Members BEAD Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 My shoes are leaky, and my socks got wet about 7 hours ago. I'm in school now, and won't end up taking these damp socks off for at least 7-8 hours. I should have brought spare socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bike 10 miles to work in the rain, so my socks get wet. I usually pack a spare set (I remembered spare pants!) but today I forgot to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BEAD Posted January 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 Originally posted by johnny6644 sarcasm I noticed your sarcasm. It really isn't terribly wet though, because it doesn't really rain all that hard, and it doesn't rain all day. It does seem to rain during my commute though.

Plus, we had a 77 degree day at the end of December. The Oklahoma fires were bearing down on us, but, amen, we finally got some rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted January 19, 2006 CMS Author Share Posted January 19, 2006 Man, you kids with your broken glass and brothers and sisters, you're all pussies. Why in my day, we didn't even have arms and legs. We were just stumps. Glass? Hah! We had no glass, no food. We had to suck lint off the carpet for nourishment. And Drive-throughs? How the {censored} were we supposed to drive with no arms and no legs....one stump working the gas, the other working the gas and brakes? Coffee house jobs? Damn, we dreamed of a cush job like that. We had to mine coal all day. We were lint-sucking, coal-mining stumps. But we were glad for what we had. *Most of this courtesy of the great Richard Jenny* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 You might want to look at a pair of goretex sock liners. You wear them over your regular sock, and they do a really good job of keeping your feet dry. Check 'em out at REI, Freddies or GI Joe. They're not cheap ($20-$30), but cheaper than a pair of goretex boots. Unless, of course, you enjoy being an Oregon webfoot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Retrovertigo Posted January 19, 2006 Members Share Posted January 19, 2006 Originally posted by groutt Oh man, are they going to be some ugly wrinkled pissed off feet when you get home. Too true. Having wet feet for an extended period of time sucks. I used to work as a dishwasher for a big restaurant, and my feet would be completely soaked(and I mean SOAKED) for just about the whole 7 hours I worked every day. When I got home and took my socks off, my feet would just be this nasty pale (almost seafoam) color, and I had callouses on the sides of my big toes so thick that it hurt to bend them down.I feel your pain chunkathalon, I feel your pain.
