I have never considered that there might not be a distinction, it always seems to me that the heels are different at least. Feet are different, shoes are different, so why would socks not also be shaped for the feet and mirrored left/right in the same way? Turns out, it depends which socks you buy - there are makes which are different, and ones which aren't. examples at https://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-left-and-right-sock-in-a-pair https://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-left-and-right-sock-in-a-pa... including toe-socks but not limited to them.
