I try to buy the same kind ................ but find that even 1 year later, the manufacturer has made changes, which may even be making the sock shorter by an inch!

"Updating", you know

It's not as bad as trying to buy the same type of shoe when you've found a really comfortable pair .........

........... here many companies only have styles on for one SEASON, let alone one year. That includes walking (or comfort shoes, as they call them), not only fashion shoes. They make little tweaks ........... which can make a big difference in the actual wearing.

There's a thin line between being trendy and the 'oh bless, she's got odd socks on' though Florence :-D :-D

I have a couple of pairs of socks which are odd by design :-D

Sorry Rose, I seem to have taken your thread into the realms of the missing sock

In answer to your o.p. - I know nothing :-S

:-) Island,

Son is a big fan of unmatched socks, his are black with a coloured heel and top (M & S sets for Christmas ) so it doesn't really matter which colour, a nice purple and green combination etc :-)

grandson (10 next month) has some deliberately unmatched socks. I looked at them a bit quizzically when I saw them, and daughter said "It's OK, Mum. They come like that!"

....but when you reach a 'certain age' and wear odd socks, will you be thought of as 'really trendy', or just 'losing it' :-(

You made me laugh Maggie.

I thought dtr was losing it but it seems she just doesn't care. :-D :-0

'Don't sweat the small stuff - they are hidden from view' is the response. :-D <3

I wonder where she got that from, I ask myself ..... :-D
