I wear the same footwear all year too cos I'm a trainer wearing bloke.
Though I sometimes wear big woolies and boots if I am climbing a mountain or walking on the moors

I nominate this thread for the Most Mundane Thread ever 
I have six pairs and 38 odd socks. Fortunately most of the odd socks are black so no-one notices. Once upon a time I deliberately used to wear odd socks - one blue and one red and such - used to really wind my Mum up.
I do sometimes wonder where all the other half of odd pairs actually go.

For me it's more of a 'living on the NE coast of Scotland and having crap circulation' thing, so I need/used to need wool socks in the winter.

Not remotely sock related, but an interesting aside....geminisnake said:
I've long believed that I have crap circulation, based on the fact that my extremities are always cold - people are forever commenting on it, cold hands, cold feet, cold whatevers...
Yet paradoxically, I'm always hot. At least, I always feel hot.
Now my, no doubt embarrassingly amateurish, explanation for this is that crap circulation should make you hotter, not colder.
Here's the science bit: If you've got good blood flow, why would your extremities be cold? By that, I mean cold to the touch. Lots of warm blood flowing == warm pink bits. I've spent years putting up with people saying "oh, aren't you cold" at the slightest touch. Which would, logically, seem to be the result of poor circulation. But I never feel cold - quite the opposite. Which whilst superficially appearing paradoxical, makes perfect sense to me. If I've got rubbish circulation, then all my warm blood is polling in the body core - resulting in an overall raised core temperate, making me feel permanently hot.
Discuss.

hello i was gone and now am somewhat back
I've got a few odd socks that trundle around with me on my (now finished) nomadic life. No pairs. But then I'm a terrible sock thief so I don't need that many.

SO. There.

You're just a freak sweetie!
Your hands are cold because the blood is staying in the core of your body so it would certainly appear that you do have circulation problems. Smoking doesn't help your circulation.
I know I have low B.P. which can result in cold extremities, maybe you should get that checked?
Do your own hands not feel cold to you? I can't sleep if I'm cold
Myabe you should start a thread about this in science?

Bringing YOU round.....
I must of bought hundreds of socks over the years ,yet I only seem to have 2 pairs 
I think there are two things going on here:
1) My socks like to go to that planet where teaspoons,forks, pens and lighters go
2)However what is more likely is that masterdarkone nicks my socks then when he goes to stay with babyfather, he then nicks them

I don't know what is more disturbing, this thread or that someone actually knowing how many pairs they own. 
Me - two boxes of them in the bottom of the wardrobe plus a bag of assorted thick wolly ones for the hills. No idae how many that is but normally, its more than enough.

feck - probably about 50. Some new-ish, some ancient. Most unpaired.
I ought to throw every single one out and buy some more. Being as I only wear black socks, they'd have to be all the same - saves so much trouble when pairing after washing.
I'd probably have about 20 pairs ideally. Means you don't have to worry about washing every week through winter and bad weather.

Buy pink, lilac, blue, pastel ones. See if they nick them

I have over ten but clicked 1-5 as that is the number that don't have holes in and are wearable.
I've got quite a few pairs - although considerably less today than I did yesterday as I had a clear out and the bin men have been.
I like brightly coloured plain socks, specially the red end of the spectrum, but they are not always easy to find.
