PY: Having gone to Bais Yaakov for almost my whole life, I have never heard that socks are optional. Ask any Bais Yaakov girl what she learned in school regarding this. What Bais Yaakov allows girls to go around with no socks?

In fact regarding bare feet, as far as I know, the halacha is “shok b’isha erva” and I just heard a psak from a very prominent Rav in Brooklyn who confirmed what I have just said. So this whole recent shtick with flip-flops in the frum community or bare legs is not halachically correct.

The only exception to this, that I have heard is for Sephardim, but you would have to ask one of our Sephardic friends to confirm that this is true.
