The only sneakers I wear sock less are canvas vans. The are not synthetic and "dry" better than most shoes that have synthetic uppers. If the sneakers you are looking at have synthetic uppers I would do the now shoes sock thing.

I've always thought it's not only silly but kind of disgusting not to wear socks.

When you get up in the morning, would you rather put your nice clean feet into some nice clean socks that will offer you protection, or would you rather put your nice clean feet directly into dirty sweaty shoes?

Not for me. The smell, man! It's not the most pleasant experience in the world, and if I can avoid it by wearing socks, I will.

I do like the look of no socks though, like when wearing the socks @King Gambit posted.

I never wear socks with my running shoes....it's just my personal preference; I don't like socks. My shoes go in the washing machine as needed and then they smell fine. Easy-peasy.

No opinion. I don't have sweaty feet, though.

Since it’s summer I want a pair of women's sneakers that I can throw on without wearing any kind of socks since I prefer not to wear socks in the summer, but I’m worried that If I don’t wear socks the shoes will get gross and start smelling awful. What is your opinion on wearing sneakers without socks? Have you ever worn sneakers without socks, if you did, then did you have any problems with the shoes smelling bad?
With me it depends on the season:

In Spring and Fall I might go sockless.
But not in Summer and Winter.

I bought a bunch of pairs of Sole Socks, they are insoles made of sock material (and some other textiles) that eliminate the need for socks. I can never get those sock liner things to stay straight on my feet when wearing flats, so these are way better.

Agree. I handwash my sneakers on a regular basis so foot-funk is not a problem. I did throw on some nike's w/out socks to go out one night and got blisters from standing around drinking for like 6hrs lol ~ Not cool@ all.

I get the low-cut socks for my gym sneakers. The only sneaks I don't wear with my socks are my Chucks.

I won't say MOST I guess, but for sure MANY people here on the gulf coast wear shoes without socks routinely. I never wear socks with my Sperry's or Sanuk's but I do with my Nike's. I guess it's a regional thing.
