    I’m not sure what this comment is referencing but nah. It’s just me on a small farm, small herd. This shit just happens when you wear the wrong sock with boots. And you never know it’s gonna do that til you’re in the middle of something and it does it. I always just end up taking the socks off and stuffing em in my pocket lol.

      I live in a rural city. It’s pretty common for high school kids to “volunteer” to go shuck corn on local farms. The boot in this picture is a Chelsea, a slip on shoe that’s only a boot because it covers the ankle and is generally made of leather. There’s a large patch on the side made of stretchy material, and it would be absolutely the worst boot to wear on a farm.

      Also, have you tried sock garters? Boots with no socks might be less comfortable than a garter. Though I avoided that problem by just buying new socks constantly

        I have not tried that but I will look into it now. I don’t find it too uncomfortable without socks, I’m kinda used to it. But I could understand that for others though. Thanks for the suggestion!
