Do pairs of socks have a left foot and a right foot?

Well - of course they do.

Although at the philosophical discussion held in Cogolin last night - "Ces chausettes sont dépareillées" - there was some disagreement. The simple proof that a pair of socks - just like a pair of shoes - are so designed that one unit of the pair is designed for the left foot and the other is distinctly for the right pied. Proof - holes ! People who respect socks and therefore wear the left sock on the left foot and the right sock on the right foot - rarely have holes in their socks. Except in very elderly socks - or socks that sock-dissing people have borrowed from a sock-sympa person.

Even bedsocks are made for left-and-right-foot usage.

Stormy, cold weather here in the Gulf today - socks drawers were opened for the first time in about 4 months. How come - when they were put away in pairs back in April, they emerge as a knotted pile of odd socks. I have a excess of right socks......
