Toe sock dilemma.

It's cold here. Below freezing which is pretty brutal for Arkansas. I'm getting ready to go out and trying to dress for the arctic conditions. I have a paid of warm toe socks that I love except for one thing. My pinkie toes are too little to fit into the socks' pinkie. Does anyone else have this problem?

If it's a cold weather and you expect to go out somewhere where it's not that warm, i'd advice you to leave the toe socks home and wear normal socks, since those are far warmer. I once severy damaged my toes with the freezing cold due to wearing toe socks (I live in finland and that's really cold). If you expect to go to visit a friend's house where you know it's warm, you can wear the toe socks, just put tissue or something into the pinkie-place so it doesn't look like you are missing a toe. :P

I usually fold the sock's pinkie under and shove my last 2 toes into one sock pocket. I wonder how many people think I have webbed toes.

Wait, too small? How does that work? I mean, it still fits in there, right? I don't understand.

Yes, I share your pain, but I still wear my toe-socks because they're stripey and purple and look badass. I also have the same problem with gloves.

I got toe socks from my aunt last Christmas. Those socks are evil!

All of my toes except my pinkies are long...I'm able to pick up dimes with them. My poor little pinkums, though, are tiny and their socket pocket keeps slipping off of them. Poor poor little guys.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm obsessed with socks and own several thousand pairs of toe socks and my toes are waaaay too small. In fact, I think they may be shrinking.

Anyway, you just wear shoes over the top, and if you want to show off the socks, wear regular socks which are incredibly, incredibly cool. No one will know...
