October Secret Sister Sign up and theme choosing.

Well, not really. The socks I wear to work cost a lot more than cycling socks, as do hiking socks and even running socks. Cycling socks are probably the cheapest socks I own. To me a cycling sock is similar to a running sock: something that wicks, coolmax or something similar in the summer and something with wool or a warm synthetic in the winter. I buy special socks for cycling because they are usually cheaper than the very similar socks I buy for running; my running socks have a little padding in the sole and the cycling socks don't need that.

But any socks are good!

Funny, the socks I use for running and cycling are super thin, coolmax wicking socks. Some have dimpled tops so that the air flows better. None have padding anywhere. They are also pretty cheap.

I think of cycling socks as being stiffer, thicker and more expensive actually, than the running socks. And they feature interesting & strategically placed graphics.

Be pretty good receiving socks, as generally I do not wear them, it is usually around November that I stop wearing flip flops but I am the exception to the rule, even in the UK.

Maybe fur lined flip flips would be the answer..............only kidding

Even then, I tend to wear trainers but no socks.

The only socks I would never wear are those weird short socks that just about cover your ankles.

You guys certainly know about socks, do you have the same problem we have in the UK, that when you take them out of the washing machine there is always one missing!!! I guess it's just one of life's little mysteries.

Yeah, I was like that and then my SS sent me some and they are soooooooo pretty and flattering to the leg-line (I looked at my reflection in a huge plate-glass window on Saturday so this is totally up-to-the-minute info)
I am now a convert. Thank you to her for broadening my horizonz

I'm in btw. Just going to look up the appropriate size in American then I will pm Light Saber

thankyou Oxy, it's always nice to have a translator, i always feel like such an idiot; i am supposed to be fluent in ENGLISH!

What is the best way to let your SS know your gift is going to be late? I'm thinking of participating in the sock exchange but tight funds may delay things into the first part of November.

Thanks,
Marcie

If it makes you feel any better...I only know it from reading Harry Potter!

Thanks so much for answering the "cycling" sock question. I think I'm adequately prepared now to participate!!
