Had a similar problem til i got married. The missus had a two-fold solution which works for the family to date. First, she introduced a basket for soiled socks and then taught everybody to roll up the used socks into a ball before depositing them in the basket. After drying, the socks are rolled again into a ball and this time they go to a dedicated drawer.All my kids picked up the habit of rolling their socks into a ball and i observed that it would happen as soon as they stepped into any house. The beauty of this is that the rolled pair would be found in one shoe. Did i say she never puts the socks on the wash-line?. I always find them lined on the slab of the laundry . Don't ask me the reasonsmile . Finally, as Marko put it, it's Bata 100% cotton socks or nothing. They are comfortable and easy on feet and do not wear/stretch like those shainese stuff.


@Julie, ni wewe ama wewe ni wa kureduce winnings to manageable levels?

Socks are devils, either one side mysterious disappears or becomes unnecessary enlarged. I keep curling and replacing every 3 months. Majorly black and blue colours, brown not soo much smile


like at what @kusadikika says i insist buy quality cotton thin socks. They cost slightly higher but last and do not lose their feel.

I make a habit of having about 7 pairs maximum for official shoes and replace them (all of them) with new ones every half year

Kumbe this is a common challenge? Earlier in my marriage, this was hectic... going to the socks drawer to find socks missing partners... After a while my Mrs. found a solution. First, we use @guka's method when removing dirty socks i.e. put them in special basket. Secondly, after washed and dry, they are paired i.e. tie the pair together or put one inside the other. That way, I always find them together...

As for the wearing out, solution is as specified: buy only quality socks.

NOTE: every man has worn a torn sock with big toe looking once in a while... It's kawaida until you dispose them... smile

Have not found plain colours.The ones I have are for weekends and they are multicoloured with polka dots etc. He thinks they are childish but once in a while he wants to feel young.

Wewe!Washaa hiyo.

Hapana nunua isilii mimi.

BTW I don't think quality is the issue here.He does buy good quality and the same to me when I have to buy for him. Thats why I thought there is something I am doing wrong.Have learnt about how not to lose one.....now am keen on maintainance so that they dont get rough nor pale at the soles and also maintain color.

Will get some from Bata today and observe.

And thanks once again to all.Lets meet at the Goat 11.
