Ok hear me out.

I’ve never worn normal socks inside out because it’s so easy to get them into the correct orientation. But I have a whole bunch of toe socks now, and the easiest way to take them off is by peeling them off, which leaves them inside out at the end.

I’ve been righting them and washing them, but it adds quite an annoyance as for every n socks it adds n time.

So I am wondering can I just get away with wearing them inside out half the time?

Potential downsides I’ve already though of:

  • It might look dumb
  • It might wear out the fuzzy side faster than normal.

Let’s say those are both a price I’ll willing to pay. Is there anything else I haven’t thought of? Does anybody have personal experience or cultural knowledge in this regard?

Edit: this is all very good information. Thank you, I’ll try it out for a few days.

      They’re more comfortable, and it’s easier to wiggle your toes inside of the shoe if it has enough space – your toes are less smooshed and easier to spread out than in regular socks.
