stocking-foot

Bare inside shoe

Stocking-foot describes someone wearing socks but no shoes: She padded across the kitchen in her stocking feet.

The term also describes garments, especially waders or tights, that have integrated foot coverings rather than ending at the ankle: stocking-foot waders.

The hyphenated form typically modifies a noun; in stocking feet often appears without the hyphen.
