7 Men’s Shoes To Wear Sockless This Spring Go Sockless This Spring! Okay, well not completely sockless because I do recommend peds for uhmm…odor and sweat reasons if the shoe allows it.  But really though. Let those ankles breathe this spring! Why? A) Because who needs sweaty socks during the warmer months. B) It’s a great way to get rid of that ugly sock tan when wearing shorts. C) Less laundry? I mean, I hate matching up socks when it comes to folding time, don’t you? So roll up your chinos and cuff those jeans and let’s dare to show off some “skin.” From Top to Bottom, Left to Right Vans Authentic Canvas Shoes New Balance 501 Florsheim by Duckie Brown Suede Longwings Sperry Top-Sider Boat Shoes Mark McNairy Tasseled Loafers Matt Bernson Perf Smoker Modern Vice Clique Slipper FACEBOOK | TWITTER | BLOGLOVIN | PINTEREST | LOOKBOOK
