It's a lost battle, Doc. Here's my free advice, for what it's worth. If you want to wear socks, and the unit you're in approves it, then wear socks. I wear socks --the sewn together 3 piece version-- since it's more comfortable for my feet. Most of the time, commercial caligae don't really fit very well in the first place, and I have not yet purchased a custom-fit pair for financial reasons.
Because I have a problem with my feet that makes it pretty difficult, even painful, to wear caligae on hard surfaces, I put a supporting insole inside the sock. I'm fully aware that probably never happened in any form except and unless a sock-wearing Ancient Roman put layers of wool felt under his feet.
On the other hand, nobody can see what's inside my socks, my feet don't ache after a couple of hours, and I'm happy with it. Other people who are not of such a mind don't have to wear socks/insoles, and I won't say a word about their choices.
On caligae day, I'm gellin
