So i have 2 different "types" of socks. One is my casual, typical white cotton socks, and the other is my colored (racist!) socks for work.
The problem lies in the work socks. I seem to be putting holes in the toes of the socks of EVERY pair of socks i buy. I've tried different types, and it seems to happen roughly 2 weeks after i buy them.
Some maybe useful info:
- The socks fit. They arent too tight or too big
- I only wear them once before putting them in hamper for washing. i do laundry once a week
- I do not have this problem with my cotton white socks
- I tend to get callouses on my feet from my work shoes. But they are not in the location of the holes
Its pretty freaking frustrating walking around with your toe sticking out of your sock. And i dont have the money to be buying socks like its another bill. Any tips i could try to avoid this?

Mainly wondering if it would be my shoes that are causing it. Oh, and it was suggested to me to wear my cotton socks UNDER my work socks to give it more padding and strength. Good idea?
I went out and bought that Dr. Scholls thing for the inside...really didnt seem to help any.
Do the socks bunch up on you / or slip down your leg / ankle while wearing them prior to the holes getting worn in them? That can aggrevate things.
If your feet are getting callouses from the work shoes, they are either knockoff type shoes, or the wrong size.
There are a couple different dimentions when buying dress shoes that all need to fit, if they dont then problems occur.

It is all one peice, but the "end" stitch is right by the knuckles of the toes. Dont really think that is relevent information...also, the holes appear on the index and big toes. Rarely will they appear by the pinky toe (which is right nearest the callouses, ironically enough). You would think that the callous is caused by too much friction, thus causing the socks to have socks there huh? not the case =(
Yes. Lots of different ones. I dont think ive kept with one brand before...
Nope, for the most part they stay stationary. The same position they were in before i put my shoe on. Not much moving around really.
Could be the problem. I didnt exactly get these shoes fitted to my dimensions. Like i said, they were a gift and ive had them for like 7-8 months now. Just decided to ask for help now because im literally running out of socks and was about to buy some more.
What kind of work do you do? Could very well be the shoes.

I work in software test and development, but i also do all of the internal support for my software throughout my entire company...which means lots of walking to people's desks and labs. Most of the time, i find an excuse to get away from my desk...which obviously leads to more walking.
For the most part, my shoes feel comfortable (when im not walking). They dont feel very tight or anything though.
Other suggestions: go up a sock size so they're looser around your toes, or get sturdier socks.
It's more of a scrunch. Scrunch them to the toe section and then getting the sock on should be really easy from there on. I had to move to this method as after a shower socks never seem to want to go on easy and I would end up ripping them in half.

damn man, thats hardcore. Like a mini-Hulk.
Aight well i will make sure to give myself a pedicure more often and try to wear looser (is that a word?) socks and/or wear the socks i have now more loosely.
Thanks guys! thread over!
