"Sir,please don't wear socks",said the salesperson after he gave me my new Clarks sandals in exchange for a few blue notes I have to give up for a pair shoes with no walls around them."I beg your pardon.."...Nobody told me not to wear sock since I was admitted to a full boarding school in 1965.Previously I did wear socks under duress but now I insist that I must wear socks.The socks kept me warm(advice taken from Hani) and the socks also kept my loose bones intact!When I asked why I should not wear socks,the salesperson was advising me not to wear sock whenever I wear sandals.I asked him why not and he replied it is against the codes of fashion!Oh I see....I thanked him and said good bye.At least I learn something today about how to dress;-)At my age,comfort and safety over ride any fashion taboos.
By the way,I read a few years ago that only geeks wear sandals.
Sandal raya ye Pak? :)Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Aliff tak beli apa pun untuk diri sendiri tahun ini, cuma kuih raya untuk emak.

Adib, I never wear sock with saddle. Even with shoe I avoid using sock, remember we are in the tropic!. Take care.
