Want to weigh in with one more sock/shoe situation: when I’m in the changing room at the pool and the floor around me is wet from me dripping all over, there is no other place to put a socked foot down, so it goes straight into the shoe.

Those two activities are unrelated to me. sock/sock after the shower, shoe/shoe before leaving the dwelling.

In most cases socks then shows. My shoes are by the door so it doesn’t make sense to do anything else; shoes are gross and not wearing them inside is better.

Exception: I injured my back and doing sock+shoe was easier but, still, by the door

Wearing shoes around the house is filthy.

Why are am I being interrogated?

That depends on if you are a psychopath or not

Sock shoe for me. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. There’s no amount of sweeping and two Roombas that gets all the hair, even with hardwood flooring.

Sock/shoe then shoe if you’re playing dwarf fortress…

sock/sock shoe/shoe because I put in my socks in the bedroom but don’t put in my shoes until I get to the closet by the front door.

Sock/sock then shoe/shoe. Because I’m not a psychopath…

Anyone wearing one sock and shoe with one fully naked foot is either deeply deranged or some kind of alien pod person. It is a pale approximation of human behavior. Unless you are stumbling away from a grenade attack or something, there is no reason to ever exist like that, even momentarily.

Sock/sock, then shoe/shoe, because the shoes are in a different room. Walking around in shoes indoors is a big nono.

Shoes belong in the entryway. Socks in the bedroom. Socks will always be put on before shoes.

There are a couple of niche situations where one might put socks and shoes on at the same time/place, but the norm of socks first then travelling to the shoes dictates that socks first, shoes after.

The one exception is when for example, changing in a public space, or outside, where you don’t want to get your sock dirty, so you put sock then shoe and then sock then shoe

Sock, sock shoe, shoe.

Usually because I put my socks on in the bedroom, but my shoes are by the back door: i don’t put them on unless I am going outside.

Shoe/shoe then sock/sock so your shoes don’t get dirty
