Mine are actually black on the bottom cause I wear no shoes at home.
I figure I clean the floors while I walk around.

I don't like wearing stuff on my feet when I'm inside.

I like being barefoot.

When I had hardwood floors my socks were always dust magnets. I could always tell when it was floor washing day just by looking at my socks  wink

Nothing inherent.  But ever since the rude, inconsiderate people of the world adopted them as a sort of uniform it's best just not to wear them.  Unfair as it may be, you will be judged.

I don't ever turn my heat on until November 1st, and even then, it's kept between 55 and 60 degrees, so this time of year, there's not much nekkidness going on in my humble abode.

Unfortunately.

Right now, I have on sweatpants, and a sweater. My nose and hands are still kind of cold,  but that's okay because unlike everyone else, I'm not going to be complaining when the heating bill comes.

I have socks specifically for the winter. We have hardwood floors so it does get chilly walking in the winter. My circulation isn't great either with my hands and feet getting cold so winter wool socks it is. Otherwise it is barefoot during the summer

I went without heat one winter for 6 weeks & the low was about 60°. I fixed it when the temp reach the low 80's inside.
I have to wear a boot to walk & wish I could wear white socks.

Crusty white sox are drama magnets, and that's just science.

This winter we're in an apartment that has utilities included in our set rent payment. So we can turn on the heat when we get cold. I'm so excited! Last year we didn't turn it on until the first week of December. Even in NM it was pretty cold.

Got you beat.

When I was shooting in New Jersey last spring, I camped. Woke up one morning and it was 32 degrees out.

Getting out of the sleeping bag was pretty horrible.

Not really!
I have slept outdoors in below freezing weather in the past.
It's really not that bad if you have lived outside for a few days.  Your body gets acclimated to the weather.  When I get back home it's too hot in the house.

I was camping in the White Mountains in New Hampshire, through October of 2013, and my body definitely got used to cold weather where sleeping outdoors didn't really phase me anymore, even in the 30s. I was hiking in the 20s, and also pretty comfortable, as long as I stayed moving.

I prefer skiing when the temperature is in the 20s.
Years ago I hiked in the White Mountains.

I have "Tee Pee Creepers" that I got while in Alaska and some seriously warm things to wear around inside. smile http://teepeecreepers.com/

I like a low heating bill and also like a NO a/c bill in the summer too.

Besides cooling the air conditioner lowers the humidity.  smile

What's wrong with wearing black ones so the dirt doesn't show?  Geez people, get it together!  tongue
