Well, I always put on socks before my sandals. Why not?

Well, it's generally considered to be ugly, but absolutely common in Germany (or math departments). Particularly with white sport socks.
Like anything that has to do with clothing conventions and fashion, there isn't a reason. It just is.
I live in Germany and I seriously see ~20% of my colleagues go around the office in Birkenstock and white socks.
