NO. Colds are caused by a virus.
This is an old wives tale but it has some truth in the fact that if you are very cold your immune system may be compromised and then you will be more susceptible to catching a cold but only if you have been in contact with another person with the virus. Colds & flu are a virus that you have to catch so not wearing socks will not give you a virus but if you are always cold which in turn runs you down then yes you may be more likely to catch something.

∙ 11y agoNot wearing socks can cause you to feel cold, but common colds are caused by viruses not being cold. See the related question below for more information.

∙ 12y agoNo, only a virus causes the flu or a cold. Being indoors is a good way to get sick, from other people passing germs. But, being cold can not cause you to catch a cold.

It would make you more comfortable if your feet feel cold, otherwise, it would make no difference in the speed of your recovery with or without wearing socks. Studies have been done with people sitting with their feet in ice water and they did not have an increase in the incidence of catching the flu, nor any measured delayed recovery from the flu if already infected.

Why do Irish people wear long socks?
I did not see anyone in Ireland wearing long S-O-C-K-S when I was there. If they did, it was under their pants, and likely because they were cold. You may be thinking of men wearing tall socks with their kilts. Both the Irish and Scots wear tall socks with traditional dress kilts.
