are my Pete Buttigieg socks, followed by my Kamala Harris socks. Third place goes to my Joe Biden socks.

Say, shouldn't this thread be in the Primaries group?

Not a fan of underwear either, come to think of it.

Or pants, for that matter.

Socks, underwear, and pants all suck.


I live in long skirts and flipflops. Years ago a doc suggested going commando because I have a mild latex allergy and the elastic was driving me crazy. Best advice I ever got!

It was $18 for the six pack!!!!

You know, as I was writing that first post, I got to thinking about how great that deal was. It was so great, in fact, that I was about to order some more!

Socks that originally went for $12 a pair marked down to $1 a pair!

Trouble is that I already have too many bike socks, and they feel strange if you try to wear them with regular shoes.

Remember those "WTF?" socks I posted the other day? Those are bike socks. I'd better not wear them to work...

The Basic Edition cotton crew socks. They don't have any colored toe line (I know where my toes go in socks) with no silly insignia's or words on them.

Don't get me started on underwear, finding what I like is becoming a dilemma as well.




Edit: I guess I shouldn't complain about not finding what I like to wear as some people don't have socks or underwear at all. Which reminds me, when I get some extra money I need to donate socks to my local women's shelter.

No seams inside the toes
Reinforcement under the arch
Heels do not sag no matter how long you wear them.
No pilling and little knots that irritate your foot
Soft wonderful cotton

and the donation match!!!

knee high or thigh high. Those branded by Ducks Unlimited are fave. Great fit and they stay up without cutting off the circulation. Otherwise, whatever can keep me warm in the waders.

No matching. Just one drawer of the same exact socks. Toss out any that get holes.

I barefoot a LOT, but if I were forced to choose, it'd be synthetic work socks for my biker boots!
