It's not like someone else is going to steal your socks, unless you have little Pixies running round your house.

I wouldn't have thought normal shoes would cause your feet to much of a problem provided they are well fitting and not silly fashion type things! The stresses the foot is under during walking are a fraction af that which are placed on them when running. Also your gait is quite different while running compared to walking.

Look at that a silly post and a sensible one at the same time! Who said I couldn't multitask!!!

All my work socks are black, yet as they've been washed more and more, they start to turn slightly different shades, so I have to spend ages finding the nearest matching pairs

That was actually fashionable for a while in the 80's.

No, you need to buy two pairs as they only come in one colour per pair so to get odd ones you need to buy one pair green and one pair yellow. Might go for one pair pink too to really mix it up!!!
