Can i get a cold this way?!?!?!?!? What are your thoughts/opinions?!??!?!?

i love wearing flats. they are my favorite type of shoes. i love wearing them all the time, but my mom hates when i wear them in the winter. she seems to think that i am going to catch a cold or pneumonia because my feet are "overly exposed". but only a small portion of my feet are showing and they arent cold. she wants me to wear socks when i wear flats and i think that wearing socks and flats is tacky. i feel its the equivalent to wearing flip flops and socks.

i have never personally heard of anyone catching a cold because they have worn flats. what are your ideas on the situation??

sidenote: if you are wondering about the weather where i live, the lowest its been all winter has been 44degrees. just yesterday it was 55degrees. (thats not cold in my opinion)
