Voilà!

You're welcome.

Wow, That's cool. Thanks!

MissTick,

I get it. I very much dislike the look of shorts with sneakers (on adult masculine individuals). I also cannot stand the feeling of no socks in a shoe/especially a sneaker.

The white sock height issue I mentioned struggling with is where this comes in. I have to balance what I think looks good on me (with shorts), plus, with what is trendy (not trendy = crew style pushed down..but on me, I think they look good. *sigh*). It can be rough sometimes. A nice pair of short hiking boots can improve the situation, or like you, I wear sandals (very BUTCH ones, of course! ha!). I think I said in an earlier thread, I tend to only wear sneakers when working out. I do find them more acceptable on me wear with jeans, but rarely.

So, I have to tell you, I learned that with those sketcher sneaker type shoes people don't wear socks with them. I do think they look better that way, but me, having the same problem as you, what do I do?

WELL, I found that they make cotton socks that are not peds, but are hidden right under the shoe line. Regular thickness and everything. I found them at some show outlet store.

Check it out!

P.S. Peds are for sissies.

Well thank you. Although I can’t imagine any scenario where these would ever be useful for me. However it is the thought that counts. And it’s important that ped use of any variety be encouraged. Toward that end, here is another kind of ped that I would never ever in a million years need but might come in handy for others.

Well I'll be..... I have only seen these in toes only version, without the elastic. There really are socks for every and all occasion. Never will I wear these but I am now aware of their existence. I learned something new today

My sock rules are few but unyielding.

1. No repeating socks. Ever.
2. No shaking socks when taking them off. I have no wish to ingest your sweat encrusted foot skin particles once you have dispersed them into the atmosphere. Disgusting!
3. It is impossible to wash socks too often. It is ok to wear them for an hour, or less, then put the in the wash basket.
4. No wearing socks with holes in them. I do not care how at attached you are to said socks. Bin them.
5. No sock sharing. If you forget your own I will let you choose any pair from my extensive collection. They are yours now and I do not need them back. Ever.

Are they really hidden under the shoe line? Maybe it's me, but i can always see them sticking up a tad. Or they slip below the shoe and then they slide around and annoy me. I might be using the wrong ones.

Peds aren't even for sissies apparently. Nobody likes them. I can't imagine why they still sell them. I've never found anyone who wears them.

No, no tags. I will look in my "white sock drawer", and let you know the name. It is just some no name brand.

no, no tags. nothing about tags. Sticking up a tad, as in they are visual outside of the shoe by a small amount. Not really completely hidden under the shoe line. At least the ones i have tried.

The only thing I don't see sticking out of the shoe, at least to some small degree, are peds.

But many people have tried to show me the error of my ped ways by explaining that there are other options that work just as well. I just haven't been able to find any. Maybe I will someday, but up until now there is always a little bit of sock showing. Perhaps this is a fair trade off to most people. Way worth it not to wear peds or not to wear shoes without socks. I just can't choose the sock sticking out a tad alternative when I can just wear peds. I'm a non-repentant ped user. I don't want to commit such a fashion faux pas but rather than use anything else I would prefer it if peds just became more socially acceptable. Rather than change myself I would like the world to change instead. Ask me how that has worked for me so far.

Considering that they still make Peds, there must be a lot of people that buy and wear them.

Today, you proudly (maybe proud is a strong word) came out of the closet for all the Ped-wearers in Canada and the USA.

Hold your head up high and march forth, with your Ped-shod feet; knowing that you have spoken up for many of your Ped-friends!

Butches and their socks... I never knew before what a mess we were.

[easygoingfemme]

It's a steady rotation of Halloween socks for me until Friday this week. I won't be ready to give them up right on Halloween, so I'll hang on for one more day.

[Cin]

Makes sense to me. I wear my xmas socks and boxers right through February. Along with my winter themed socks and boxers which can sometimes cross boundaries with xmas.

I broke my toe today which is probably why all of a sudden I am hyper aware of feet, socks and toes.

Oh, I knew. I knew y'alls was frigged up and would come into this thread in droves with your elaborate sock stories. Have we realized yet that as far as the volume posted Butches with sock issues have posted more than everyone with cute socks put together?

I suggest you, Dapper, and Miss Tick start up a support group. Because, like others--I am truly fucking concerned at this point. I don't even have time right now I address the depth of your issues right now. Especially Tick. Wow. I am not a sock counselor, I only play one on TV.

And ahk: I expected better from you than flip flop socks. That is just freaky.

There is an up side, though, because when I checked into this thread I could NOT stop laughing. Thank you for the amusement from the bottom of m heart.

Right now I am wearing stolen wool socks because it's fucking FREEZING. Earlier I worse shoes with no socks (not even PEDS) because I was wearing a dress.

LOL. Yep that's me. The reluctant Ped Activist.

Ped wearers unite. Together we can stand invisible in our shoes, but visible in our commitment toward a cleaner albeit faux bare foot look for our sneakers.
