Without knowing anything about this guy, it seems like he'd be the kind of person who'd wear socks under his Crocs because it's comfortable and he doesn't care.
Hahaha. When I knew Simon Peyton Jones he didn't wear shoes at all—just bare feet—in Glasgow—one of the coldest, wettest cities in the UK.
Maybe he got more hardcore over time. I was (one of) his undergrads at UCL when he was a newly minted professor and I think he was one of the socks-with-sandals crew (vs sandals without, and those who wore regular shoes).
