I wear my Mickey crocs every day, WITH socks, even when wearing shorts! They are the low-cut socks, but you can still see them...a VERY good way to embarass your teenagers!
Although I generally just wear my crocs at home, I would wear crocs with socks - no problem. I would not wear them with the short noshow socks. I'd wear them with an ankle sock with a folded over cuff. I don't own any cute kitchy socks, but I think those would be dute too - especially with bold colored crocks.
I'm not in the least bit fashion concious generally, so I'm surprised there are people doing what I consider off limits! I'd say wear the sock, but wear them proudly and boldly - no little noshows!
My 10 year old has disney crocs, and this summer in Disney he had some blisters on the top sides of his feet after the first few days. I think the sweating feet in the heat was the cause. He decided to wear sox (ankle) wiht his crocs for a few days (he did not want to wear his sneakers). I thought he looked cute. My sister thought he looked my grandfather. Sox with crocs is great if it keeps you comfy.
I wear my crocs everyday, and always with socks. Then again, I never go without socks...I sleep in them and wear them all the time, except when I'm swimming or in the shower. I just can't stand to not have socks on my feet.
