Hot take(?): sock-shoe, sock-shoe is the superior method

Foot comes up, sock goes on, clean sock goes into shoe. A smooth motion that bypasses the chance of something getting on the bottom of your sock before your foot gets locked in. Sock-sock, shoe-shoe means a floored sock is going into the shoe with whatever might be stuck to it.

Now you might say "clean your floors", but before you do - you know that I know that you know if you have pets that's a weak dismissal of the potential I'm talking about here. Coarse dog hairs, grit from the bottoms of paws, shards of cat nails, etc.. Pet leavins are a constant presence, and my feet go into my shoes each morning assured that these annoyances will not intrude on the ritual.

Dr. Schusensachs recommends putting on your socks first

no, because your shoes should be near the door, not in the same place that you put your socks on

What in the motherfuck is this blasphemy?

That's not a "hot take," that's a bloody crime!

Who is putting socks on after shoes?

So the thing that makes sock-shoe superior relies entirely on whether or not you have pets/klean floors?

Wouldn't have half as much Bacteria on your floors if you open up your blinds.

I'd say it's more of a selling point than a foundation. I also find the method to be a more efficient sequence.

Now , I will say this: I lace and tie all my casual wear shoes such that they are able to be slipped on and off, which removes a step that a lot of people do. So if you tie your shoes every time you put them on, I'm willing to concede that sock-sock, shoe-shoe could feel more intuitive.
