OK, fess up. Who else wears their sox inside out?
The ridge at the top of the toes of all the sox I buy drives me nuts! Years ago, sox were woven in a manner that did not make that-across the toe stitching. I can't stand it. Every brand I try is the same way. Anyone found a brand that has been manufactured without this method of stitching?
Even Gold Toe, a good brand is the same way. I know it must be cheaper to make but it sure makes life miserable.

Simple things make me happy. A good pair of cotton sox without the ridge would be great.

1. It depends on if they are inside out when I get to them.
Edited on Wed Mar-31-10 06:29 PM by Shell Beau
I just put them on. There is one pair though that I do prefer to wear inside out. They are all rough on the insides because of the design on the outside.

2. You must have STD*.
*Sensitive Toe Disorder
Happily I don't, so the toe seam has never been a problem for me.
And I only wear socks about 4 months out of the year.

5. I don't wear socks.
I wear flip flops year round. Unless it's snowing. Then I wear shoes with knee highs.

6. Yep, I do. Damn thing gets caught under my (very short) toenails!
Or either I can't help but compulsively scrape them across it; I haven't quite figured out which.

8. I bought seamless socks because the seams drove me nuts
Here is a website:

http://www.footsmart.com/P-Therasock-SmartKnit-Seamless-Socks-60347.aspx

I bought mine at a sports store in the mall and don't remember the brand. Any socks with seams I wear inside out.

9. I wear socks for me
with the seams away from my feet. Wearing with the seams turned in is inside out!

11. I think today is the day I will stop wearing socks till maybe October
I do notice the seams at times,but it causes me no great distress. I think everything now is made with easy cheap manufacturing in mind, not the consumer's comfort or happines.
