But when I do have to wear them (ugh, winter), the cushier the better. In fact, chenille socks are my favorite. Not only are they cozy, but they're great for sliding around on the hardwood floor with the kiddies. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-27844445157024026982010-10-11T18:47:27.011-05:002010-10-11T18:47:27.011-05:00Tube socks are an abomination!

These are socks with the heel and toe shapes knitted in. PM is right -- cotton/lycra blends do fit better now that socks are not manufactured in exact sizes. One place to purchase good fitting socks is National Retail Outlet in Lexington, NC. They sell Buster <br />Brown socks. knitted with sturdy yarns that don't wear out at the heel and/or toe after two or three wearings. Soft yarns don't wear well.PM's Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589041787489100928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-26391611694800505472010-10-11T16:30:56.615-05:002010-10-11T16:30:56.615-05:00I have sooo many socks and of course the sock fair...I have sooo many socks and of course the sock fairy has stolen half of them. But I was taught to never throw away anything that's still "good" so I keep hoping they will reappear (yeah right). And why is it that they are either way too loose (old ones) or too tight. Mostly tight and I have skinny legs - go figure.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-71193960831529439432010-10-11T15:35:39.054-05:002010-10-11T15:35:39.054-05:00Oh, Maven Linda.

Don't know why, I can just feel it more than bunching in other places.<br /><br />Did some laundry today found the socks came through with flying colors!!!

Then, when you're walking, having that much extra fabric means the socks can go rogue at any minute and start bunching inside your shoes, which means almost instant blister unless you stop, take off your shoe, and get the rogue sock repositioned.<br /><br />I like crew socks in the summer, but in the winter I wear a lot of boots so I want knee socks that will keep the boot shaft from rubbing back and forth on my calves. At Socks Galore, I bought some boot socks :-).

Yep, Sock Tub! One of those storage containers you put christmas decorations or keepsakes in. He had an overflowing tub full. He cleaned it out. I swear he's being taken over by aliens.<br /><br />Anyway... SP, Drama Queen is going to be right there with you. Her feet are going to be bigger, but narrow. Of course, so were mine until I had her, then my bones spread. It was weird.<br /><br />Sherry, we are always losing socks! It drives me crazy. I mean, where could they possibly go? <br /><br />Now we know--Socks Galore becomes another must stop when we go to the mountains! Next time, I want to try out some of those socks from the section they had called "Softest Socks in the World".<br /><br />AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-58292234136000328052010-10-11T10:01:19.284-05:002010-10-11T10:01:19.284-05:00We have sock issues at our house too.

I shoulda bought more socks at the outlet. I went looking for a pair of white socks over the weekend and realized I only had 3 pairs including the ones I bought at the outlet. ::sigh::<br /><br />I have dark socks to wear with dress pants. My shoe options are so limited now because of my foot problems. I can only wear sandals, tennis shoes and the boxy black ugly shoes I bought because they were comfortable and wide and don't make my un-operated-on foot hurt. I'm in shoe withdrawal.

I've always just worn what I could get, but inevitably, I get holes in the toe or the heels get threadbare from me tugging them up. They always slip down into my shoe and make me crazy.<br /><br />But there, in the sock mecca, was a section called Queen Sized socks. Sadly, even with skinny feet, I wear queen sized socks. :( Anyway, they're for women with shoes size 10-13! I've worn them the last few days and I love them. They do feel a little weird, though, because they're a touch big. Me, with big socks! Crazy.<br /><br />And Cheryl - I'm a professional closet organizer. If you need someone to help you part with the stuff you don't need and have a beautiful, organized closet, I'm your girl. :)Andrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-45327891986006056002010-10-11T05:58:48.484-05:002010-10-11T05:58:48.484-05:00I like cotton socks to work in and wear with tenni...I like cotton socks to work in and wear with tennis shoes.
