A beautiful snowfall with fresh, clean, bright and crunchy snow.

Nothing could be better than putting on a warm hat, warm gloves, a nice coat, a pair of snow boots and heading out! Right? WRONG!  It gets ruined every time!

What was supposed to be a beautiful walk was ruined again!

The Sock Eaters Have Been Attacking Me My Whole Life!    

  Every pair of snow boots I’ve ever had have been SOCK EATERS! From the time I was a little kid and my mom dressed me up to play in the snow, right down to this day. Nothing but a long line of stink’n SOCK EATERS!   

 Why, the sock eaters even attacked me today! I went out for what I thought would be a beautiful walk and wham, they got me again! How could I be so stupid? Is my memory so short? Evil boots!  

What Are Sock Eaters?  

  Come on, I know that many of you out there already know. They are boots that in some mysterious way cause your socks to slowly creep down your calf until the back of your heel is naked and you’ve got a scrunched up ball of a sock at your toes! Sickening!

• What’s up with that?  
• Why haven’t “they” fixed it yet? 
• Are “they” playing with our emotions? 
• Is it all just some sort of cruel joke?    

Above are two examples of typical sock eating boots. So warm and cozy looking and yet so nefarious!

 It Doesn’t Hurt Does it?  

 No, of course it doesn't hurt. But it’s got to be one of the most annoying feelings on the planet and that is a pain!    

Even if you could reach down and pull up your socks every few minutes it would already be VERY bothersome but you can’t. You see, the top of the sock is already below the height of the top of the boot even before it starts its exasperating trip down your leg! There’s no way of getting in there so you’ve got to take the whole darn boot off to make the adjustment!     

Here was my situation this morning after just a short walk! I could have screamed!

Shouldn’t The Boot Manufactures Have Found a Cure by Now?  

  Are you telling me that with all of the technological advancements we’ve made that they haven’t been able to fix it? They’re playing with us man! Can’t you see that it’s a conspiracy!   

Have you ever seen those robotic machines that test the furniture at Ikea? Boot manufacturers should do the same thing for their cursed boots. There should be a disply in the boot store with a mechanical foot with a sock on it that's inside a boot and doing a simulated walk! Get with the program boot manufacturers!  

Every boot should come with a guarantee such as: "This boot is guaranteed not to be a sock eater! You can walk for up to 8 hours without adjusting your socks or your money back!"

Points to Ponder  

• Have you been attatcked by the sock eaters?   
• Is there a cure for this condition?   
• Can you come up with a solution for me?   
• Will you help me put a stop to this?

I hope that you enjoyed this story about those maddening, evil, sinister, malicious sock eaters!          

Until next time,
