wet socks
Squelching with steps
Wet socks are socks that have become soaked with water or moisture, typically from rain, puddles, or sweat.
The phrase captures a specific minor misery—the cold, squelching discomfort that persists until you can change them: I stepped in a puddle and now I have wet socks.
Few sensations are as disproportionately unpleasant.
