    That doesn't help pairing them up at all.

    Nah, what it is, is that I'm partially sighted and wearing socks with coloured heel & toe is the only way to ensure they're on properly.

    I'm confused. Why doesn't it help pairing up? I can spot my socks in an amongst OH's black socks and pair them quickly.

    My son, who has learning difficulties has different coloured heals and toes and that helps him be a bit more independent when dressing. He can work out which is the right way to put them on. A godsend. :A

    Because 2 years ago I brought some pairs and 2 sets were very similar. Even though it wasn't that noticable, I would usually walk around with odd socks on.

    i also rate the next socks for both women and children, they wash and tumble dry really well. For some reason i've never bought the mens ones because my other half is a builder and trashes clothes, but then i'm always buying him new cheap ones because of the holes....maybe i should try the next ones out for him. Asda do similar socks but after a few months they look tatty and they shrink.
