As for the dirty socks from outside thing, that's just a rite of passage when you're a little kid. My mom told me when she was a little girl in the fifties, the outside of her underwear would get dirty from playing.

If it continues to be a big deal, ask that the parents buy a pair of slippers like Cat said for the inside and mud boots for outside. Other than that, just keep asking for dark or stained socks, and keep plenty of backups.
