There's no logical or logistical way for a non-tube (i.e., heeled) sock to fit more than one size of foot. The fact that sock packaging suggests otherwise really irks me. When you purchase a package of Hanes ankle socks, for example, it'll say that the socks fit feet with shoe sizes 6-12. Ummm, hello, there's a huge difference between a men's size 6 foot and a men's size 12. I have a smallish size foot (size 8), and the stupid socks won't fit me properly. Inevitably, the heel of the sock ends up resting too high up on the back of my foot, not on the heel of my foot where it should be:
What's the big deal, anyway - why can't they just make socks in the appropriate half sizes (or at least in whole sizes, for Pete's sake) just like they do for shoes? One size does not fit all (and 'one size fits most' is another crock). Pure laziness.
The 'Just How Evil am I?' cache kicked our butts tonight. We were hoping to score another FTF, but alas, 'twas not meant to be. We had fun visiting briefly with Don, Alice, Maite, Trini, Tony, Aleen, Bill, Jesse, Bradley, and Vicky instead.
