Sock shoe sock shoe...who would do such an atrocious thing??

Someone who's old or infirm enough that reaching their feet is an ordeal, so they minimize the number of "trips".

Can't you just take pair of socks with you when going down? And maybe place one in the other shoe or on top of it?

I wear house shoes, and keep my outdoor socks with my outdoor shoes.

I do sock shoe sock shoe because the sequence takes less time overall that way.

Wait, you have outdoor socks to go with the outdoor shoes? What purpose does it serve to change your socks before going outside?
