My boring sock saga.
I am sick of socks having only two or three wears before they get a hole. They are not too cheap, 10-15 a pair. My nails are good, I do do walking, so maybe socks are made for a more sedentary lifestyle. I can't wear tradie socks as they are too thick to fit in my shoes and I have wide feet. I have tried many brands and stores.
I bought some snoopy socks from typo/cotton on today, let's see how they hold up.
What are your faves? Looking for some recommendations here.
Hmm, I have spent obnoxious amounts on socks and really haven't found ones that are all that... I think an old pair of snowboarding socks were my favourite for the functional aspect, but I hate the pilling if you wear them to bed.
Surprisingly, my boring Kmart socks have lasted a long time. I have quite a few pairs which might explain why it takes ages for a hole to appear.
