Wearing socks *is* a social construct
-
parents feeding children is a social construct.
See, I dunno about that one. I have a very strange and almost primal urge to feed kids. I think it's generic programming.

Socks keep your shoes from absorbing sweat and help prevent blisters. Theyโre useful beyond the social construct.

Edit: Damn. Some of you are threatened by not knowing what a social construct is but really want to argue about socks instead of asking DDG so you can understand wtf is going on before leaving a comment.
I'd be proud of this shit show, OP

Functional construct

This would be a great time to remind him that we live in a society...
Wait till he finds out that time is a flat circle

Then why do they exist?

"You've made a correct observation, now please provide an argument why the social construct of x should not be adhered to. X is dumb and I don't wanna is not sufficient."
I think something being dumb is a perfectly valid reason to not do the thing.

Not wearing stinky shoes is a social construct.

I love when people say "ackchyually you're wrong" without offering an alternative.

if you didn't wear socks then you'll have to wash your shoes daily or risk getting something like a yeast infection of the foot or athletes foot.

They get that from their stuffed tiger.

Technically clothes are a social construct.
Religion as well.
Clothes as a concept started with utilitarian purposes like staying warm or cool. There are a lot of social constructs around clothes including when and what is worn in what contexts, but not the reason they exist in the first place.

Ok but wearing shoes is a social construct. People didn't wear shoes for thousands of years before shoes came along and they were just fine and full of blisters.

Replying to wrong comment?
You'll have to explain otherwise, since it makes no sense based on what I said.

If you were born the only person on earth, you would eventually have something like socks on your own accord. This is function, not social. They wouldn't be Xmas themed though, since no society exists to have invented Xmas and to show off your socks to.
Social constructs are, by definition, ideas or concepts.

As someone that grew up hating socks (parents only bought the ones with a thick seam at the toe), yes, the requirement to wear socks is a social construct. There are other ways to avoid smelly feet.
Currently, I wear shoes with washable insoles and I have multiple sets of these insoles. I also rotate between shoes, and these shoes can also go in the wash.
I do wear (nice, seamless) socks when I go hiking, but for day-to-day at the office they're unnecessary.

Arguments like these donโt work with kids. Let them experience themselves what is best for them. And have spare socks ready in case they change their mind afterwards

I was going to reply with "wait until their feet are in pain after a day without socks", but then your post happened. Looks like not everyone is built the same.
