I could be tempted, but I need the extended version. As in size 13+. Not a professional jockey or NBA player. Not even paid like one. But I look good in snowshoes.
Why is no one giving @jasontoon props for the spot-on write-up today? I have sat there stewing about time wasted as I sort socks for the 4 of us. And white socks have the same issue: look identical but this one is an inch shorter in the foot area than that one. Did one stretch, the other shrink, or is there 2 pair from same company with different foot area lengths for no reason since i buy the same size socks each time? So now I have to sort and find matching pairs for both, which i never can because the sock gremlins stole one (or it is hiding under my son’s bed and never made it in the wash).
Thank you, Jason, for voicing my pain.
I’ll stick with my black socks. I buy probably 15-20 pairs at a time, and rotate through them. They wear about the same. When I’ve lost enough due to holes or whatever, I’ll buy a new set of socks. Whatever pairs are left, get pushed with the other leftover pairs of black socks. They are all different enough that they are easy to sort.
@RiotDemon Curious, since you wear black socks all the time, do you have a problem with athletes foot? I always wore black socks and it was a constant problem. I changed to a lighter color and the problem went away. Now socks are my statement piece and since I own my company I don’t have to explain anything. I even got several of my clients to do the same and has similar results.
@bsci87 no, I don’t have a problem. I wear sneakers. The inside of my sneakers is usually black, or a darker color, so black socks look best when I wear shorts (all the time at work). I rotate my sneakers every day, and I put cedar sachets in them.
@harveydanger no idea. It started back when I lived with my ex. It was easier to differentiate socks that way. He complained if I accidentally wore his socks because my ankles were bigger. A little while after I started using only black socks, he started buying black socks because they looked better… Which was fucking annoying. I stayed with the black socks because white socks look stupid with dark sneakers.
@haydesigner I thought peanut butter at first too based on looks and the fact the person is wearing a glove so it “seems” sanitary, until you realize the person is using a dirty scraper to pick it up. A reverse image search turns up its some thick oil paint and was posted by this paint company to their instagram. There’s a few others there too.
I’m not sure WHY the person is doing what they’re doing. It’s it part of the normal process to put the paint into a canister, or is it just for demo purposes? I would imagine there’s a much more efficient way than manually scooping it up. However, maybe that’s part of why it’s so expensive (needing to pay for the slow manual labor instead of having a machine do it)?
Anyway, I’ve put waaay too much thought into this. I will just shut up now and enjoy the crazy gif
I’m single, so I’m considering purchasing these in order to know what it feels like to be a dad who gets crappy presents from his kids. Can you have some ugly ties next?
I got six pairs of these last time. They’re pretty comfy, although not as comfy as my Sock Club socks (but considering those are closer to $7 a pair, I’ll deal). Issue is the colors and patterns make it difficult to, say, find a nice bowtie or pocket square to match, as opposed to my nicer socks, which also have interesting (say “classy”) patterns but are generally more neutral. So you have to go ALL OUT with whatever you’re wearing, or straight-up not give a shit if they complement the outfit at hand, i.e. wear them around the house with a pair of PJ pants or something.
I’d also like to extend a big hug and a handshake to gentlemen who think you can’t look good or “manly” in fun socks. It’ll be okay, guys.
Grabbed a few pair of these last time & their great. Thick enough to hold up & not tear or hole but not so thick that they make your feet sweat up. In4nine!
@jiltant Sure, is your don’t mind killing all those woolites. Awful conditions, no room to flap their wings, and cruel process for extracting the wool.
@mcanavino You have no idea how many androids get skinned just to make one pair of these synthetic monstrosities. Often, hunters only take enough for the socks, leaving the androids to fizzle in their own microchips on the Data center floor.
I have money burning a hole in my pocket and meh has nothing to sell me. Day after day I come back to see striped socks or a plasma lighter or a knife or the blender I already bought of the Japanese bag thing that I have no hope of getting.
Tomorrow I expect something worthy of spending money on. Do it. Do it. Do it.
So if you get up at 2:30AM EST, you don’t get to buy the socks? What difference does it make if the socks are sold out before 8AM? First come, first serve. Second come, no serve. Third come, second serve. Meh!
@connorbush Some time ago I won a photoshop contest and the prize was 4 $25 coupons. My 4th and final one went to socks. Seems only fitting. Footing? Meh.
I think these socks come in set of three,One to put on your feet,One to roll up and put in pants, And one to cover your face so know one can see the dumb shit wearing them!
As a complicated bi-pedal humanoid I enjoy a barrier between my feet and shoes with a varied degree of complexity, and that is why I love these Unsimply Stiched dress socks!!! Unlike normal simple stitched socks these are unsimply stitched in a complex manner… and I like complexity. Did you know that if you wore a pair of socks every day for an average lifetime that would be 26645 days you wore socks???
In for 4 three packs in armadillo print and of course I got VMP, it has a very complex logistics path to save me money.
@msujp You must go every darn day and stalk/wait for them to stock the clearance end-caps. As a regular customer, I rarely find them for that price. $3 or so? All day at Marshalls. Well, for socks worse than these, of course.
@obxer i occasionally find the out of season cheapy socks on clearance- the Xhileration ankle socks are $1.50, but the quality is very poor and the toes wear out in a couple of weeks of regular wear. I like my socks to be $1/pair or less, but I’m sick of replacing them so often so I’m upping my price per pair.
@HemlockTea I was going to suggest getting them in the smallest size, but they’re only available in men’s 7-12, which would probably be quite large on most women.
Fancy socks have been my Xmas present to my dad for the last 20 years. Man has the best dressed feet in town. Hey look at me! I’ve started my Xmas shopping! Thanks, Meh- I fucking hate the holiday season and any assistance in making it easier is appreciated.
This many years later, I realized that one of the sets I ordered was not the one I ordered. It seems that I ordered Big Stripes and received Orange and Blue. Meh.
Did you know? The average male thinks about socks every 7 seconds.
@awk socks and violence?
@awk
“”“men’s”""
Got 6 pairs of these last time they were on sale. Super soft and cool-looking. Great purchase
@jawshark87 Yea, I love these socks. I have to express myself in some way. I don’t wear a tie so socks it is!! . This just made my 8am.
I could be tempted, but I need the extended version. As in size 13+. Not a professional jockey or NBA player. Not even paid like one. But I look good in snowshoes.
@WaltC I probably shouldn’t be asking this, but I have had a fair bit of rye tonight, so…
Is it true what they say?
@baqui63 it is! People with big feet need bigger socks.
@WaltC I like tight socks. I typically buy socks that are a little smaller than what I need.
@WaltC FWIW got a few last go around, and they fit my 14 size feet pretty well. Buy a three pack and see how they feel!
@WaltC right there with you. @thewynner do you think they will fit my size 15 feet?
@musicman they seem to still have some stretch when i wear them, so i would guess yes!
@thewynner thanks.
I wouldn’t mind some nice socks, but holy shit, meh, what the fuck is up with these patterns? Good thing I’m not epileptic.
Sock it to me- old laugh in joke…meh be a stitch in time too ?
@AttyVette sick it to me… I saw that
I think this deal socks.
I love novelty socks. Bring us some women’s sizes, will ya!
Where are the woman’s nifty polkadoted socks? You have only sold men’s socks, including giving VMP men’s mediocre socks… : (
I am going to put these on my feet.

