Socks

I have a love hate relationship with socks.  Maybe just a hate-hate relationship.  They get lost in the dryer.  They make my feet hot.  They trap sweat.  They're ugly. 
But I walk a lot and my feet get blisters.  They get cold and wet and generally uncomfortable.  So I submit to socks and suffer the ugly, sweaty, consequences. 
I bought the September issue of Vogue today, mostly just to see what all the fuss is about.  I was pleased to see in it's pages (aka ads) many models wearing very visible socks poking out of heels, Mary Janes, and even sandals.  Damn, is that a trend I can get behind.  A warm and comfortable way to wear fashionable shoes.
Although I have professed to despise socks, they are warm, and they prevent blisters, which are a bit of a plague for me because I walk so frequently.  Should I reconsider socks? 
Hmm.
