Socks have sizes ?

[Admin Moderator]

Did you post this idiocy to suck bandwith from FR?

[paulycy]

You can't even get regular socks any more.

They only sell the bottom half now.

Socks are series business.

Not sure on sizes, but Filson makes great socks.

The best socks EVER are SmartWool. MMmm. MMmm. MMmm.

I have 8 or 9 pair, and will never wear another now. Their new PhD model features what they call WOW technology - Wool on Wool. More wool now in areas where where there was nylon. The best, hands down. Not cheap, but they last for years and years.

Hand knit socks are the best. I make them to fit for my husband (size 12 EEEE width), son (size 13 narrow), and daughter (size 9.5 EE width). I use Regia stretch wool (very fine gauge) or a cotton/elastic yarn.

I also knit lots of socks for soldiers in the ME. Whew ... those are a project. 12"-13" of ribbed leg plus a BIG foot. But the group I knit with has knitters from all over the world and the group has sent over 4,000 hand knit pairs of socks to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I have no idea where to buy socks that fit, tho.

Thank you, I ordered 4 types from them and they seem
to be closer to my size, fit 8 1/2 to 9 1/2.

I am very interested in this.

Until you have had series of socks that don’t fit...you can’t begin to understand this affects you daily.

I finally found great socks...they are “InStride Foot Health Comfort Socks” at www.instrideshoes.com.
They are sooooo comfortable.

I sent some to Chieftain’s twin sons (Marines) when they were overseas last time. I joked with the boys in the letter I included in the “Care Package” that when I asked their Dad what young men might want, he said”Sex” and I misunderstood “Socks”...they got a kick out of that.

No, I asked for advice!
And several people gave great advice.

I want a new sock
One that won’t make me sick
One that won’t make me crash my car
Or make me feel three feet thick
I want a new sock
One that won’t hurt my head
One that won’t make my mouth too dry
Or make my eyes too red

One that won’t make me nervous
Wonderin’ what to do
One that makes me feel
Like I feel when I’m with you
When I’m alone with you

I want a new sock
One that won’t spill
One that don’t cost too much
Or come in a pill
I want a new sock
One that won’t go away
One that won’t keep me up all night
One that won’t make me sleep all day
One that won’t make me nervous
Wonderin’ what to do
One that makes me feel
Like I feel when I’m with you
I’m alone with you
I’m alone with you, baby
