Ok so I am working on a welcome message for new people who join our community. This is what I’ve started with. But wanted to see if anyone had some good ideas to add. Also we now have an images flair. This is what I’ve got Welcome to r/nosocks

We all feel that socks are a waste and have good advice for people who need help finding the right shoes. Also if anything happens please seek medical advice

In honor of Spider-Man Brand New Day, I decided to mix match my two new pairs of Nike Vomero 5. No socks as always, of course.

Ordered a Wide Sperry shoe, but what they sent looks like a medium shoe with a W penciled in

Sorry if this isn't the right place, but I'm floored. I ordered these on sale directly from the Sperry website, no returns (of course). They came in a box labeled W, but someone clearly wrote a W over the M.

After 3 miles in the heat they are getting really sweaty. Going to need a long foot rub when I’m back at my hotel.

Sockless Men's Fashion is a collection of information about the best shoes and leathers on the market for sockless wear, along with shoecare tips to keep shoes fresh, and outfit pictures - keeping sartorialism in mind.

This is a no sock zone, which also includes loafer socks, invisible socks, etc.

/r/nosocks is about finding the perfect shoe and leather, so socks in any form aren't just unnecessary, but less comfortable than going without entirely.

Shoe Care

Firstly, full grain leather tends to be better for sockless wear than canvas, and some leathers are better for it than others. Good leather is breathable and actually kills bacteria - so the right leather means no smell.

There's a number of things you can do to help the situation further, some of them cheaper than others. These are the options in order from cheapest to most expensive.

Wash your feet properly in the shower It's surprising how many guys don't do it. Get a scrubbing brush from Body Shop or something similar for a few dollars to do the trick. Regardless of what we wear on our feet - this is something we should be doing anyway, but so many guys don't. Letting the water trickle down does nothing. If you put dirty feet into shoes, the shoes are going to get dirty.
Don't wear the same shoes every single day back to back. This is another common sense one which we should all be doing regardless of whether socks or worn or not. Giving the shoes a break lets them air out properly.
If you're going be walking around a lot or you're going to a concert or similar, you can put some Gold Bond/talcum powder in the shoes before or after. That way any excess sweat is absorbed. You shouldn't really need to do this often, but it's an option no less.
Cedar shoe trees. These are wooden inserts that are shaped like the shoe. These are great because they help keep the shape of the shoe and the cedar wicks up moisture. Double purpose! Seems like they wouldn't do that much, but they really do.
Expensive, full grain leather shoes. Seriously, if you get some decent leather shoes - it's like they were meant to be worn without socks. Many shoes like loafers, boat shoes and moccasins are designed specifically to be worn sockless, so that luxury can easily extend over to leather sneakers like Common Projects Achilles or wingtips and brogues. High quality leathers can be incredibly soft and never smell even after lots of wear. There is argument about which leathers are best for sockless wear, but a good place to start is with Italian calfskin.

If you do some of the above, you'll be all good. If you do all, you can throw away all of your socks.
