Holes in your socks

JupiterKid · 08-07-2019 06:31PM #1

Do you have holes in your socks? If so, do you get these easily or after years of wear and tear?

I have just discovered holes in a pair of socks that I really love. I’m crushed.

I can’t seem to have a pair of nice socks without getting holes in them after a few months. It’s a royal pain in every orifice. I’m constantly having to buy new socks and I can’t be arsed darning up the holes (does anyone even do that any more?).

Any tales of sock holes among you AHers? Just why do some people wear out socks so easily? Is it the shape of their feet, their toes or are socks just crap in terms of quality these days?

Any suggestions? Possible solutions??

Of course my socks have holes, it’s how I get my feet into them!

Cut your toenails.

Overgrown hooves are both unsightly and lethal for socks

Thanks but I keep my toenails trimmed and tidy so it’s not that.

Buy bigger size socks?

I never get holes in my socks

I find it all depends on what brand of socks you buy. I bought socks in Kildare Village about 2 years ago and they are still as good as the day I bought them. Each pair is worn once every 12 days.

I buy special reinforced socks

I have bamboo socks that appear not to get holed

My butler monitors wear and tear of socks and ensures even wear by systematic circulation of them.

None in mine

Like a team of finely tuned professional footballers, I rotate my socks on a regular basis to maximise potential and limit wear.

Too much effort and too cheap to replace!

I have several "Knock" socks.

They're very holey

Jesus would approve. Heel be very happy.

If you want to bare your soul - wear a holy sock !

My wife complains when I wear socks during sex. Suppose she’s right, a condom would be better ... titter

Yeah, the metal ones are probably best, hard enough to hole......:rolleyes:

Darn it. What would you do if your bicycle or car had a puncture? You'd mend it.

This is why God invented mothers.

To mend your punctures while you darn your socks.

Are you one of those people, like myself, who has favourite things of the most mundane nature? Favourite mug, favourite spoon, favourite cereal bowl, favourite T-shirt, favourite socks.

Is that normal?

Learn to sew or get someone to sew the holes for you. A tailor shop would do it too if you really want to keep the socks.

Beasty · 08-07-2019 07:22PM

The dogs love my socks. I have to give them the matching one when they chew a hole in one. Saves breaking in a new pair

Better still, learn to knit. When it was colder lately I could not find two socks so I knitted a new pair,..

Oh and darning is a specialist skill

There's a lot to be said for a good sock rotation system.

I walk a lot during work... changing pairs of socks each day, a pair would last me a month before the heel wears thin and breaks into a hole trying to put them on.

I keep sock businesses afloat!!
