I am living the good life because i found the solution: Socks that are not saussage shaped, but shaped like a actual human foot. No more toes getting pulled into an uncomfortable lump. No cold feet either. (this is a winter only problem. why would anyone wear socks in summer?)

you can get them here: plus12socks (not only for children)

I've recently hopped on the barefoot shoe train and I think I'm gonna get some of these socks to go with them.

Thank you for commenting, these are way more aesthetically pleasing than those weird socks with the individual toe sleeves.
