When I was in the cold working on my car last month, I had three pairs of thick wool socks inside heavy boots.

anything more than one makes me feel uncomfortable. i like being barefoot.

Comfort is not a factor, I want to know the physical limit. Can you get to the point where your feet are almost spherical?

One.

America.
And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

I usually wear two. The top pair of socks will have holes in them, so I wear another pair underneath so my toes don't poke through. I could just buy new socks, but meh...

I doubt there is a limit. It all depends on the socks and feet

I'm now wearing 8 socks on one foot. Still more room though.

Physically possible? You'd have to get every single material that is suitable for sock making in the universe and just keep making bigger and bigger socks.

I am currently wearing 2 pairs, but the snow here is finally melting after a month.
nope.

At what point can you no longer claim to be wearing the socks on your foot?

When the mass of the socks collapses into a black hole? Then are you wearing socks on your black hole?

No, that's just if you kick Ubuu in the arse.
nope.

or.. just wear the pair without holes?
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

...unless he's wearing one sock with holes in it to 'patch' another sock with holes in them.
2010-01-16, 11:33 PM #21
Or maybe the outside sock is a different color than the inside sock so his has cool colored patterns!

umm.. she. it's roxima.

Though I'm sure this is just an excuse to get round foot pictures, I must point out that simply stating a number of socks is meaningless.
I have a few pairs of winter socks, they are three to four times as thick as my regular socks, and a tight fit. I doubt I could put a second pair of them on.

yeah, someone's got a foot/sock fetish?
2010-01-17, 11:24 AM #25
I know someone with a foot fetish... definitely not a sock fetish though

Tibby's right about the quote.

Also, the maximum number of socks I could get on my foot was 15. My socks wouldn't stretch over after that. As you can see, that last one is barely on.

You have a girly foot and you don't really have visible leg hair! Are you gay or something.
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

It's only acceptable to wear one pair in polite society. If you're hiking, two pairs is a good idea, a thin pair of artificial material to wick away moisture and a heavy wool pair to keep in the heat.

How would polite society know how many socks you're wearing?

stat must have some stupid and horrible conversations.

"How many pairs of socks are you wearing?"
"Two."
"I'm reporting you."

I resent that remark. I am widely known for my soirees and early afternoon late summer Sunday brunches and in many circles, my luxurious and tasteful balls followed by a private midnight tasting party. Asking about sock preferences is an excellent icebreaker, but I doubt you would know anything about high class socks with your drawer full of mid high white cotton Hanes.
