Do you wear socks or barefeet in class?

I have known a few sock wearers in my time. Apparently there are enough out there that you can buy grappling socks.

I posted in another area as well but we practice in a public gym where the floor can be very dirty at times. I am considering some grappling socks possibly for that people wear in their street shoes on the same surface.

I don't wear socks for the opposite reason. My socks can get pretty sweaty normally, and I'd rather not spend a couple hours sweating in them throughout class, and then if I didn't bring a change of socks a couple more before I have a chance to get out of them. In your situation however, socks may be a good idea if your instructor is ok with it.

Our gym gets cold enough in the winter sometimes that I would probably really like those. Unfortunately, they seem to be on the expensive side.

Scuba shows mabye?

SCUBA socks tend to be lycra. They're intended to be worn for extra warmth and prevention of blisters under SCUBA boots. They're slippery, by design, since it's near impossible to get wet SCUBA gear on and off if it's not slippery. They are completely inappropriate for any sort of MA activity.
