You get one box per type.
Then you stuff the 50 identical socks into the same box. Replenish when at 50% capacity.
- TeMPOraL 4y agoHow do you do wear-leveling? The socks may start as 20 identical pairs, but in a few weeks to few months, they will be all shades of grey.
- FredPret 4y agoThat’s oddly not much of a problem for my socks, but as soon as it fades visibly, out it goes
- amelius 4y agoYeah, with all the vendor lock in it's not possible to repair even your own socks these days ...
- solarmist 4y agoSock darning was a think until the mid-20th century. It's a pretty interesting technique. You basically reweave the worn part of the dock with fresh thread/yarn.
- readthenotes1 4y agoI have darned socks this century.
- solarmist 4y agoWow, that's amazing. Why?
- readthenotes1 4y agoThey had holes in the toe area, easy to repair. I don't like shopping, not even amazon. I feel a little guilty about how much I consume so try to conserve when easy.
- RunSet 4y ago> How do you do wear-leveling? I seem to be the only one here who has a preventative solution instead of treating the symptoms. https://www.sockclip.com/ https://www.sockclip.com/ Each and every pair of socks is mated for life and wear-leveling is only a problem to the extent that I favor my dominant foot. The clips have a high retention rate such that no more than one clip comes loose each wash cycle, which means it is obvious which socks made the failed escape attempt.
- JohnFen 4y agoThis hasn't been a real problem for me. I'm not sure why. Some of it may be that I buy black socks, not white, and some of it may be that I mix freshly laundered socks into the clean sock collection, so every sock gets used about the same amount overall.
