> [@Scarlett67](#): > > Forgot the obligatory [_All in the Family_ reference:](http://www.skylinetoshoreline.com/trivial.html) This is the first thing I thought of as far as the sock/shoe sock/shoe sock sock/shoe shoe contoversy goes. Having seen that show at an impresionable age, I forever associate sock sock shoes with conservative politics, and sock shoe sock shoe with liberal. I have to say I have done both…does that make me a libertarian??? ---

For me, it’s sock, sock, pants, shirt, leave bedroom, find shoes, shoe, shoe. (If I’m in a situation where I’m already fully dressed except for socks, that usually means it’s the weekend and the socks get the weekend off except for special occasions.) ---

> [@Khadaji](#): > > for me it is sock sock and the shoes come much much later. I hate wearing shoes so they don’t go on until I leave the house. That’s right. I put on my socks after taking my shower, but I wear my slippers for as long as I stay in the house. Shoes only appear when I head outdoors. ---

I’m going to dress like the Hed Hot Chili Peppers for Halloween, so for that day, it’ll be sock, sock, sock, shoe, shoe. 🙂 Every other day it’s sock sock shoe shoe. ---

Considering I rarely, if ever, put on my socks and shoes at the same time, I’d have to go with sock sock shoe shoe, working from left to right. Sometimes pants precede socks, but usually they come on after. ---

I keep my shoes in the little entranceway by the door, so unless I want to do a very awkward balancing act with my bags in a very narrow space, it’s sock, sock, walk to the front door, shoe, shoe. ---
