Shia Muslims follow the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) which was taken from the most reliable narrators who are Ahlul Bayt (AS). Non Shia Muslims follow weak narrations fabricated by their rulers who did not care for the real Sunnah but paid money to narrators to fabricate whatever the rulers wanted. Wiping over the socks is against Quran which orders to wipe over the feet not the socks. Sura 5, verse 6.

We are been ordered to follow the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) who said: Pray as you saw me praying.

'Washing our face from up to down, and facing our forehead from elbow to wrist is according to Wudhu of the Prophet (SAWA). We have to follow the Prophet and never leave his Sunnah.

We are been ordered by Allah (SWT) in Quran to obey the Prophet (SAWA) and by the Prophet to pray as the Prophet did. This means any Wudhu or worship away from what the Prophet did is invalid. The Prophet never washed his feet in Wudhu but he was always wiping over his feet. Washing the feet in Wudhu was created by some persons long time after the Prophet (SAWA).

Changing dress does not break your Wudhu at all and there is no difference in this matter between man or woman. Even if someone takes our all his or her dress in a closed room or bathroom, his or her Wudhu remains valid.
