Socks. Quite innocent items, easy to wash, often necessary to keep your feet warm and very inoffensive. So why are my socks behaving so badly? Yesterday when I was out walking I could feel my sock (ankle socks) slipping down under my heel. When I got home and took off my boots sure enough my sock had made it's way to the sole of my foot. I couldn't understand why this had happened. Also the back of my ankle was rather sore having been rubbing on the back of my boot. Obviously I examined the sock and could see no difference whatsoever compared to the other one.
Then today, whilst I was working in the shop my foot (the same one as before) began to feel uncomfortable again. I sat down and took my boot off to see what had happened this time. This time my sock had twisted itself around so that the heel was sitting on top of my foot ! Before you ask, yes it was a different pair of socks, the same foot and the same boots. Now, I have been wearing these boots since last Winter and had no problems last year. The socks? Just normal socks and purchased from different shops, not too old and not brand new. So why is this happening? My foot looks the same as it always has and there isn't anything amiss with my boot, inside or out.
Tomorrow, I am going to wear my new boots Hubby bought me for Christmas to see if anything weird happens. Watch this space !!