Nope, not a match for me.

This is a decent price for some quality socks.
@conandlibrarian agreed. I just bought off of your site for the same price earlier this week. high quality stuff

@moonhat, what the hell is that??
@haydesigner at first I thought it was printer ink on rollers… But I’m thinking it might be peanut butter. I hope someone has the answer.
@haydesigner I was thinking paint, but it’s too thick for that… make up? wall spackle?
@RiotDemon if someone is packaging up peanut butter, they probably shouldn’t use a random old scraper they grabbed out of the garage…

Edit - Oh, everyone beat me to it. Don’t care, worth it.
Should of stuck with my first thought of printer ink mixing on rollers… Was closer than peanut butter. I didn’t even look at the mangy scraper, haha.

@connorbush, @obxer, @haydesigner
This is the coupon tho it was too late to use as of @dewaynelawson’s post last night.
I’ll leave it as an exercise to the reader as to where I found the coupon.

@haydesigner got it at the VMP paused sale, yea me! Only two options left, but one was the one I wanted the most, so score!
Perfect to go with my holiday outfit.
Oh good I missed the socks… I mean, oh no I missed the socks!
Crummy socks? I regret that I have but one ‘meh’ to give. I switched to wool (or wool blend) a while ago and I’m never looking back.
@jiltant Sure, is your don’t mind killing all those woolites. Awful conditions, no room to flap their wings, and cruel process for extracting the wool.
@jiltant I’m knitting my own socks but it will be a while before I can replace all my store-bought.
