I have a real thing for socks that tell you which one is for your left foot and which one is for your right.
I remember when I was a kid, asking my Mum how you could tell which was your left sock and which was your right. I mean, you have left shoes and right shoes, so you must have left socks and right socks, right? Despite Mum’s best efforts, I could not get my head around the fact that socks were all made equal and were quite interchangeable. It just didn’t make sense!
So, just imagine my pure, unadulterated, and child-like delight when sports companies started bringing out ‘technical’ socks that were labelled with little L’s and R’s!! It’s what I’d always wanted! Socks! Designed for left feet and right feet individually! Not generic foot tubes that jumped onto whichever foot happened to be handy at the time! Huzzah!
