Question: How to prevent holes in sock?

(Posted by: WeeSiong on 2010-03-06 02:16:41)

The brand new pair of socks i bought got a hole in the thumb location when i took it off after a few wears. So, i would like to know if there is any possible causes? how do i prevent it? sorry for the wrong word usage when i was describing the problem... i meant the big toe instead of "thumb of feet ". Saw some of the answers given was to NOT using socks as handpuppets...sorry for the misunderstanding caused

Socks are designed primarily for your feet (unless you sew on 2 buttons and pretend it's a hand-puppet) - this may be where you are going wrong. Excessive use of the hand puppet to entertain your friends, video for YouTube, earn a few extra pennies as a children's party amusement consultant, to name but a few, will result in a hole in the thumb location. In common with most humans, there is no thumb on the foot, just a big toe (try looking up the rhyme This Little Piggy Went to Market) and four others. I think if you revert to wearing the sock on your feet (for which they were intended when you purchased them) you should rid yourself of the often under-rated thumb-sock wear syndrome.

Do you have fingernail polishes? you can draw it on the edge of hole, it will prevent the hole to bigger. i usually do like it. hope it good for you too!
