Working on my feet all the time made me think I should invest in some new shoes and socks. I splurged and picked up some Nike Dri-Fit socks and OH MY GOD are they comfortable. I have a couple of shirts made from the material because it's really soft and the socks did not disappoint.

Socks aren't something I've ever cared too much about but when they're good, wow. They're good. Highly recommend! grin

I'm a sock aficionado. I love socks...but only for a short time.

I wont wear socks twice if I can help it. Disgusting and icky.

Luckily, they are cheap overall, and it's easy to buy enough of them to cover your feet for a month without looking too strange.

Some of the current crop of "sports socks" are amazing.....and I feel almost guilty for throwing them away after one wearing.

Almost.

FYC has money.

All I have is plausible denial for my neurosis.

And a sock collection that would make RG3 weep.

The only guys who buy tube socks anymore only buy them for...er...extra-curricular activities, I'm sure.

Ankle socks suck. I challenge you to give me 5 reasons why they're the better way of wearing socks.

anyone who wears boots of any kind for any length of time wears tube socks...if you don't, you get the skin rubbed off the back of your feet and your calves.

and lol @ throwing socks away after one use...spoiled much?

Generations of my ancestors worked and struggled their entire lives....to enable me to throw away socks after I wear them once.

I'm not going to diss their sacrifice and discount their efforts by feeling bad about being the beneficiary of all that work.

I hope, some day in the future, my great, great, great grandkids are filthy rich assholes.....and they sit around waxing poetic about the fact that they only drive a car once....then throw it away.

I'll be long dead and forgotten, but a little piece of me will still be going on.

They're just jealous that you get a double sock count when you buy them for a low price.

Ignore the haters.

I don't see how donating a once-used sock would be any different than a shirt...that's what they make washing machines for...to wash stuff.

Exactly. Now if it was a well-worn, holey old thing then i can see that being gross, but a sock that has been worn once and washed? No problem with that at all.
