Silly socks

Sparkly-Temporary Account

Before I continue, I am not referring to novelty socks, but to socks in general.

I cannot decide if my socks are silly, or if it's my left foot that is silly.

When I wear socks, which is pretty much most of the time, the sock that is on my left foot will always manage to end up moving around my foot. Depending on the socks I'm wearing, sometimes it's just by a centimetre or so, or it can be to the extent that the back of the sock has become the front. This happens even when I am motionless and lying on my sofa.

A similar thing happens if I wear lace-up footwear. When I put the footwear on, I will ensure the tongue is centred before I tie the laces. Within minutes, the tongue (left foot) starts to veer to the left.

Does anyone else share the same, or a similar issue?

    Having just inspected the soles of some sandals, you're probably right about that.

    Then you can bathe with your socks on and dry them of with your feet up on a radiator reading a book or watching TV.

    As great a solution as that might be, what would happen if I wanted to wear a different pair of socks?


    Today I have been wearing a pair of plain red chenille socks, but tomorrow I might want to wear a pair of patterned navy cotton socks. Would it be a matter of putting on a fresh pair of socks over the socks superglued to my feet, and then supergluing those socks to the ones underneath?


    In my mind, I am conjuring up an image of my left foot looking considerably (and ridiculously) larger than my right foot, due to layers and layers of different socks that have been superglued to it.

    As you can probably tell, I am devoting far too much time to thinking about how your suggestion would work for me. zany face

  • I had the same problem in childhood.  I put my socks on properly,  heel on heel, then an hour later the heel portion of the sock was on top.  A full 180 degree twist, both feet.  I can't remember when it stopped happening. 

  • It's probably the way you walk on that side, if you look at the wear patterns on the soles of your shoes you'll probably see one side is more worn that the other, you can conciously adjust the way you walk, or you could see a biometric podiatrist.

  • My socks do fall off my feet.

    Superglue might be a good solution.
