I always always wear my socks, summer and winter, no matter what the season, I can not imagine myself without socks. This is one of my favorite pairs and I am usually wearing them. So it's no wonder I now have a couple of holes on them. My thumbs on my toes have made holes in my socks but I still wear them. When I take them off they remain shaped by my feet. And they smell just like my sweaty feet. You would like that, do not you!
