Should the Dolphin Lace Up Flats be worn barefoot, or should socks be worn?

The fit criterion is bare feet, and the care caution is color transfer. KHIHO's DOLPHIN LACE UP FLATS are made true to size to fit snugly on the foot when worn barefoot^[1]. SATIN is used for the upper wrapping the instep, and RUBBER is used for the sole^[2].

However, if sweat or moisture builds up on the feet, color may transfer to the contacting skin or socks^[3]. Generally, satin material shoes feel soft against bare feet, but when sweat permeates, internal dye tends to bleed out easily. If you plan to wear them lightly barefoot, it is better to avoid rainy days or long walks where sweat easily builds up. Conversely, if you plan to wear thin socks over your feet to prepare for sweat and color transfer, considering the thickness of the socks and choosing one size up with more room is a natural decision.
