Socks.

Why isn't there a thread devoted to socks on this site?
I know it is a bit gender specific this, but men are said to have three obsessions, sex, socks, and shaving (can apply to women too) so where is it?
I will start by saying my socks are made of bamboo.

    Why does one of a pair still go missing during lockdown when you aren’t going out? Not hers only mine....I think I now have proof of the existence of the sock gnome. I’m writing to Kate Humble....

    I hate wearing socks.

    we've got a whole carrier bag full of odd socks at home, literally no one has barely been out the house for 9 weeks and still socks go missing between the washing basket and the machine

    I thought I was weird as I can’t stand wearing socks (unless I’m wearing shoes), been like that for 67 years, directly shoes come off so do the socks. Winds the wife up beautifully

    My brother wears his socks inside out as a matter of policy. He says the toe seam is uncomfortable.

    Seconded. Socks are for wearing with shoes, although I’ve found a couple of pairs of shoes I can wear sockless.

    All this clement weather and working from home, the sock drawer ain't been opened for months.
    Apparently there's smart way to knock up a face mask from a single sock with just a couple of scissor cuts

    Well, a revallation happened to me a few months ago.

    I've been suffering from achilles tendinopathy for the best part of two years.  I've had ultrasound, a double-dose of cortizone injections, massage, physio, you name it I've bloody tried it.  My ankles used to swell so much no matter what socks I wore, I used to have the elastic mark around the bottom of my calves for 3hrs after taking them off.

    I always had a thing for pulling my socks up as a kid, it  was almost an OCD thing.  Anyway, I could never wear loose socks.

    My wife suggested a try diabetic socks.  Made of bamboo (like WTF?), they are loose but somehow they stay up.  They have no seams at all. Anti-bacterial, no odour at all no matter how long you've had them on and they are  so comfortable.  After wearing them for a couple of months, my achilles tendinopathy has finally gone.  TFFT.  Life changing socks.

    After wearing your bamboo socks for 3 months I’m sure they will cure everything 😉

    I need to find some with more looser elastic at the top. All mine leave marks where they dig into my ankles.

    Could always do what your Dad does and cut them vertically at the top so they don’t then dig in but then again he’s paranoid about it due to the cellulitis he had.

    I am just a lost sock in the washing machine of life.
