I suppose you could sew a L and an R into each one to distinguish left from right, or even just an X on one of them so you could tell them apart, then you'd know which one to swap to the other foot, but ain't nobody got time for that.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social -2 points 7 months ago

They're stretched into the shape of that foot.

But you'd have to repeatedly wear a sock on a specific foot for it to stretch in a foot specific manner in the first place.

Left foot gets white socks, right foot gets black socks, alternate every day, fuzzy Christmas socks on Sundays.

Most of my socks came in boxes of beer around Christmas :)

Mine even themselves out by fluffing up in the washer/dryer. Are you wearing them a second time before washing them? Or maybe if you hang them dry they don't get fluffed?

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

I really only wear them when I'm wearing shoes, so I take them off as soon as I get home. If I have to go out again, I put them back on.

[-] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 22 points 7 months ago

I just put them on randomly, no idea which foot they were on before.

I'm not sure I know the difference between left and right socks.

[-] dcoe@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

I wear them on both feet.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 21 points 7 months ago

No lol, wtf?

I just put them on. As long as they're heel side down.

[-] whaleross@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

I alternate which foot to step on when I walk.

[-] doubletwist@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Kind of. I don't specifically pay attention to or know which sock is which. I just have a drawer full of all the same sock. So I just pick a random two and throw them on my feet without paying attention.

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 3 points 7 months ago

So you hop around on one foot only?

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

DAE = yes, always

[-] criitz@reddthat.com 10 points 7 months ago

For once I think OP is alone on this one

[-] marshadow@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Only once they start to wear out under the big toe, otherwise I can't tell the difference.

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, today I wear a sock on my left foot, tomorrow it's my right foot.

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Do you have a limp?

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

No, but I'm duck-footed. Most they wear out around the big toe.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Wait, do you have one whole duck per foot? Or half?

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

I mean if my knees are pointed straight ahead, by feet angle outward at about a 20° angle. It affects my gait.
