Sorry but I am not familiar with this fellow but he looks like an attention whore to me. Is he a bull fighter?

OMG yes. Tons and tons and tons of hot women. And lots of handsome men, if that is your thing.

2nd floor near the sushi conveyor belt is the place to be.

I wear my converse all stars with no socks.... but not dress shoes

I stand in them.

Love desert boots, I can see them sockless with shorts, althought I wouldn't wear them like that.

You can't throw a rock 5 feet in the Bowery and not hit a smoking hot chick.

I can't believe I missed another edmorel's rules thread.

How does the saying go? Something like: "There are only two types of men who can wear shoes without socks: models for Ralph Lauren and homosexuals."

I do it all the time.

I also can't think of anything I care less about than what some dude on a forum thinks of it either.

If done right, it can look good. But most people do it wrong.

I wear my boat shoes without socks all the time. I also wear my casual penny loafers (leather and suede) with no-show socks and shorts.

The only time I wear dress shoes without socks is when I am breaking them in - a few hours each day for about 3 days after I get the shoe. I find that the break in process is easier this way, and I'll rightaway know about the fit.
