You didn't care about a very expensive pair of shoes or even better you could afford replacing them without any problem..

Done right, I think it looks great. I'm still on the fence about sockless with a suit though...

I hurt my feet once when forced by circumstances to wear shoes without socks.

The thought of not wearing socks for aesthetic reasons never crosses my mind.

What if I tattooed my ankles to look like socks? The real OneSock.

I've also considered just using a red marker on my ankles when I go sockless - very British cool.

Holy, I always figured that was a gag picture or something.

That picture alone should discredit his clothing. I don't normally dislike fashion forward trends as much as others on here, but damn that pic. Seriously, I was naive to think that no man could wear that, let alone the masthead for the clothing line !
