Foot Sox Original Sanitary Disposable Try on Socks (Womens Tan)

My LG front loader ended up having one of the 'TurboWash' jets get clogged even though I had kept up with the regular maintenance described in the manual. It basically had a fibrous plug develop that was reminiscent of a blackhead. I checked the filter and was surprised at how large the filter holes were; they were basically as effective as a colander for catching lint. Growing up with my old top loader, I remembered putting a set of old panty hose on the discharge tube so the utility sink didn't get clogged. I figured I could try something like that, but needed something that was easily accessible and filtered the water before the stray debris got to the washer's pump or jet tubes. Enter the footie socks. This allows a significant amount of stray lint/hair to actually get filtered out while not impeding the water flow to the pump. What you see pictured is about a week's worth of laundry for a household of 3, washing every temp from hot to cold and with bleach/vinegar/hydrogen peroxide. I change them out when doing the monthly 'Tub Clean' cycle and haven't had a problem with a clog since. To put them on just pull them over the "back" of the housing so the toe part of the sock points inward toward the washer. Poke a hole in the toe of the sock and slide the hoop through the hole. Pull the ankle part of the sock taut and tie it in a knot like you're tying a balloon. Then hook the bottom of the hole in the toe onto the notches on the back of the filter housing underneath the hoop. This will allow the water to flow in but not be obstructed by the mesh, and if the mesh does fill up it will allow the same safety bypass already built into the housing.

We've been buying these for quite a number of years now. The quality and sheerness of the sock is perfect for protecting our apples from insects. Sometimes, you don't get a perfect 12 dozen socks in the box...it can be a few socks short.

Came quicker than it said it would, works for what i need but not for feet.

Works great to deter apple maggots and coddling moths! Still got some bugs, but not nearly as many. The bugs got in near the stem where the foot sox didn't quite fully cover.

I teach contemporary (not country western) line dancing. I bought these to use over the toes and arch of my athletic shoes so I can wear them on the dance floor. If you're a dancer, you understand what I mean -- we need to be able to glide and turn on the balls of our feet, and regular athletic shoes grip the floor instead of sliding. Yes, there are plenty of brands of dance shoes that have soles made for this -- I've bought more than I can count -- but at my age (73) and after ankle injuries and surgery, there are few shoes that are genuinely comfortable for me, and none of these are dance shoes. I've tried lots of work-arounds, and this is a simple one -- wear my most comfortable athletic shoes, pull foot sox over the toe and arch (leaving the heel exposed) of each shoe, and dance away. I get about 6 hours of dancing out of each sock before they stretch too much to stay on the shoe. They're not high quality, but they're not made to be. Their original use is to be worn on feet, not shoes, and just for trying on shoes, not dancing. So they're fine for my use and just the right size for this purpose. I recommend them for other dancers who can't find (or don't want to spend the money on) the right dance shoes.

I ordered two boxes of these socks. Both boxes were marked the same and looked the same from the outside. I actually ordered them to put over pears to keep apple maggots out. The first box I opened the socks were long and the weave on the nylon was looser than I expected. Many of them didn't have the toes actually sewn closed. For my purposes I just tied a not in the end, but if you were using them for socks, this would have been awful, and it was really the majority of the package that didn't have the toes closed. I wasn't very happy with this product. Then I opened the second box. The second box contained nylons that were a tight weave, reliably sewn closed, and were much smaller than the first box. The only thing I could guess was that I had received two different sizes, but I compared the boxes and they were exactly the same. I was thrilled with the quality of the second box. If I had opened and used it first I probably would have asked for the first box to be replaced, but I thought both boxes were the same until I actually had used all of the first box.

I use these to protect my apples from 'apple maggot'. I slip one of these socks over the nickel-sized growing apple with a tiny rubber band... (bought here at Amazon, "Universal 18 Rubber Bands, Size 8, 7/8 x 1/16, 5000 Bands/1lb Pack"). I go through a few boxes every year & they work great. I've done this now for 4 years, and we went from 10% usable apple crop to virtually 100% good apples. Pick off/thin all uncovered apples when you 'sock' your apples. Don't let maggot-infected apples fall and rot on the ground. Throw them in the garbage or maybe bury them very deeply in the ground.

Our customers like this sock so much when they are trying on shoes, that they want to take extra home. The top is banded, unlike all the others, making it so easy to slip on.

Socks received is true as per photo and discription. It just needs to be of a little bigger size and the quality is very thin. It was fine for rare use in regular shoes.

fits good
