I wouldn't say they are necessary. I may wear hose or hiking/boot socks depending on what I'm doing.
Sandals are pretty nice during the summer.
I usually use garter ties for comfort if I wear anything at all. Some of my hose stays up really well without help so I'll skip it for them.
YMMV
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
