But.....
No way any superhero is just wearin' socks.
They'd be worn out in no time and offer no protection. 
Ever tried runnin' round in your sock feet out doors?
You get hurt.

Spider-Man's "boots" are all spandex.  He can't get a grip on walls otherwise.  He's always having to take his shoes off to climb walls, but not his socks.  That was one quibble I had with the movies, because he was climbing the wall with his shoes on.  The lack of wear and tear on his footwear is just one of those comic book mysteries. ;)
