WHY?!?!?

What is up with the whole 'sock's with sandals' thing??? I know I'm not the first person, or the last, to bring this topic up, but it just boggles my mind...

I'm all for freedom of expression, individuality, and personal sense of style. But seriously, socks and sandals?!?!?? What is the appeal of combining the two? Now I'm not talking about the new fashion of stockings or socks worn with various fashinable heels, I'm talking about regular everyday wool or cotton socks worn with flip flops, athletic sandals, and birkenstocks. From the people I've seen wearing this combo; it doesn't look particularly comfortable, especially the ones that wear the thong style sandals with socks. One of the greatest quality's about sandals is that they allow for your feet to breath, stay cool and are freeing and comfortable. They were designed for the feet for hot and wet conditions so why add socks to them?? How comfortable can they be in the hot sun and sand with socks on?!?!? I'm sure some people think it’s a good look, but not every person that wears this combo can think it’s fashionable or remotely attractive. Especially the shorts with calf/knee high socks and sandals look... I just want to know why. I'm not here to judge, I'm just curious. As I was walking along the beach today I came across at least 6 people sporting this trend and it got my mind running and wondering what the appeal is for these people. If your worried about hurting your feet on hikes or something then why not just wear runners?? They'd keep your feet more protected then a layer of cloth.. Anyways, I just thought I'd pose the question as to why and see what people have to say...
