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
