Who puts on shoes right after putting on socks in the first place?

    People who are putting on socks and shoes to be presentable outside of their house and have been barefoot or in sandals up to this point.

    People who don’t live in the cold?

    Having cotton on the inner layer defeats the purpose of the wool though?

    Not necessarily. It would be similar to cotton long John's underneath wool pants. It just creates pockets of air. The heat comes from your foot. The extra barrier would eliminate conductive heat transfer from your foot to the wool while adding in pockets of air such transfer less heat via convective transfer. The problem would be if your foot sweats as now you're adding in a cotton layer that will absorb that moisture and reduce its insulating properties.

    But when it’s not cold there’s no need for socks?
