    Socks can only be worn for one day, if even that long. To wear them more than that is completely unacceptable. For those that do, you disgust me.

    Listen to me. Take off your socks immediately, and burn them. No wash will ever help those. I also recommend cutting off your feet with a rusty hacksaw. You are so wrong.

    Shoe/thong or shoe/flip flop? they changed the meaning of that word on me a few years ago.

    or thong/undies? I wear flops 325 days out of the year, but do wear dressier shoes to work. I wear out those thin dress socks in a few months. That's not to say my big toe doesnt stick out of a few pairs though 8-) Short socks last me forever

    Socks have expiry dates, turn them inside out and you can see it stitched on.

    Nike no-show booties are decent.

    UnderArmour no-shows suck. Loose the elasticity at the cuff rather quickly.

    Champion cotton booties are decent work socks, but only last a few months.

    Wool is the way to go. REI makes a good foot cover.

    I couldn't tell you how long they last on the shelf but I have some input on how long they last when worn. Normally 1-2 years depending on how often you wear them. I lean towards sooner rather than latter because new socks are my heaven on earth. Once there is a hole you are past the expiration date.

    Snap-On socks are amazing I have bad feet(bunions & in-grown nails. And these socks are amazing and they last a long time a year or better. That are expensive but worth every penny. imo

    Snap-On.. Socks? What's the difference compared to an everyday sock? :think:

    EDIT: Actually, they sound like they could be painful.. Are they the kind of sock that sort of latches (SNAP!) onto your feet and then don't let go? :shock:

    are you talking about the 'brand name' Snap-On?
    these?

    because I agree...socks that literally snap on sound uncomfortable :?

    Yes Snap-On brand socks is what I was referring to. Guess I should have been more specific.

    well...had to break down and purchase new socks this evening. last one's lasted a solid 8 or 9 months. i wonder if i am wearing them wrong? anyone have any tips?

    went with "premium" cotton this time. i figure that might buy me an extra few months?
