Well a lot of Brits. wear socks with their sandals so I don't suppose that is any better. Surely the only piece of advice any traveller needs is, respect the customs and traditions of the country you are visiting.

I see some Americans doing that, too. And I always think to myself, "If your feet are so cold that you need to wear socks, then why are you wearing sandals instead of proper shoes?" :laugh:

Doesn't wearing socks with sandals defeat the purpose of wearing sandals? ???
