    They are even better, cheaper, and they are lifetime guaranteed!
    Pffft!

    You all with your tough-talkin' socks and smart feet.  Wake me up when "Really Fucking Durable" hits the market.

    I’ll have to see if I can even get those. I’ve never seen them. 

    My feet need to be smart, though, darn it.

    If I wore flip flops all the time I would feel like I was in a perpetual state of preparing to take a shower at a swimming pool or camp ground.  :lol:

    Now regarding socks, the downfall of America followed closely on the heals of the demise of the racing stripe socks.  I used to wear them back in middle school in the early to mid sixties.  These were white socks with two bands of racing stripes across the top of the metatarsals.  You couldn't see the stripes when wearing sneakers, but that was the point.  Subtlety.  No one knew you were cool, but you knew you were cool. 

    Now days, if you mention striped sock, you think of this, right?:

    See what I mean?  No subtlety whatsoever.  The downfall of America!

    Make America Great again:  Bring back the hidden racing stripes socks!

    What were the red translucent skateboard wheels that were all the rage back in the day? And the trucks? I had size 2 in the front and 4s in the back on a wood skateboard my brother made in wood shop. And skippies on my feet with “striped” socks.

    They are even better, cheaper, and they are lifetime guaranteed!

    Are you allergic or just sensitive?  If it's just sensitivity, have you tried Merino wool blends?  It's nothing like the stiff scratchy wool of yesteryear.

    Not sure why wool drives me itchy but it hardly ever gets cold enough to need wool here anymore so I'll probably not need it.  Maybe for hiking socks though.  Might have to check that out, thanks.
