What Color Socks Are You Wearing Today?

[inkstainedruth]

Today it was actually "low cut" socks (basically footlets, with no leg section -- just LOOKED as if I wasn't wearing socks ). White with grey toes and heels. Highs today were in the mid 70s F, so I didn't need wool socks; but actually more comfortable (and better for your shoes) than going without socks entirely, unless I'm wearing flip flops or sandals).

I know those socks. I bought a few when I visited the US a few years ago. Thickish cotton ?

I use them for walks with sneakers and with golf shoes. Very comfortable, I must say.

Just stinkin' feet.

 

 

What? Surely you have an ultrasonic to remedy that...?

Ruth, I'd have bet the ranch that you wore only plum colored socks!

Yeah, I wear mine with sneakers in the summer. I have several different brands, some better and thicker than others. The grey toe and heel ones were made by Hanes. I didn't know they made them in mens sizes.

ETA: I started buying them when I could no longer find cotton blend slouch socks anyplace. Unless I'm camping, I don't want to wear wool socks in the summertime, and most n0n-wool socks these days are cheap nylon ones that don't fit my legs right.

@ crescentfiller -- I don't think I have any socks that color. Just pens. The only way I'd get socks that color is if I knit my own.... And that would presume I could find yarn I liked (and most of those I have knitted have been wool or wool blend.... I do have one pair of linen-blend hand knit socks that are a dark lavender color. I think that's the closest I've got to "plum".

Black. Like most of my socks are black. Today it's warm house socks with anti-slip dots underneath.

Darn Tough Vermont made Steely Boot sock in dark blue. Lifetime warranty. I have six pair so I'll never buy socks again. 

[PithyProlix]

Nuage Gris with a, uhm, pinkish-red sheen.  A discussion with the launderer is forthcoming.

Socks! Don’t wear socks. 
Actually not true .I have three pair all over ten years old.

Black for funerals or going down South in Winter ( rarely)

Fawn for going down South in Winter

RM Williams fine merino wool for those rare chilly nights.

What color socks are you wearing today?

 

Depends on which foot you want to know about.

 

I haven't inked a Parker in a long time.

I like to keep things simple.  Ink is Pelikan blue, socks are black.  Once I figured out that people didn't really notice what color socks you had on and that black goes with everything,  I quit buying different colors. 

 

...and yes, I always wear shoes and socks.  You don't want to go into my shop in bare feet.

Well, I think a toe sample is in order......and do they have flex?

[Misfit]

Black with red trim at the top, and Snoopy holding a Christmas tree. 

[pajaro]

Solid red.

[inkstainedruth]

Dark green.  But I'm very a grey blue shirt, a brighter blue sweater, and dark wash jeans

-- so I'm wearing sneakers so the socks don't show as much.

Black socks with metallic thread poinsettias.
