I wear them for 1 of 3 reasons:
1 - If I'm just walking around the house
2 - If I have to dress up warmly to do stuff outside in winter
3 - If I'm playing softball
Sure, I still wear tube socks, but only around the house or when I'm sleeping in the winter time to keep my tootsies warm. The best thing I ever wore were my ex-fiance's electric socks. He was a hunting and skiing enthusiast, so I bought them for him. And promptly stole them back! They were the ugliest things you've ever seen -- Gray with bright orange stripes, and little pockets on the sides for the size D batteries that kept them warm. Hey, I didn't look like a smoking hot tigger schlepping around wearing the electric socks and my flannel nightgown during cold weather, but I sure was TOASTY as hell. Right now, I'm trying to develop a prototype of YOUtube socks!
