This is really Ticking me off!!!

My socks are slightly overstreteched, and every 10 steps or so, they come down and past my heel. I can't walk anywhere here at work without getting ticked off.

Seriously, it really stinks!

Was thinking the same exact thing...either that or contact cement should do the trick.

Well I don't have Duct tape, but I do have Masking tape.

I feel like a complete idiot. I've got friggin' masking tape holding my socks up. {{Shaking head in disbelief}}

I think Bob The Great would be the one to seek advice from.

hmmm could be time for new socks.

Also depending how you fold your socks together when storing them can make a difference. Some fold them and then push them up through one of the tubes. Doing this will definatly stretch out the socks over time.

it is better to just fold them in half and store them in a stack in the drawer.


Edit: also can opt for the ankle cuffs rather than full lenth tube socks or perhaps the scrunchies.
