Socks with Crocs

Can you really get away with wearing socks with your crocs?

Crocs are fabulous, but wearing them with socks-  Is that not a major fashion mistake?  It's just like wearing sandals with socks which everyone knows is the biggest error anyone could possibly make.
Just a quick scan over the internet will show you what a talking point this subject is, and I'd say around 70% think it's a bad look, but the majority of those people admit it's still a good idea for comfort and warmth together.
Of course, a good pair of Nadia Crocs will solve that problem, but in the summer, you want to wear your Cayman's whilst take the edge off the odd cold breeze.  So in that respect, it's a pretty good idea.  However:

A Google image search will demonstrate many other examples of this bizarre combination of Crocs with socks.  All these pictures bring back harrowing memories of my childhood- being 10 years old, and my mother still insisting I wear little black shoes with knee length white socks.

It looks so disastrous, because it's so obvious and garish.  Therefore, the key to wearing Crocs with socks is simply to make it subtle.  It's important that your feet are as comfortable as they can be, and it's possible to do that while being discreet.  Wearing small trainer socks which match the colour of your Crocs is the perfect solution.
