I've become the exact person who thinks it's funny to wear socks with sandals. My teenage sons are absolutely horrified. I'm leaning into it now because clearly I've already failed as a cool parent so why not commit to the bit.
Haha this is my future and I'm accepting it. My son already groans when I laugh at my own jokes so I'm basically there.
Wait until you start doing it on purpose just to get a reaction. That's when you know you've fully transitioned.
Socks with sandals is practical though. What are your teenage sons going to understand about foot comfort in 20 years?
This is the actual circle of life. My dad wore the worst stuff and I swore I'd never be him. Now I'm out here in cargo shorts and athletic socks with my Tevas. Embrace it.
Welcome to the club. My kids started giving me grief about the socks and sandals combo like six months ago. Now I wear them specifically to embarrass them at school pickup.

The socks with sandals thing hit different once you have kids. Suddenly comfort matters way more than looking cool. Your teenage sons will understand in like 15 years.
