I found wearing socks makes my vibrams much less sweaty. I have some xero trek sandals i’ve been working up to wearing without socks on long walks and they’re working great, especially when my feet get wet.
There seem to be two kinds of autistic people: those who can’t stand socks, and those who always wear them because they can’t stand feeling the slightest bit of debris on their feet. I seem to be the second type. I can go on a barefoot walk deliberately, if I wash up directly afterward, but casually walking around with no shoes is a total non starter, which is pretty unfortunate. I have gotten a massive benefit from zero drop minimal shoes though.
I avoid wearing shoes wherever I can, this does include avoiding socks as much as possible. I do have some toesocks for my remaining Vibrams but if I’m not in an interview for a new job I’ll most probable wear neither nor.
