That's probably so it's easier to see them instead of being hidden on the outside edge of your foot I'm guessing?

I dare you to get milder than this.

What's infuriating about that?

Honestly it would be more mildly infuriating if they both weren't on the inside of the foot so I'd say you're good.

So you can see it when you cross your leg to put on your shoe. Then it would be facing up as you look down.

Seems like a good design though?

Are you sure your feet are on correctly?

It's more symmetrical that way

They're actually in love with each other and those are tattoos of the other to show their love.

Exactly the kind of thing I would expect to mildly infuriate someone who wears socks labeled right and left.

At least they are in alphabetical order.

You’re wearing them on the wrong feet.

Ok, but why do they even need side indicators? I thought socks could go on either foot.

This is so other people are less likely to see that you have L and R for your socks. Yes, I know these are probably inside your shoe, but some people wear socks and sandals.

These Balegas? I've got something similar on mine

They’re just trying to disprove my assertion that it’s always the left sock that goes missing.

Relax, it’s just big sock doing big sock things.

Have you tried using letters to differentiate them? I have 1 pair with similar indicators and they are on the same place.
