Hmm, what brand? Mine feel like they are meant for the feet, but after like a few weeks/months of walking I had holes in them. From Dilling as its the only Mulesing free brand here. So I only wear then in shoes and outdoors, when my foot want do be extra comfy
Darn Tough come with a lifetime warranty. If you get holes in them, you mail them back and they ship you a new pair. Just beware of counterfeits. I have 4 pair and will only wear them to work where I’m in boots and on my feet climbing ladders and shit for 12 hour shifts. My feet sweat a ton which used to cause red, itchy, gross feet. Now my feet are pretty normal. Is Darn Tough the only brand that works? Almost certainly not, but they also have that warranty that you seem to need. Each pair is like $20 because of that, but if you hike or work long hours on your feet, I think it’s a worthwhile investment.
I seldom wear socks during the day because I always wear sandals. But putting lotion or cream on the soles of my feet at night, with socks so I don’t slip and fall, is very good for moisturizing them. The socks also keep the moisturizer where it belongs, not on my sheets.
At my current non trades job, a few of us started working in flops and winter is weird. You get them wet then go outside and they just freeze to the ground.
This. While being annoyed by one of my grandmothers giving me bed sheets as a birthday present when I was around 10. I now totally understand and like it. Haven’t really bought much clothes since ever, cause my mother and sister are currently fullfilling my grandmother’s task for years now xD And it’s nice to use the money I would have spent on clothes to buy me more tech stuff I really want.
I get tired of it, because I don’t need socks every year. My stuff lasts. I end up with too many socks. It’s like buying me a new pair of shoes or something. Like uh no, those last me 3-5 years. Those are utilitarian purchases that are made less often
Like, bargain bin socks that are 8 pairs for $5, or novelty socks that are so thin you wear holes in them in two weeks? 100% agree. But a couple good pairs of quality socks are a game-changer, pair with a good pair of work boots and suddenly it’s not even that bad being on your feet all day.
