LOL Wolfy, you need to be in Portland, Oregon with that get up.

I am having second thoughts on if I should wear these or keep them as a collectable, Only knows Yoda.... Decisions decisions...

today I'm wearing mismatched halloween socks-- left teal with green heal/toes with black pumpkins all over and right: pink w/ orange heal/toes with black ghosts.

Im not wearing any socks currently. Later, I will be wearing a pair of teal and purple knee-high stripey socks. *bliss*

When I really liked a musical artist I would buy two concert shirts. One to wear and one to keep! You could do that!

See, This is why I need to be here, I need feed back and knowledge on how to buy, because I truly never would have thought about buying 2 pairs. Gotta luv ya Bro, I am now going sock hunting for another pair of these so I can finally wear them instead of pulling them out, holding them for what seems like eternity then putting them back in the drawer lol.... Genius I tell ya! Dapper is a Genius!

No cute socks for me today. Im wearing wool socks and hiking boots. Gonna spend the day playing in the woods! :-)

'Scuse me while i bundle up. It's freakin' cold here! :blink:

Hanes Classic White Ankle Sock Update
 

Now we know the real reason why CCB likes cute socks. :|


Okay, update on my crazy shopping spree from the other day, which did include socks.


My tennis shoes and flip flops left Hebron, KY and are currently in Atlanta, GA.

My nail clipper set (a bit of a splurge here) is in Union City, CA (wow seriously, they couldn't find any nail clippers closer than California)

Have my Hanes classic white ankle socks (and a few other items) shipped yet? Noooooooooo It's a good thing I have one pair already, just in case. (Says shipping now, but no what that really means is we haven't gotten around to finding your stuff yet. Someone is no doubt on a long cigarette break. Until it actually says Shipped it means nothing!)

Another barefoot day for me, although I am getting pretty low on food. If I do go out it will probably be tennis shoes with no socks.

(I love to track packages. Sometimes I want to order something just so I can track it).
(Oh and I also love parenthetical asides. Blame Dapper if you don't like them).



Wolfy got the penalty flag. :superfunny:

Today: this morning lounging around watching tv sipping hot tea socks were white w light houses and now I am wearing bright green socks w mustaches on them.

We will always be here for you in the sock thread. Fondling socks without wearing them seems to be a whole level of problem I've never dealt with. I hope you find a second pair!!!

1) I have fully admitted over the years that I have a sock FETISH. I believe knee high socks count as lingerie. You should try it sometime. (With a girl maybe, or on your own if that floats your boat.)

2) Wolfy SO got the penalty flag. I started this thread just in time. Hy KNOWS BETTER!!!! We may have caught the problem before it gets worse.

Today I am wearing white ankle socks that say in marron and pink "VOTE FOR PEDRO" with stars. (Napoleon Dynamite socks, for those who do not know the movie well.)

Someone once suggested (this summer) that I wear knee socks while mowing the lawn to prevent further mosquito bites on my legs and ankles. I am still traumatized.

Knee socks as lingerie (not on me)... yes!

Today I am wearing white ankle socks. I am wearing white socks because I am wearing (you guessed it), sneakers (actually they are short hiking boots, but whatever).

They are also TF's socks. They are her socks because we are down at the beach and I forgot to pack socks. I did have white socks on yesterday, that I could have reworn, but that creeps me out. HOWEVER, TF's had already been worn too.

You may wonder why I chose her socks over mine even though both had already been worn (and therefore it would be a "repeat" situation, for both pairs).

Let me run it down for you.

TF only wore her socks to sleep in, I had been wearing mine since 4pm. I put them on right after my shower. The amateurs in the group may believe this to be enough information as to which "repeat socks", one should chose and would reach right for TF's socks. That would be jumping the gun a bit.

You need to take into consideration what was going on with the feet themselves before they were slipped into said socks. After all, you are putting your foot inside the sock. As stated, I had just taken a shower at 4:00pm. TF, on the other hand, had showered in the morning. SO, she had ALL DAY to accumulate dirt on her feet, prior to putting on said pair of clean socks before bed.

I asked TF what socks/shoes she wore to work yesterday. My thought was, if she was wearing sandals her feet would be relatively dirty when she put the socks on to go to bed. I would then be putting my feet into socks that could arguably be dirtier than the inside of mine, even though her clean socks were put on 8 hours later than mine.

I found out that she wore nylons (or whatever they are called now), with the dress she wore yesterday. Being that her foot was encased in fabric all day and she is not a foot sweater, I determined that her white socks were most likely cleaner than mine inside, so I chose her socks.

It was a tough decision, glad I was able to get through it.

TF was glad, too.

The end.

