SOCKS: Left and Right?

This question is confusing.

(mostly because wtf, socks don't have designated feet, what are you talking about)

I only ever wear these:

Male, and recognize that some socks are made with designated (L and R) feet and some are not.

Leeeeeee's question was specifically about socks that DON'T have designated feet, tbf.

Logos (if they're there) face out; that's often the only indicator.

Seems like this could be worked out p quick you ask the socks what they identify as

To clarify: if you've worn a pair long enough in a sufficiently consistent way, the socks start to mold themselves into left/right shapes. The question is DO YOU CARE about this shaping.

I am starting to suspect DJP that you are a gender traitor, FYI.

I am starting to suspect that other members of my gender are crazier than I previously thought them to be.

socks are socks, also people make a big deal about wearing socks that don't match, who cares?

My daughter, when she was 3, after putting on a shoe would often ask me if she put it on the correct foot. Once, she asked me if she put her sock on the correct foot and I had to explain that there is no left or right for socks. I wonder if some people just never had this conversation with a parent when they were 3.

I mean it's obvious... socks don't bend one way or the other

What are we talking about?

we are talking about pure insanity

i have some socks with an embroidered logo on the outside and i put them on so the embroidered logo faces out, so the people can see my taste in socks. i always wear pants and it's covered up, but the inside of my pants knows what's up.

Savages, all of you.

Now I'm worried that I've been putting my socks on backwards this whole time. What if I'm hit by a truck while crossing the street and my shoes fly off and the horrified crowd that gathers notices this shameful sock flip-flop?

yr disgusting savagery revealed at last

Let us talk about the real issue here - socks with chiral patterns that don't have a left and right.

Specific running socks can have designated feet

Otherwise socks are socks

I'm me btw

male

we suspected as much

Nb I was marketing executive over socks for a week once at an import/export company so that's not just yknow my opinion maaan

When I take socks out of the drawer in the morning, I don't think of them as left or right; they're just socks. However, if I take my socks off and then have to put them back on later the same day, I make sure to put them on the feet they were originally on. (I do this by placing each sock in its corresponding shoe while they're off my feet.)

It ought be said that the first sock in my hand goes on the left foot obv

I may be the only one here who abides by sock orientation, but that only makes me a visionary.

One day the darkness will lift from your eyes and see that a left sock is a left sock.

Assume I wrote that with proper grammar.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

To know the sock implies you have something akin to a butt groove but for feet which means you have been wearing said socks for too long and ew.

socks, that's where i'm a viking

a butt groove but for feet

I must record an EP of music just so I can give it this title

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

unlike leee

Why is ilx so heavily male?

i look at my socks carefully to see which one is more right and which more left (usually a tiny, maybe imperceptible, maybe unreal deviation at the big toe), and i'm devastated to see how much of an outsider this makes me

ILX needs its unicorns.

First socks, then shoes

Why is ilx so heavily male?

Where do I start.

everyone is androgynous on a messageboard

this result is hilarious

>:(

some people woudl also say socks have a top and bottum

well wait, socks DO have a top and bottom

not really

most socks have heels sown into them, which means by definition they have a top and bottom; otherwise you have a flap of extra sock puffing out somewhere around your ankle

that puff is to maintain air integrity on the dorsum mangamosum of the foot , for endurance athletes

I wonder if that also works with prophylactics
