Ok hear me out.
I’ve never worn normal socks inside out because it’s so easy to get them into the correct orientation. But I have a whole bunch of toe socks now, and the easiest way to take them off is by peeling them off, which leaves them inside out at the end.
I’ve been righting them and washing them, but it adds quite an annoyance as for every n socks it adds n time.
So I am wondering can I just get away with wearing them inside out half the time?
Potential downsides I’ve already though of:
- It might look dumb
- It might wear out the fuzzy side faster than normal.
Let’s say those are both a price I’ll willing to pay. Is there anything else I haven’t thought of? Does anybody have personal experience or cultural knowledge in this regard?
Edit: this is all very good information. Thank you, I’ll try it out for a few days.
The outside would make less skin contact than the fuzzy inside. I imagine you’d have more stinky feet at the end of the day.
There will be a price. Don’t do this unless you want the fashion police to rappel in through your smashed windows and beat you while you choke on tear gas.
I wear my socks whichever way they are when I pick them up. Also wtf are toe socks. After reading it I thought you meant socks with holes but now I’m picturing a special type of sock that fits around each toe. That sounds like a nightmare.
I have neuropathy and so I wear special diabetic socks that are even more fuzzy on the inside than regular socks. It helps somewhat with the pain. I guess the extra stimulation of the fuzzy side kind of distracts the nerves that are telling me that I’m being stung by wasps.
