Over the past few days spring has fully sprung in Dublin, the sun has been shining, the trees have been blooming and everything is waking up from the long winter sleep. With the temperatures rising I have decided to let the weather ‘knock my socks off’ (couldn’t resist this awful pun) and relegate my socks to the back of the drawer and go sock-less again. So over the last three days my feet have been bare in my shoes and I have enjoyed the freedom of unhindered wiggling of toes.
Now I only hope that my socklessness state can continue until much later this year and who knows, maybe by offering up an extra few patches of exposed skin to the sun my vitamin D intake will skyrocket. Additionally I won’t need to spend time sorting my socks – I like them in pairs – and I’ll even save some (even if only small) space in the washing machine.
So maybe I should look around and see what else I could dispel and discover what I may gain by doing so.

Delightful! Autumn here now!
Feeling so happy
The only time I wear socks is in Ireland, NYC and Los Angeles (in the winter), otherwise it’s flip-flops in Key West. However, I wil bring a sweater or two to Dublin just in case! Think Key West blood chills easily!
And I think I may have the opposite problem 🙂
Nice shoes! Yes, away with socks when the sun shines well! And i summer I prefer barefoot all the time inside and out at time since terrain or circumstance require protection/coverings on my feet. (Sandals will do…)
I’m so with you – I’ve had those shoes since 2002 … can’t believe it… I am a big flip flop lover in the summer
I get that–my faves are still around. Since leather has seemed more replaced with manmade materials, I do hang on to a number of good shoes fashioned of leather that are getting rather worn down. We can always re-sole them, thankfully, something I have done a few times 🙂
I only wear leather shoes and natural fabrics … sensitive skin and all that. And a good cobbler is worth so much
