Do socks have a left and a right?

It depends... Whether you are a right or left-handed person...

I have some cotton blend socks which after the first wear take on the shape of my foot and so I continue to wear them that way but no, socks are not made specifically for the right or left foot.....gloves, yes....socks ... no. Unless of course they are patterned socks or have a motif then this is worn on the outside of the ankle/leg.

[b]This reminds me of a scene in some old movie I saw ages ago. And no, I don't recall the title, or anything else about it, really. A man was explaining to his wife how you had to be careful when you made a sandwich to "be sure & get the slices in the correct order." Naturally she couldn't understand that (), so he demonstrated by taking some slices out of the sack--just past the heel, which he left in the bag. He picked up the 1rst 2 & showed them to her, saying they were "a pair." "See?" he said. "There's an inside & an outside to each slice. You don't wanna put the mustard on the outside, do you?" He pulled the "pair" apart to expose their "inside sides." His "inside" was simply the space made when he parted the 2 slices. And the "outside" was the far sides which faced away from the "insides." "Some people don't know that," he said, "& they reach into the bag & take out any old 2 slices from anywhere--even the middle!--not realizing they have sides that they improperly butter!" He practically shivered with the horror of it all. I don't recall for sure, but I think the wife just shook her head in bewildered dismay at this weirdness, then walked away. Sooo.... Tell your beloved to ask a sock company. They'll set him straight. My stars, the things some folks can conjure up in their fertile minds! Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

Do socks have a left and a right?!!! Only if you have two left feet! cdrxo

Ordinary socks don't have a right and a left. Whichever way is okay. But my socks have a left and a right. These are the ones with toes so it should not be interchanged or else the big toe will not fit on the little one.

Hi, During Bernard Shaw's time there was no right and left of sock and your feet had to make the best of them. But he insisted that it could be made right and left and accordingly had them ordered as he wished. But now we have socks both right and left.

Most socks will go one either foot, and there is no difference. Unless they are specially made socks. I have some socks made for running that have support features in them, so they have a left and a right one. Your normal, everyday socks, are equal for both feet.

I think there's a socks which designed for covering our toes. Such kind of socks have its left and right. So i don't think if this statement is a crazy. But if you are talking about a commong socks, it's true that such common socks have no left and right. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

No, of course they do not! Socks can be put on whatever foot you like! I know that they stretch to fit your foot while wearing them and if you take them off and then put them back on the other foot, then they feel wrong! But clean socks will go either way!

I'm puzzled about how he tell his right one from the left one.In my eyes,it seems the same.But I have a little tip to tell you.\(^o^)/~ If your big toe in the right impale your right sock,you can wear it on the other foot.This way,you won't persecuted by the fierce feeling,coz other toes won't come out.O(n_n)O~...But I think you'll choose to buy a new pair.Socks are different from shoes.They are soft which can fit your feet according to the shape of your feet.While shoes are not.Shoes are ironbound so much so that they have featured owners,one for right foot,another for left.

In general, socks do not have a left and a right. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, the majority of those fall into children's socks. The ones that have the characters on one side of them are definitely made for either the right foot or the left foot so that the character on the sock shows on the outside of the ankle. If your husband was my husband I believe that I too would have spent many hours laughing at him over this too. As for my husband, he doesn't even care if his socks match just as long as he has one for each of his feet.

Hi,i don't think socks have right or left.Maybe when the first person that invented the socks, he said, "it will be easy and quick for people to put on the socks without considering the right or left." :)

May be yes or may be not , not very sure never thought about it??????????

Well, your husband is wrong that socks are made like shoes. But, I will tell you; after my husband wears his socks for the day, I can tell what sock came off of what foot. Sounds odd, but after wearing them all day, they seem to shape theirselves from each foot.

Actually, it's not as crazy as it sounds. And to tell you the truth, I hadn't thought about this in ages until your discussion. I can't say that the socks I wear now are like that, but when I was a child, there definitely was a sock for the left foot, and a sock for my right foot. Maybe it was because they were socks for children, maybe it was the brand...Perhaps the socks weren't sold in a pack, and being sold individually made the difference. But I do remember that about the socks very clearly.

No socks don't have a left and right.How you like to wear you will wear it that way.When i come from outside i put the right sock in the right shoe and the left sock in the left shoe and wear it as it is.Then it becomes my routine right and left.If i feel a sock is uneasy on one foot then i will shift it to the other leg or leave it as it is so later it will become all right.

I doubt there is a designated foot for the sock....unless maybe ones for kids that say left and right on it.

Of course they have a right and left. The one is on your left leg MUST be left type, isn't it ? :-)) Sure, that is valid until you exchange left with right, yet again you'll have a left (ex-right) and right (ex-left). However, there are special socks made for each leg .. rare items but they exist.

Hello my friend Good question I always thought they did lol so you are telling me they don't NO lol they don't feel right when they are on the wrong foot you can look at them and see there is a right and left foot lol have to read the responses, I just asked someone they said they do have right and left foot, not tube socks

No I don't think socks do have a left or right. Imagine the time you would spend trying to match socks up in that way.
