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.

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.

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.

You're welcome.

Or you can use a laundry mesh bag and toss all sock in and wash and dry -- this is what I do. I have 1 for black socks (workout socks) and another for my socks and one more for my wife. She's not to picky-- but they are socks.

(for those who like pictures)

Today: I'm wearing flip/flop socks-- they have a big toe slot and then 4 toes slot.

(very similar -- mismatched but darker colours /and for men)

These are them. You can probably find them anywhere. I just grabbed them because I was desperate. Cheap, so maybe worth the try.

Doesn't this break the socks-with-sandals code?

If so, why do they make them?

Because manufacturers don't care about the code, they just want you to buy their socks!

THANK YOU for this. I had no idea this existed. I just ordered them (in plain black) for my guy who loves to drive me crazy by shoving his socked feet into his flip flops and threatening to go public like that. Mind you, even with these socks, he's not going public with me while wearing ANY sock and flip flop, but it will make a great gag gift.

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.
