slo’s FRIDAY 1/5 poll - Left Foot, Right Foot (putting on shoes & socks 🧦 👞🥾)

[slo]

Have you ever thought about how you put on your shoes and socks?
I was thinking about this the other day as I was getting ready to leave for the gym. I put on two ankle wraps, so it takes me awhile to put on shoes, socks & braces (time to think - some may be thinking of important things like current events or their finances, but I’m thinking of possible poll ideas - LOL!)

So I’m wondering?
What order do you put on your shoes & socks?
(multiple choice)


For Me……I always put on my right shoe first - it’d feel odd to put my left shoe on first. If I’m putting on socks & shoes at the same time - I do sock & shoe then sock & shoe.

 

[Kitty 34]

I always do right foot first for both socks and shoes.

 

[Meriweather]

I rarely wear socks, and then it is just socks in the house, no shoes.
I always just wear sandals going out.
But it would be left foot sock, right foot sock, left foot shoe, right foot shoe

 

[Kitty 34]

I wonder if it has anything to do with being left or right handed.

I'm right-handed.

 

[jo-jo]

I always wear shoes and socks. Feet hurt going without them. Doesn't matter which foot first.

 

[GAN]

I never really thought about this... so I suppose the right or left order changes. But it's always socks on first, then shoes...

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Right handed but I always do left first in everything I do and I have often wondered why ???
Socks first then shoes
I’m weird I’ve pondered these things myself at times

 

[fly girl]

No clue, they just magically appear on my feet!

I really don't pay any attention, just get them on and go.

I think I do my right foot first then left -- then shove both feet into slippers at the same time! I rarely put on shoes until I'm ready to leave the house, or at least downstairs. Socks go on when I get dressed, except sometimes in the summer when I wear a pair of flipflops around the house instead of slippers.

I had to sit here and think about this for a moment. I'm still not sure...I think maybe my right foot? I'll have to pay attention next time!

 

[Moliphino]

I think I do my right foot first? I don't really think about it. Both socks, then both shoes.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I think left sock/shoe then right foot sock/shoe.

Always interesting how many daily things we do with automatic behaviors.

 

[ronandannette]

I put my socks on when I’m getting dressed and shoes only at the door on my way out of the house. I don’t think I have a first-foot pattern.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

In thinking about it...it's always right first. I sometimes wear socks, and if I do, they go on first in the same order. I'm also very thankful I skipped the socks today. It's pouring and I stepped in a big puddle. I can deal with a soggy shoe much better than a soggy shoe and soaked sock.

 

[NAB]

Definitely my right first , then left. This is only in the winter though In in the bedroom . My shoes are by the front door.

Summer I get my socks bring them to the shoes and so socks first than running shoes. Go barefoot until than.

 

[design_mom]

I marked "right always" but i'm not sure "always" is as accurate as usually. But I do always do sock-sock, then shoe-shoe. In fact, it's usually socks, then pants, then shoes, I think. (Unless I wasn't planning on wearing socks, then change my mind later. But still, it'd be sock-sock-shoe-shoe. I generally wait till the last minute to put on my shoes.

 

[Meriweather]

I wonder if it has anything to do with being left or right handed.

I'm right-handed.

I'm right handed

 

[Babs Johnson]

Well, all I can truthfully say is that both my socks go on before my shoes. I really don’t pay attention as to which foot gets serviced first.

 

[Micca]

All I know is that if I'm not careful I might break out into the Hokey Pokey

 

[Wood Nymph]

Your poll reminds me of an "All in the Family" episode. Mike, the son-in-law, always put on a sock then the shoe on one foot before putting the sock and shoe on the other. Archie, the father-in-law, went ballistic, called him crazy and said that the correct order was socks first, then shoes.

I will put on a sock and then the shoe if I am on a surface that might be a little dirty, like in the basement. I don't want to get dirt on the sock. But I don't really have any consistency when it comes to shoes and socks.
