Don't walk down stairs in socks... Especially not cannondale cycling ankle socks.
I took a spill at my top step, and tumbled all the way down the stairs for the first time since I was a kid. My drink went flying (no I wasn't drunk), and thankfully didn't hurt anyone when it shattered into a thousand pieces. Miraculously, the only thing that is really hurt is my left heel and ankle and my left wrist. It'll probably bruise up pretty nicely by tomorrow morning.
Sounds like it hurt. I was walking into work the other day and I almost slipped down the steps (it was raining out and the stairs are like marble or something like that [slippery stone of some sort]) . Anyway, glad to hear you're alright.
You really shouldn't wear ankle socks, anyway... Unless you're a girl or made 1st or 2nd place in the recent forum poll.
But, as long as you're going to, switch to Footsies, which have the little rubber strips on the soles. I'm sure your kids still have some in their drawers.
Whoa...glad you're OK. I used to fall down stairs routinely as a kid. My joke was that my hard head always saved me! Once had a knot the size of a ping pong ball right in the middle of my forehead! Take care, JP.

I'm glad to hear you weren't seriously hurt! You know you can but rubber fabric paint and paint little stripes on your socks, just like little kids have All joking aside I'm really glad you didn't break anything (other than the glass) and that no blood was spilled!

I did that for my kids, too. Puffy Paint. Good idea, Jenn. His little ankle socks will be safer for those stripes. Although, smiley faces might work, too.

Smiley faces would be perfect! Happy feet

Glad you're not hurt, JP. Sounds like you got off easy. A friend of mine did that a while back and broke her tailbone. She was in pain for a very long time.

Sorry.... the no show socks are the best. They make my calves look better , and I absolutely can't stand the mid calf sock look with shorts.

Yeah picking up glass sucks and it does come back to haunt you. Of course, I got stuck with the job since he was injured. I found beverage (thankfully diet so not sticky) and glass from the first step on down to the last and into the room amidst my ds's Thomas tracks. I figure I missed a piece of glass and it is going to be lodged into my cute litte babies fat in the next few days.

Mid-calf is nothing Nick, this past weekend there was a 30-ish guy at my gym with KNEE high socks, terrycloth headband and wristbands, and also rocking some 70's short shorts.
I shit you not. Typical LA hipster doofus that shops here
JP - ever consider going barefoot? :p

I might have gone over there and slapped him.
Oh, and I only wear black socks.

I'm with Kuri - this is solid proof that everyone should go barefoot in the home. Unless, of course, there's broken glass all over the place because a sock-footed family member slipped and shattered a drinking glass!! My wife and I and two daughters are definitely barefoot people - it seems to be genetic!!
I believe you meant the coccyx. Always wanted to say that.
Glad I could be there for you, RL. Next up .... "vagotomy".

Um, guys, some of us here live in places where it is a bit chilly to go barefoot year-round ....
