Sock Talk with Dlew12

[Mrs. Gooch]

Why aren't there goEMAW socks available for purchase somewhere?

not sure they'd have your size

 

Man, bubbles had a pretty solid IRL MrsGoochClownFeet burn at the pak'r Saturday.

ETHICS QUESTION:

So the stores only sell 3 packs of dress socks with 3 different pairs of socks. I would rather have 6 identical socks so it's easier to find matching pairs when necessary. Is it ethical to switch out socks between 3 packs so I end up with a 3 pack of matching socks?

yup, don't let the man keep you down.

I only wear no shows if I'm wearing shorts or something. I usually wear dress socks, and I work out in crew cuts.

Your problem is that you shouldn't want 6 identical socks.  Get the 3-pack with slight variations and wear them as pairs so that you don't end up with six socks in various states of wear and tear.

  I was worried that I might be the problem.

We can't all be prolly the most ethical person on this board.

IDK, puni... Seems to me that in that situation, you will end up with one pair of unmatched socks after about a month, with the other 4 socks having disappeared

Just make sure you stress to the maid how important it is that she keep track of and pair up all the socks.

I've been sporting these 100% cotton Dan Post socks around with my boots and I need to get a verdict.  As you can see on the diagram, there is elastic in several places (arch, mid, and calf) in order so that they stay up throughout the day.  They've worked wonders in that deparment.  However, the elastic works so well that it's a little tight and when I take them off I can clearly see indentations in my skin from the sock ribbing.  Should I be concerned about circulation and, if so, do you have any recommendations on other boot socks that balance comfort and stay-up-ability?  Thanks and I'll listen off the air.

[DQ12]

maybe get a bigger pair of socks

I had a pig aggie sock for the Arkansas thread.

Also, I generally wear black mid-length Nike socks (>90% of the time). And with boat shoes or loafers I generally wear textured or patterned dress socks with jeans or slacks (<10%)

I wouldn't be concerned unless your legs are falling asleep or something.

Just finished the work day in my brand spankin new hanes socks and I feel all    Man who knew quality socks could make you feel so great?   Not this guy.

It is a great time of year for sock lovers.

[Mrs. Gooch]

Got some of these. They are great.

Do your giant feet get your shoes smelly or something?

[Mrs. Gooch]

They are to wear with heels or flats so that you can still wear socks but they don't show.
They are one size fits all, but are actually a little too big for my feet.

just a piece of advice, there's a girl i work with that wears these.  i can sometimes see her fake sock sticking out of her shoe and it's really weird to me.  why are you hiding your socks?  if you can't wear socks with your shoes then you need to address the shoe you're wearing, not come up with some pseudo-sock-socklet/not-sock thing. 

just be honest with us, with your feet, and with your shoes.  enough of the games, Mrs. Gooch.

mrs. gooch, those socks look great.

here's the deal about these socks, clams. i have some no-show socks i wear with sperrys. because if i don't wear any socks with sperrys my sperrys start to smell bad. obviously my feet don't smell bad. it's an issue with sperrys in general, i like to think.

[Mrs. Gooch]

Any time I try to wear shoes with no socks, Gooch yells at me about how gross that is.

[8manpick]

I get no show socks. I don't get no show socks that cover your calves. Does your lower leg get really cold without them or something?

[Mrs. Gooch]

Yes, this way you can wear socks in the winter under your pants leg with shoes that you don't want the socks to show with.
Also those normal no show socks that only go on your foot have a tendency to fall down around the heel of my foot.

Work on your calves to tighten their grip
