Description:

This is a swap just for socks!! International and newbie-friendly but please read fully before signing up!

You will have one partner who you will send two pairs of socks.

I will not set a minimum spend as I think it will depend on what type of socks you buy!! However please buy quality socks not cheap pairs that will fall apart after the first wash!

Please either post in the comments below or clearly in your profile whether for whatever reason you can’t have a certain type of sock, for example:

  • No ankle/knee-highs because they generally don’t fit over your ankles/calves.

  • No toe socks because you are missing a toe…or have an extra one!

  • No woolen socks as your allergic to wool.

  • Etc.

Don’t be too specific and make your partners life difficult, it’s meant to be a fun, easy swap as socks are generally very accessible, so saying you only want knee-high spotty socks would probably cause problems!

VERY IMPORTANT!! MAKE SURE YOU EITHER POST HERE OR CLEARLY IN YOUR PROFILE WHAT SIZE SOCKS YOU NEED!

Also try to post it in a number of ways, check a clothing catalogue or just Google to see what your size converts to in other countries. For example, my size is:

  • UK Size: 4-7

  • Continental Size: 39

  • Other: Medium

ALSO VERY IMPORTANT…..

Send only brand new, tags still attached socks!!! No-one wants worn ones!!!!!

So what’s required to join this swap?

  • Rating of 4.7 or above

  • Newbie Allowed

  • FULLY COMPLETED PROFILE is a MUST

(By this I mean likes, dislikes, favourite colours, favourite animals, etc. It’s easy to add your own categories, and if you’re stuck ask myself or on the very helpful forums. Check other swappers profiles to get an idea of what a fully completed profile looks like. This not only helps your partner match socks to your likes if they want but it gives other swappers confidence that someone who takes time to fill out a profile will take time and care on swaps.)

I will ban before assigning partners if these requirements are not met!

Please rate fairly, it’s not necessary to get socks that relate to profile likes/dislike but it might be nice to. This is meant to be a quick, easy swap and I’d like to keep it that way! If you knit socks then by all means make your partners some, but just check their profiles first to check for fibre allergies, etc.

Any problems, queries, suggestions, questions, etc. don’t feel free to contact me!!

I don't really like knee high socks, I prefer ankle socks. Apart from that I like anything really. :D I'm UK size 4-7, continental size 39, American size 10.5

Nanamint 03/20/2008 #

I wear all kinds of socks :o) I'm continental size 40-41, UK size 6-8, US size 10.

Helena 03/20/2008 #

I could use some new socks! I prefer cotton or other natural material (or a high percentage of it, anyway). No wool, for the two reasons that 1) it itches and 2) I'm a vegan. And please no itchy stuff like glitter thread. Other than that, just surprise me! My shoe size is about EU 37, US 6.5, UK 4. I usually buy the size 37-39 in socks.

Yay! I love colorful, patterned, socks. Knee-highs, ankle-length, whatever works. If you send me toe socks I will wear them, but please know that you will have subjected my peers to toe-socks in flip flops. :) I only ask that the socks have no pom-poms. No wool please [I'm vegan].

I'm a US size: 9-11, UK Size: 5-8, and a Continental Size: 38-42. I'm probably a medium in any other size chart.

qweenoftheworld 04/15/2008 #

my shoe size is an american ladies' 10, so i guess my sock size is large. if at all possible, i'd prefer socks that are roomy in the ankle-- i have a bum ankle, so it tends to swell more at the end of the day that a person's ankle normally would. but, no worries, if they don't fit, i've got people i can regift to.

mikita 04/17/2008 #

I'm a continental size 40. Please no toe socks... it gives me a wierd feeling while walking. Home socks allowed :D

Hi there-Perpetualpaper~

I'm your partner for the sock swap and I'm still waiting on your sock type/color preference as it is not listed on this swap or your profile. Also the new shipping address you pm'd me needs to be updated in your profile before I can send. Thank you for your help. I'll let you know when I've shipped your package.

earthnk 04/28/2008 #

Hi Again Perpetualpaper~ thanks for updating your new address. Since you've just moved to a new state and have replied that you have no preferences toward the socks I need to buy. I'm going to hold off buying til close to the end date of this swap and allow you some time to get settled in. Here's an option if you wish I can buy socks for your children instead. Just let me know so I can send out the kind of swaps I like to send to my partners. I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks

GeorgeBee 05/10/2008 #
