More on socks

26 Feb, 2007  Mundanity

While putting on my daytime pajamas (i.e. sweats), I was wondering about what to use for my slippers equivalent. Slippers are just not appropriate (in my mind) to wear after I’ve gotten dressed, no matter how casually.

So I did what I usually do: I pulled on a pair of socks. Now, I would be embarrassed to wear these socks someplace if other people might see them, but here at home, they serve their purpose to keep my feet warm(ish).

But I got to wondering, which wears out socks more — shoes or floor?

I asked Plagioclase, but as glib smart as he is, he couldn’t decide. And I can’t either. The bottoms of the socks slide on rougher surfaces if you’re walking around the house (we’ve got wood, tile, vinyl and carpet), but inside of shoes there’s more full-time contact.

I’d run an experiment, but given that I can’t seem keep a pair of socks together…
