All four schools of thought say it's okay to wipe on leather socks. But for normal socks Hanafi says no but the other 3 say yes -- if we were to vote it would be 3 for and 1 against. Therefore the stronger position is wiping on normal everyday socks is allowed.

In a non Muslim public place typically the office are you going to put your feet in the sink in front of your colleagues? There will be more negativity than a positive impression as Western 'urf (customs) doesn't find this polite.

Of course, you could use the disabled toilet and do wudhu in private. But the religion is flexible and masah on socks makes life sooooooooo much easier. Just make sure you do wudhu at home and put socks on without delay!
