We have a long-time acquaintance who maintains that once we wear them, socks are, in fact, left- and right-socks. But I digress.
I recently posted a photo of sneakers that gave me blisters on the back of my [left] ankle (on the Achilles tendon). So Clare got me a package of these socks that are reinforced to resist blistering of the feet. Since our feet are roughly mirror images of each other and not themselves symmetrical, specialized socks should not be interchangeable. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that they should have left- and right-designations. So there you are. :)

The only socks I own that are truly left and right are a pair that I made with separated big toes to be worn with flip flops or other throng sandals. Just in case you'd like to see them: https://365project.org/randystreat/365/2016-09-09
