You are making more laundry for yourself, and decreasing the lifespan of the sock due to all the washing, only for a couple of hours of enjoyment.

I can't believe you people.


ETA: "Slipper socks"? I have to look these things up. Perhaps there are different "wearing rules" for them.

Wow, Dapper has some serious OCD sock rules.

Being leisurely, I prefer white ankle socks - Hanes in warmer weather, Joe Boxer in cooler weather. I will share the Hanes but not the Joe Boxers.

I don't mind white ankles for dress up either. If Letterman can get away with it, so can I. But, if I get that "you are not wearing those" look, Hanes black ankle sports socks will do.

If I am going to be exposed to the elements in cold weather, blue nylon knee hi's over the ankle socks makes things toasty. It's about comfort, not fashion.

I did once own a pair of those socks with the separate holes for toes but my toes developed serious separation anxiety issues.

I am not fond of slipper socks cuz they have those no skid rubber things on the bottom. Being able to slide across the floor like Tom Cruise, is imperative.
