AIBU to miss toe socks...

I was just looking for some black boots online and came across an Amazon listing for toe socks! It totally reignited the love I felt for them previously, how cosy and brightly coloured they can be.

So AIBU?

They made my toes colder. I think my toes thrive on each other for warmth Smile

I got some for Christmas. They're so uncomfortable. I have an alarming variety of colourful knee high socks. Today's are patchwork. The toes bit I can live without.

Yes you are bvu. I dont like those split toe shoes that make you look like you have ostrich feet either.

I had a pair of toe socks once. None of my shoes would fit. If you did go out wearing them and your wellies no one could see them anyway. Completely pointless fashion.

Sure I read an article saying mittens were warmer than gloves for exactly that reason so you're probably right about the toe socks.

Eughhhh no they used to freak me out. If I wiggled my toes the fabric would rub together and go right through me. I'm cringing at the thought of it.

Having something between your toes like that is all kinds of wrong.

Yabu. I broke my coccyx because of toe socks. I will never wear them again.

Bleurgh

But if you do buy them you are obligated to wear them with the sheep correction shoes over on style and beauty due to them being removable socks and they'd improve those

Yes, they were awful! I hated that they were wool instead of stretchy cotton, and if I pulled them up too far they pressed against the bits in between my toes and the feeling made me feel a bit sick Envy (vom face)

Wait, those aren't toe socks! Those are barefoot trainers?

Toe socks were the socks with separate bits for your toes, like gloves for your feet!

They are the toe socks I meant too. (The rainbow ones)

The thread derailed a bit when it was mentioned about those toe seperate-y trainers.

I used to love toe socks as a kid. Now they just just hurt my fat little piggies toes. YABU! Don't do it. It ruined the memory for me.
As for those shoes, I found myself horribly mesmerised by a lady wearing a pair recently, according to DH my disgust was visible. You could see her big toe moving out of sync with the rest. Eugh.

I am currently wearing toe socks. I love them! My family bought me and DH some for Christmas, I stole both pairs.

They were all the rage in school so I had some sexy rainbow ones and I think some pink and black ones but they were soooo uncomfortable. The threads used to get loose and feel all tight around my toes. I don't like things between my toes though, never been able to get into flip flops either. They're ugly as hell too! Those trainers are so gross as well.

Dh desperately wanted a pair after he felt that he missed out when he was a teenager because he was a boy so I bought him some for christmas. He loves them. Strange man. I did break a toe when wearing lovely rainbow toe socks when I was about 12 though so I went off them from then.
