I always thought socks with sandals was the symbol of a german tourist. I got funny looks when I lived in Germany for wearing my sandals without socks. Whitebeard M17 #14, Griselda

Funny. I lived in Israel for 3 years, and there socks and sandals was the symbol of a new immigrant, not yet quite accustomed to the rules of conduct. However I have a friend from Seattle and on him socks and sandals look perfectly natural. It must be something special about this combination... unlike other ones which do not atract such strong opinions.
