Why don’t socks come in “left” and “right?” Why are socks ambidextrous? It’s not like your feet are identical: you have left and right shoes. So why not socks?
Seems to me if socks were made to fit a particular foot, they would last a lot longer than they do. All that stretching to accomodate feet causes holes and wears them out.
Why don’t sock manufacturers do this? Who knows? Might be that the powerful Sock Lobby is happy with socks that quickly wear out. Keeps you buying more, you know? Still, if they would manufacture left and right socks, they could mark them up, so their profits could be higher.
It’s time for a change of socks. Support the Open Socks Foundation and insist on only free socks. And particularly, left and right ones, too.
You really need another job…. 🙂
I agree with you about wearing left and right socks, it is possible to track them down in Harrods or John Lewis. They are made by a company called “Falke”.
Socks used to come in left-and-right pairs, with the imprinted maker’s label and size worn on the right foot, inside the arch.
