Is Something Wrong With Me? Besides the Obvious . . .

Last weekend I did a lot of walking up and down the sledding hill in my duck boots, and I eventually grew so annoyed that I had to switch to my regular hiking boots because when I wore the duck boots my socks kept getting pulled down . . . somehow the duck boots were literally sucking my socks right off my feet, and I am wondering: is something wrong with my feet? is something wrong with my boots? does this happen to anyone else?

It's gotta be the shoes.

i don't know if i should get a new pair of duck boots, or if the same thing will continue happening. it's very frustrating.

If you posted this sentence a few days ago I would have sent you a link for 60% off Carhartt boots (which I used to get some new boots myself).

Off topic but this should be up your alley being an English teacher and all.

This post has been up for eight and a half hours and nobody has brought up that you have intensely hairy, hobbit-like feet AND you're a swarthy, oily guy, so that you basically have a full head of greasy hair on each foot, ensuring that your socks will always, always fall down?? Imagine putting a wool ski hat on Rony Seikaly's head after an overtime game and then trying to pick him up by the pom-pom! I'm actually surprised you even need socks, I mean I know the soles of your feet are bare, but can't you thread and knot the hair down under your feet to protect you from blistering? When you used to wear Teva sandals it looked like a pair of little Chewbaccas in gimp gear. Consider that this only happens in your duck boots a minor miracle, and, until you start trimming and powdering those two chinchillas you call feet, please stop falling into the trap of blaming your duck boots.

ok-- believe it or not-- this happened to both of my feet, and my right foot is shaved right now because i've been taping it with duct tape for my plantar fasciitis . . . so not a bad theory but there's still some explanation needed.
