I am, the thought of not putting on my socks first would be wrong.

If they're loose, I'll put my socks on after the pants.
If tight, socks go on first.

(1,819 posts)If I put socks on first and change my mind about the pants, I might have to change the socks. It's just easier to do the pants first.

Those are the only reasons I'd ever do socks first.

(34,131 posts)But since I messed up my knees, it's easier to put my socks on first. After the knee replacements, while in the rehab hospital, they taught me to use a sock puller and you have to put your socks on first with that thing. Even though now I can bend my new knees enough to not need the sock puller, it's still easier to put them on first.

(55,004 posts)explanation: cold house, so in winter I often leave my socks on for a couple days
otherwise I usually do socks after pants, if at all - tend to go barefoot if the weather allows it and I'm not going to town or something.

.....and no intelligent person can think otherwise! (Oops, sorry I thought I was in GD for a moment).

Now with diabetes you cream the feet and put the socks on immediately.
