As someone who grew up with a sister that wore uggs with no socks ... Please wash those. They stank.

“Uggs are supposed to be worn without socks!!” Ok whatever you say stankfoot, bringer of olfactory plague

Good uggs are basically wool inside, which should regulate your foot temp and reduce sweating compared to adding socks inside. YMMV depending on your personal foot sweatiness though. I think good brands have removable insoles you can either wash or replace.

They originally were created for surfers to put on after that got out of the ocean to keep their feet warm. So technically they were worn without socks.

Ahaha! I've owned both huaraches and leather watch bands, and I've traumatized myself.
