How many miles do you get from your socks? (Read 1011 times)

I throw socks out only when they get too big a hole in them.

Ditto

Funny, I was thinking about this as I was getting dressed early this morning to go run. I mean, running socks are expensive. I am careful to put them in the laundry basket as a pair, yet I have 3 socks with no mates. That's like $45 worth of socks that i can't use. Where did the mates go?

Mex-sock-o for a quickie divorce. Probably Ti-hose-juana.

This is why I always buy MINIMUM of 6 pairs at a time, preferably of exactly the same type, color and style as the last batch I bought. I'll admit, after spending $$$$$ trying all the fancy expensive running socks, I found that the costco champion socks work perfectly - no blisters even in a rainy marathon and for 6 pairs for $9, who gives a crap how long they last. I poke holes in my socks frequently, I was going through a pair every longrun when I first started running.

I'd buy that. currently I have a pile of about 40 socks without partners...I am starting a dating service. Maybe these socks were hetero and just couldnt take it anymore.

I'm freaking stoked.

who knows but what i wanna know is how come i always end up with single sox in my drawer. Where have they gone? Is there a sock heaven?

Most of them, though, eventually go into the laundry and never come back. We don't ask questions about those ones, just assume they went to a better place.

Try to focus on the positive. It's good to mix up running with some strengthening exercises such as hopping on one foot. Wear the sock on alternate days.
