Socks - Page 7

Cadaverous Pallor · 04-21-2006, 11:24 AM

I'm a sock voyeur. I can't allow myself to spend more for cute socks because, like someone said above, usually no one sees them.

An old friend of mine loved buying silly patterned socks and mixing them up. It was common to catch her wearing one Halloween sock and one Xmas sock - in February. I thought that was cute and funny but again, I'm too cheap for such silliness.

I just bought another set of black work socks from Kohls (on sale of course) and they're really comfy. I also dislike many kinds of dressy socks because they use slippery fabric that doesn't breathe (polyester? idunno) that makes for an unstable shoe. This is especially annoying with a heel. These Kohls ones are a nice blend. Can't remember the brand.

White basic cheap-o socks for sneakers. I dig the super short socks these days.

Thank God GD doesn't wear the socks and sandals any more. That was pretty bad.

I will only wear Hanes for her, plus size socks. They make them in regular, above the ankle length, ankle length and below the ankle. I love them because they fit me without cutting off my toes. With my foot size the plus size socks give me the extra room my toes require. The bad thing is I can only buy them online.

I try to avoid wearing socks if at all possible. I've had good luck with the socks from Costco and Old Navy. Cheap and they work.

Nylons should be banned from planet earth - luckily at my current job they're not a requirement like they were at my previous employer.

About 1/2 way down the page are the Hanes. They list both sizes, the standard 5-9 and then the comfy 8-12.

This thread really socks.

It reminds me that I have a strong socks drive.

I found funky peds at Target yesterday! Now I can have argyle socks that I can wear with capris.
