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.

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.

Yes, slipper socks have different rules as they are really 'house shoes' and should be treated accordingly.

BUT

They should never go outside, no matter how close the garbage is or how dry the ground is.

Never.

Nothing special in the looks department but they feel so nice. Here's a pic of today's socks.

OMG, me too! Exactly. Now, we're broken toe twins. Mine looked like a little eggplant, all swollen and purple and squished. I still have the pics cuz it's nice to be reminded how far I've come 'n stuff.

I broke mine on a metal bed railing.

The bruising went alllll the way up the front of my foot too, to be covered by cute socks of course.

<---seriously concerned about the socks issues I am reading but still thread compliant

Oh wow! love being broken toe twins with Gemme.

The same exact toe. Well not the same toe of course, I broke my toe and you broke your toe, but you know what i mean. What are the odds.

Well, one in ten actually.

Now why does that sound so familiar *grin*.

Back on track. I love socks.

When I post pics of my socks I want to post my boxers too. Usually they match in some way. I manage to restrain myself though. This is for socks.

Toe twins unite!

Everyone, please post your non-sock related posts HERE.

Thank you.

Dapper, you know I luv ya, BUT this country was founded on the belief that each person is free to wear or not wear socks as they please!

God forbid you would ever try to slide slipper sock-shod feet inside the bed.

I would truly faint.

For real.

Anya, I am sorry to report that I woke up in the middle of the night and realized I had never taken off my slipper socks.

I have a horrible cold and was doped up on cough syryp with codeine when I moved from couch to bedroom. Normally I feel as you do about this issue ... but I am coming to realize when you are sick NONE of the normal rules matter.

Today's slipper socks = electric blue fuzzy.

never wear no show socks while making love. you will lose them!
