Socks
I have owned only one pair of sandals in my life. That was during my year at Hebrew University over 30 years ago when I went native. In fact, since then, I have never put on shoes without socks underneath. The very thought of going sockless grosses me out.
I was moved to write this post by what I saw this morning at minyan. A bunch of men either wearing Na'ot or loafers without socks, during davening. Call me old fashioned but I just don't get that. Whatever.
Ironically, I am sitting at my desk this morning sockless, in Na'ot. I got caught in a torrential rain this morning for which an umbrella was useless. My regular shoes and socks are soaked and are drying. Feels goofy.

I agree. After all, as the midrash teaches our father Abraham put on a pair of tube socks before composing shacharis.

Simple is elegant. Ever wear any other colors? What style/length are your socks?

Huh? If those are colors, I can only imagine how you refer to the lengths...
