I'm quite fond of activities that involve a bit of special sockage. For example, if I was any better at hitting a small ball with a long stick then I'd take up golf for its line in sock design. Definitely. As it is I spent a bit of time recently sliding down snow on planks and I did enjoy the opportunity to encase my feet and lower legs in long thick warm socks. I've noticed that many sporting activities lay claim to their own special sockage and indeed it's not so long since trainers insisted on their own range of specific socks altogether. You've got to watch those trainer socks though, they're the slipperiest customers in the 'back to the mothership' shenanigans. Maybe it's because they've been made for a quick getaway? Long thick warm socks, mostly black, mostly warm toes.
