BOATERS NEED TO WEAR SOCKS TOO
posted: Sep. 24, 2019.
Even if you aren’t the biggest fan of how your boat shoes look paired with socks, you should throw some on anyway to avoid damaging your feet. According to podiatrist Stephanie Fields, DPM, not wearing socks causes excessive sweating which, in turn, “causes the formation of blisters and the development of foot and nail fungus.”

The only thing worse than wearing shoes without socks is wearing the same socks over and over again. Per Dr. Fields, doing this can lead to “the development of fungus and other diseases”—which is not only bad for your body, but it’s rather unsightly, too!
