Socks

           Recently I realized that all my socks have holes in them. I do not wear my socks on my feet while I'm outside, or purposely in any way create holes in the bottom of my socks. Holey socks are extremely frustrating because of the uneven feeling that I get while I'm wearing them. I think it's time for me to get new socks.
           I figured out one cause for holey socks: the woods. I commonly go out into the woods. In the woods I climb trees, knock down semi-dead trees, and cross rivers. After I got back from the woods I took off my shoes. Debris from the wilderness poured out of my shoes. I looked down at my once clean and nicely woven socks and saw a terrible thing: a big hole.
          Due to the fact that there are many different types of socks, there are also certain socks that are comfortable and certain socks that look/feel right. For me the socks that look right and the socks that feel right are not the same. I personally like the above-ankle socks for comfort and overall feeling. I think that those socks are extremely unfashionable and just don't exactly look right. Ankle socks however, look better. When I wear the above-ankle socks with shorts I always think that they look like they shouldn't be there. Ankle socks are also more of a summer sock and they are almost more comfortable on those extremely warm days. The reason I think that ankle socks are less comfortable because they always slide down to the bottom of my foot and that position of my sock is uncomfortable.
