Socks or Hose with boots?

secondtake20 · 17th September 2008, 02:53

I was thinking this afternoon after my experience (Oh No what have I done??? under Everybody Discussion). What does everyone else wear when they wear their boots, socks or hose? I was wearing hose due to the fact the boots I was wearing are a size too small. I didn't know what size to buy when I bought them. I was just being nosey.

Trouser socks or knee highs do the trick for me.

I don't wear boots but I always wear hose with my heels.

Socks just make my feet too hot, especially with boots, so trouser socks, knee highs and nylons are my choice.

Hi secondtake20,

I wear both, 60/40 kneehighs/hose. They both do the trick and very comfy with boots. If I am wearing booties or ankle boots I use kneehighs, kneehigh boots I am in hose. Once winter comes in Canada, I even go with tights for more warmth.
Hardly ever use socks in boots, just does not feel right.

well, for me it all depends on the particular pair (any of 3 I have of knee high boots) that I'm wearing, its all in how they feel to my feet with that style of boot, I've found that that all have a different need for different socks/hose, the 3rd pair doesnt really count I would guess, in this case in that they are completly flat (these are my all day WALKING boots worn only when I need to walk down the number of hills in my neighborhood from my house where I live, since wearing the other 2 HIGH HEEL boots is not very sensible since I have had a very hard time almost twisting my ankle in doing so)

If I'm wearing stiletto heeled boots it's hose, other heel types like cowboy/cowgirl would be socks. I just don't feel "rite" wearing socks with stilettos.

I wear very short black ankle socks. Nothing exciting.

I always wear knee highs with boots, sometimes tights or stockings, if the outfit demands it;)

Moving on, I prefer to knee highs rather than socks as the latter are always too thick. The exception is when I'm wearing heavy men's shoes, then it's knee highs under the socks for comfort.

I know i'm in the minority, but most of the times I prefer to go barefoot in boots. Last year, I mostly did hose or really thin socks. We'll see what this winter has in store for me!
