Ten Strange and Unusual Pairs of Socks You Can Buy Right Now

I wear the same pair of shoes for months on end. I often wear the same trousers for 1 week without changing them, the same t-Shirt for a few days. But what I do change each and every day is socks and underpants. I do find myself wearing high-quality Diabetic socks as well as they not only help keep my feet dry, but they are also good for foot injuries and increase blood circulation which is never a bad thing.

My mother often said to me: “Make sure you have clean socks and pants on every day in case you get run over.” I think she was going mad because if I was run over making sure I had clean socks is the last thing I would be happy about. But maybe I would feel better if I got run over wearing a set of these weird and unusual socks…