I need them Socks! The Vote for Pedro with match my T-shirt and my shoes, so I need it! I will have to check my dryer, because today I could not find one sock, :readfineprint: it went missing, and I think the sock alien got it and is messing with my fetish... :mohawk: I am thinking that I have to make a APB and make sure my sock is returned as it is my who's your Daddi sock and Hellooooooooo I'm the Daddi! :vigil: Please ohhh please Sock monster alien stealla robbah, please return to me my sock :praying:

So now TF has no socks to sleep in tonight and neither of you have socks for tomorrow. :blink:

Cad. Bring your own socks next time.

This KILLED me. I just woke up. I am sitting on the bed reading this, TF was near the bed, and as I looked down to see her bare feet I said, "Did you wear socks to bed last night?". "No, you have my socks", she says as she shuffles away in her bare feet.

Did I also mention the trailer we are in has no heat? Space heaters!

It is warm under the covers with blankets on, socks are her preference, not a necessity. But, yes, I am a puz for not even thinking about it.

Kelt, true about the socks for today (but TF will have on sandals, it is only cold at night), I didn't think past yesterday. :|

My point exactly.

Looks like somebody needs to trot into town real quick and come back with a package of socks.

Time to step up.

:sock: :cheesy:

Today's socks....


http://www.sockittome.com/cart/image.../120/f0169.jpg

Sometimes you really scare me Dapper.

Just sayin'

I’ve eyed this thread warily for a while now. I love socks but there is a rather embarrassing issue that comes up whenever I talk about sock use. It’s rather uncomfortable and anyone who reads my posts can see how difficult it is for me to open up about just anything (tongue in cheek here). But before I share my secret shame I want to enjoy a little stress free conversation about my love of socks. I need to warm up and work my way into this.

I love colorful socks of every ilk. Like glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, I never met a color I didn’t like. I have socks with cartoon characters, superheros, animals, sports team logos, and designs of all types. I am not hampered by a need or desire to only wear socks of a certain length. I am also not restricted by a necessity for appropriate sock management for work. My socks are hidden under my pants and no one is the wiser. Of course there are times during a meeting when my slacks might ride up a tad and if one were to glance under the table at the right moment one might be privy to an explosion of color. But if my coworkers have ever noticed and been shocked at my shameless use of rainbow hued toe warmers they have kept it to themselves.

Colorful socks make me smile. I feel happy just looking at my socks. My feet would be so sad if they had to live in only black and white. Even when I’m wearing boots and I can’t see my socks that easily, I will push up my jeans a bit when I’m sitting so I can catch a glimpse of their colorful cuteness. Just a look never fails to bring me joy. There are only two times when I don’t wear socks bursting with color and character. One is when it’s really cold and I’m going to be trudging through snow and ice, then I wear the warmest heaviest socks I own and they usually have minimal color, maybe red and gray. The other is the source of my humiliation and embarrassment. I am a secret user of peds.

For years and years in the summer or when it was warm and I wanted to wear sneakers and no socks, I wore peds. I hate bare feet in shoes. I can’t stand it. Neither can I wrap my head around socks and shorts. I don’t care for that look. I try to stick with sandals and bare feet in the summer, but there are times when only a shoe or a sneaker will do. Then out come the peds. I have them in white, black, polka dot and of course there’s the plain nylon looking ones. Nobody sees them, my shame is well hidden beneath my shoes. But that has not stopped the bullying, the ridicule, the scorn I have endured at the hands of lovers and friends. Almost every person in my life has tried to stop me from wearing these tiny targets of tremendous revulsion. It’s unfathomable how much hatred the little guys can garner. There we times when current girlfriends and exes would come together, united by my misguided and offensive use of peds, and plot against this common enemy. Those diminutive disgusting excuses for socks had to go. The people in my life were not kidding. Friends, family, and partners alike were deeply disturbed by my penchant for this foolish footwear. When my wife and my best friend first met years ago, although it was winter with no peds in sight, the conversation ultimately turned toward my ped wearing and the taunting began.

Since moving to another country it has been difficult for those I left behind to hold this abomination in the forefront of their consciousness so I have of lately escaped any humiliating tirades. My wife is not thrilled with my use of the little horrors but she has made a sort of uneasy piece with them. However, every now and again her mortification surrounding this unfortunate and persistent folly comes around to bite me in the toes. I have been more careful since given another chance and I do not allow my new friends to get a whiff of my ped fetish.

I know what I’m doing is wrong and I should know better, but I can’t help myself. It’s the easy answer to my dilemma around what to do concerning the shorts and shoes debacle. And truthfully it is the only answer I can live with despite the ridicule, mockery and derision I’ve suffered at the hands of purposeful persistent peds detractors.

Since I’ve gone in the closet I haven’t talked about this problem in a couple of years. Stealth ped use has it advantages but we all know how secrets keep us sick.

I told TF if she ever left me I would never find a date on this website.

Ha!

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.

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!

:sock:

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

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.

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.

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. :sock:

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.

i wore brown and purple knee-high stripey socks to the zoo today. :)
