I have seen some really cute toe socks but I could never wear then. Something in between each and every toe would drive me crazy!!!! How about you?

I have seen them and they are cute, especially the striped ones but I think those socks would bug me too much. It's the same reason I have never goten a toe ring. They look nice, especially with sandals on tanned feet, but I think the reality of their presence would drive me mad.

I thought the same thing when I first saw toe socks. I put off buying myself a pair for a longgggggg time. Finally i broke down and bought a pair just to see what all the fuss was about, and I love them! They actuall keep your toes from sweating when you are in shoes all day long. And it isn't bad having them on each toe, its like gloves for your feet.

Those would bother me too. When there's a hole in the front of my sock it bugs me when I can feel the torn area between my toes, and feeling something between ALL my toes would drive me nuts!

Hi brokentia, hope all is well. I personally prefer to be barefoot. I too think I would not like toe socks because the feeling of having something in between each toe would drive me crazy.

I know I see some really cute ones, but I think it would drive me daft to have as you say have something between each toe..besides I do wear toe rings so they might get snagged on them

My new toe socks - This is a photo of the toe socks that just arrived a couple days ago.
Oh yes, I have been wearing toe socks for years! I have both regular socks and toe socks, I prefer the toe socks, both winter and summer. In the summer my toes don't stick together and get all hot, and in the winter they seem to stay warming. I love my toe socks. A few weeks ago I placed an order for new ones. See photo

Toe socks - Toe socks
These aren't the ones that I thought were cute. But if you haven't heard of toe socks, this will give you an idea of what they are.

My friends kept giving me toe socks and I loved them but couldn't wear them. Then I had to wear a pair at a theme party and after a while they started feeling comfortable and I bought more. I don't wear socks during the summer but when it's getting colder I do. I usually don't wear my toe socks out in public but I like wearing them at home. They all have some cute decorations on them. When I was looking for toesocks online I came across a website that had all kinds of information on them, claiming they were actually healty and originally made as support socks and not just for fun. Something about keeping the toes seperate and not sticking together... look it up. It was a fun reading.

Where does a man go to buy toe socks? Or does he wear the rainbow colored toe socks? Oh and thanks for the idea, I've been trying for the longest time to think of the perfect gift for Medooley and now I've got it! Woo-hoo!

I've never really been into the whole toe sock thing ... first of all it would take too much time and the kiddos would have destroyed too many things by the time I got my socks on. They already destroy enough stuff while I'm putting regular socks on! I think they would drive me crazy too, kinda like when you get a hole in your sock and your toe keeps sticking out. I have a good friend that used to work in daycare and she would wear all kinds of crazy socks, including toe socks. The kids loved them and sometimes when she had things to do the kids would crawl around trying to catch her toes. If toe socks would make my kids stop crying - I'm all for it!

My 10 year old daughter wears these often! How I don't know!! Must be an age thing- I could not stand to have anything between my toes let alone all my toes! ARGH!! and they look so hot! I hate having hot feet-- makes the rest of me hot too-- They are sure cute-- but no thanks- I wonder how many of us adults wear them?

Ok, I was totally skeptical about toe socks when I forst saw them too....but I think it was my sister who sang thier crazes and convinced me to try them. Besides being a little more time consuming to get on....I love them! I like the squishy feeling of fabric between my toes. I never would have thoguht I would, but I do. I know own numerous paris, and you are right there are some really cute ones out there. I think my favorite pairs are my black and white stripped pair, and my rainbow stripped pair.

I love toe socks and I have tons of pairs of them. I know this is going to sound funny, but if you give them a chance, you really stop noticing the fabric in between your toes. It's like wearing a new ring. first you really notice it, but then you adjust and it starts to feel strange when you don't have it on. My only warnings about toe socks is that they can actually make your feet colder because now your toes aren't geatting body heat from your other toes. they are on their own. also, toe socks can kinda push against the inside of your toes when you try to stuff your feet into tight shoes. So in some ways you gotta be careful. Other than that, I think they are so cute and fun that they are totally worth a shot.

My sister bought me a pair of toe socks a couple of years ago. At first, I liked them, but after a while, they started to annoy me. I don't like the feeling of my toes being separated like that. I much prefer regular socks.

I like both kinds, some thick, some thin,just depending on the weather. And the shoe. I am wearing toe socks right now with clogs. The thing I can't do is wear flip flops. Of course I have not tried them with toe socks.

I can't stand toe socks. Of course, i'm a guy, and that would be a little weird. So i had to ask my wife and all she can do is snarl. LOL This is what she says, flip flops are okay. No biggie there, but something between each and every toe, rubbing? that's way too much friction between my toes. Plus, sock lint in between the toes? Ew. LOL so i'm guessing that toe socks will never be an issue here...I should also mention she just hates to wear socks in general, so there might be some bias.

I LOVE toe socks!!! My family thought I was crazy the first time I wore them, but they make me laugh each time I look at my toes, so why not?? Even when I have shoes on, I know I have them on, and they give me a secret smile. I bought a pair for my husband, mr monkey toes, and he will wear them once in a while when he know I need a good laugh. I even got fuzzy furry ones. It's the simple things in life that keep us going, so go for it, get a pair, they'll keep you smiling.

My daughter likes to wear those toe socks and I think they're cute. But for me there's no way I could wear them. They'd drive me crazy. I acn't even stand it when my regular socks get twisted or bunched up under my toes.
