White Socks

Although I am a baseball fan, I am not writing about the famous Chicago team, but rather about white tennis socks in sandals.

It is true that a couple of years ago, white socks were a necessary summer accessory for old German men who liked airy feet in hot weather but did not like them naked.

A long time ago, number one in soccer.

From here, a legend was born, culminating in the myth that all stuffy bourgeois German males walking in sandals through European tourist resorts wear white tennis socks.

The pictures above were collected on the Internet over the years. On the contrary, below are Red Baron's bare, unattractive feet.

I show them naked from mid-April to mid-October, wearing just sandals, come rain or shine.
