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

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.

Wearing shoes is definitely not just a social construct. They protect your feet.

To some degree that's true. But these days the ground contains more dangerous objects than it used to. Specifically hazardous man-made stuff

If it was just nature and we still mostly had like forest floor and such, then probably for the most part it'd be safe yeah. Well, with the exception of plants or animals that could damage your feet or bite you
