<p>It’s getting toward winter here in the upper Midwest and we women have put away our sandals. Yesterday I went to the men’s department at Nordstrom and bought $85 worth of knee-length socks in tan, navy, brown and black, for wearing under slacks. I confided to the sales clerk that I was giving up on women’s socks, that I was “crossing over” to men’s. He told me I wasn’t the first woman to do that. Then I went home and tossed out all my shoddily made, holey, stretched out, misshapen women’s socks. I look forward to years of functionality with my new footwear!</p>
<p>I always wear my H socks, he just has to get over it</p>
<p>I refuse to wear my husband’s…I have much healthier foot hygiene, imho, and the thought of sock-sharing kinda freaks me out in a OCDish sort of way. 
But I do buy men’s socks…especially gold toe athletic socks. My feet are always cold and they are nice and thick…and hard to wear out.</p>
<p>Gold Toe black socks are my favorite. And hubby wonders why there are no black socks in his top drawer. :)</p>
<p>Hubby’s socks are way too big for me … he wears a 13-14 shoe and I wear a 6 1/2 or 7. I have noticed, though, that the quality of his socks appear to be better than mine, so I bought a boy’s athletic socks to wear for my daily walks. They are much thicker and nicer than the ones I had.</p>
<p>I wear an 8 1/2 shoe so I bought the normal-sized men’s socks. But the guy at Nordstroms did tell me that they have a smaller size.</p>
