Socks first, then shoes, left to right.
I don't care if Archie Bunker thinks I'm insane, I'm not hopping around on one shoe clad foot to escape a fire.

I wonder if it's genetic how we choose to clad our feet?
Is it learned from watching those around you?
Does it depend if you are right or left handed?
So many deciding factors 
Its a bit like drying yourself after a wash...everyone is different to a certain extent, but as you get older, the routine probably remains constant.

OK, I gotta ask, whatever made you think to ask this question? |

Wherein lies the dilemma DC - are you caught between a sock and a hard place? |

I almost always wear flip-flops, when I can. |

But aren't we all glad I did? Now people are thinking about it when the feet cladding time of the day comes along....

Yeti, your thread is much more complex than mine. I just talk about feet

Yeti: Same here, and with most of my shoes I just go sockless anyhow. But when the time is nigh to be donning multiple layers of footwear, its left, left, right, right for me.
And it was actually Mike (Rob Reiner) who suggested hopping on one foot so it stays dry. I am totally down with that logic. |

Is this a Tasmanian question?
Actually, the first one on is the closest. Another thing is i dislike open shoes to point of almost being phobic.
Must be 17 odd years of being in kitchens.
