the month' in mens' fashion; you still look like a hick who can't afford hosiery. Worse still are footies/quarter socks with dress shoes + trousers. I can see it with shorts & a more casual/athletic look, but this just doesn't make sense.

I'll be the one to say it; this is an 'emperor has no clothes' situation. Napoleon once said,"If you're going to take Vienna, take Vienna!"; in other words, no half-measures, and no half socks (or footies).

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:53 PM) : 

Huh. I never thought I'd say this, but those dark-colored footies are working... they're just visible enough to add a soupcon of odd to the traditional shoes, and they hit in exactly the right spot to look good with those pants. In fact, I almost never like high-waters, but the footies shift the proportions of coverage & skin enough that the pants look more graceful than that style usually does. (And as Eryl notes above, a vivid color might be even better.)

I generally prefer funky socks proper with any outfit, and sockless can work well at times, but when men have thin ankles & good-sized feet, the wee wisp of ankle (nude or bestockinged) exposed by shorter trousers can create a truly odd look. These little footies help!

If you really want to weart wear footies, the only option for me would be in a very bright color. I dont really like the look this way because it looks like a halfhearted compromise. Just my opinion. Maybe i am a bit slow fashionwise concerning this trend ; )

We call them trainer liners here in England, and I think that's just about all they're good for! They can be bought almost anywhere, very common!

Socks, go to UNIQLO. That's what we say in Japan. ; )

So I think these navy "footies" (that's what we call them in America) are a great option.

They aren't for sure.

 

Anonymous s.wilderness said ... (6:26 AM) : 

Just don't wear them at all. Totally without class, barely acceptable with sneakers. The no sock look is dubious anyway, a bit contrived I feel. This is just studiedly awful.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (6:56 AM) : 

No go! If you go for the "no sock look" then wear no socks - if you want to wear socks - wear socks, but real ones - no footies, pleeeease! Unless they are so tiny you want be able to see them at all (in Germany available at every department store...) - but then, they are no use in warming your feet either!

No socks in the winter? Are you planning on breaking out the seersucker as well Sart?

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (5:06 PM) : 

Scott, I was frustrated with the selection of "no show" socks so I decided to manufacture my own line. Check out www.moccsocks.com

We make them in white, grey and black. PM me at moccsocks@gmail.com with an address and I'll send you some.

If you like the sockless look, then go sockless. Wearing short ankle-socks is not the sockless look, and you don't look sockles... you look like you're wearing short ankle-socks. Why not just embrace socks, and enjoy them? Don't try to sneak by with hidden socks, because they can't be hidden.

Blogger stylites said ... (4:54 AM) : 

Honestly, sockless is already rather tiresome and just seems pretentious when pushed into cold weather. The, slightly showing, bootie won't keep your ankles warm.

I've had these and approve! But you do need more than these in winter. Even if you're trying to look like you're not trying. Socks in the cold are a necessity.

If you can see any part of the "sock" peaking above the shoe, then it completely defeats the purpose of the "no sock" look.

 

Anonymous Male blog said ... (8:05 PM) : 

i completely agree. Just that little bit of sock is too much.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:37 PM) : 

The most horrible site in fashion....Where socks or don't. Now it's just nothing. A 'no sock' look, but I can see a sock.

It just looks completely off balance. Now you see a little bit of the ankle and a little bit of the sock, it's just to busy for a person who probably wears a well considered outfit.

It's OK if you wanna wear 10 different layers and want to dress chaotic or untidy or just want to create confusion.

 

Anonymous Christian said ... (4:11 AM) : 

Ok, footies or ghost socks, but they must not be seen...so buy those one size less

 

Blogger Lisa said ... (9:44 PM) : 

If you're going for the sockless look, then do it! These aren't working for me. I either wear the SmartWool "Hide and Sleek", or I cut off a pair of socks just past the heel to prevent blisters. No show, either! This was fine for spring and summer, but my tootsies are now in boots and socks!

 

Blogger davidikus said ... (6:47 AM) : 

As pointed elsewhere: being sockless is an insult to good shoes... I rather like those small socks. I would wear them even in summer.

Goodhew has some great socks, and I have heard rumors of some great men's "footies" for Spring 11, but in the meantime, they have taken care of the women:

What's even better is that they are made out of Merino Wool, Bamboo etc. So they are even more comfortable in all seasons!!

wear womens size small, made from a stretchy fabric. you can find them in any color and when men with larger feet where them, they look like footies.

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (3:58 PM) : 

SmartWool socks make a footie sock that actually stay up! they are called the hide and seek OR for an even tinier footie, they're called the hide and sleek. they come in a few different colors and they are sleek hidden and warmer than a nylon sock! they might be on the website under women's but the sizes are universal, so a Large in the women's section is the same as a men's Large! good luck!

I'm with the "no" crowd. Socks ok, no socks ok, but not footies with these shoes. To tell you the truth, I'm not wild about theses shoes with these trousers either...

If you have to look for socks like these... you should get the hell out of wherever you are at the moment(the amazon, or kalahari desert).

We've been wearing those for yeeeeears.

I'm always too lazy to pull on a pair of socks with my oxfords, especially when I'm in a hurry, so I'm glad to know that it isn't a fashion crime, hehe.

Believe it or not, the 1970s brand Legg's sells a product they call massaging foot covers and they are just the right size to not be visible IN THE LEAST. CVS, Rite-Aid, Walgreens, they can be found everywhere.

Vans has socks especially for their slip-ons. You know how low slip-ons are so these socks are extremely low, too. You wouldn't see them like you do in this pic.
