I'd really like to know where you got this from.

the first socks ever, were made of animal skin aka leather...they were meant to keep feet warm though, not for much else...as they've evolved they've become more anti-microbial and meant to keep feel either cool, or warm by how they deal with moisture. clean socks are better than none though hygienic reasons... but not wearing socks with leather boots or shoes is going to make those shits smell/sweat, period...please wear socks js..

leather does not absorb bacteria or odor. only cotton or synthetic materials do. cotton being the worst. if you sweat in leather you are fine. if you sweat in cotton socks the bacteria will live in the fibers and multiply, eventually leading to odor. i would never go sockless in sneakers or any shoe that did not have a leather sole and upper and full leather lining/footbed.

yes, there are some socks that are antimocrobial and some that are moisture wicking and such, but those are athletic socks that shouldn't be worn with lace-up oxfords.

^I'm wearing leather Moma loafers right now - sockless. I've been wearing them all summer this way and they have absolutely NO bad odor. It's really surprising

I wore my new Sonora perforated boots without socks the other day. By the end of the day they had stretched out a bit, and it wasn't as snug...but it was damn comfy and cool.

those aren't suede. they are the basic carpe diem 6-hole boot. and for something like that you will need tol break the bank. as in completely destroy it to the tune of about $1K.

^ Well i don't want the carpe diem...more so i guess just seeing if anyone knows of any online (or at stores) that are of this general style - a rougher/beat up leather with or without laces.

Even though $1K, they're sick boots

those ted bakers are a BIG TIME rip off, even on sale. unless you can score them for about $100, ted baker shoes are a total waste of money. absolute junk quality.
