Oh, I understand what you're talking about. Luckily, my feet are not that sensitive, but finding the fitting size is still a problem. Different brands seems to have very different opinions on what a number of a size is, so if number 23 of this brand is ok, it doesn't mean that number 23 of that brand will fit also. And I somehow get in this gap when 23 is too small, and 25 is too big (at best. At worst I may buy different pair of socks and discover that number 25 is too small, and 23 is too big, sometimes even of one and the same brand). It's a total chaos in size number in shops (or at least it was some 5 years ago in Moscow). One day I just came to a big shop with a ruler, bought some 5 or six different pair that seem to be of the right size, sit down right here, beside the cash desk, get off my shoe and tried them all. And then went in again to buy more of the brand that really fit. So, american socks love to play hide-an-seek with their owner too? Really, no other item get lost in laundromat so often than socks. Even handkerchiefs don't behave this way! If you put 3 pair of socks in a landromat (which means 6) you'll end up with 5 after the wash is over. Well, usualy. In rare case it could be 7. And how they love to crawl into duvet cover! My friend supposed once that they have they own socket universe, where they depart sometimes. But some of them return at unexpected moment! Only sometimes they miss a little bit their landromat-portal, because once in a while here comes a sock (usually only one) which is too big for me and too small for my father :) PS: Bamboo socks stretch? Thanks for the tip, may come in handy!
