A well fitting pair of socks not only provides cushion between your bare foot and the floor, but it also provides cushion between your foot and your shoe. The importance of this latter fact is proportional to the fit of one's shoe.
There is nothing that can equal the basic warmth that a pair of socks adds to the wearing of shoes in the winter. Try wearing shoes in the snow without socks vs. with socks, and you'll realize the wisdom of wearing socks with shoes for warmth almost immediately.
One's choice of color and style of socks contributes greatly to the impact of one's footwear to one's wardrobe. Striped knee socks SAY something! So do lime green fuzzy footies. Make a unique statement with pizzazz!
A comfy pair of cotton socks will absorb and wick away excess moisture (sweat) from the foot, preventing slippage and the formation of blisters.
In addition to all of the other functions they perform, a pair of socks will keep one's feet clean from dirt. Whether you're wearing them with shoes or without, socks provide a layer of insulation from the dirt, dust and grime of the world our feet would otherwise encounter.
Common sense that my kids never did get, lol!
