Anyway, I went to the women's sock section, and it was full of small, elegant and often rather frilly or decorated socks. None of them looked warm. You could buy plain black ones, but they were thin and clearly designed for wearing with Smart Womanly Shoes, not stomping through mud in boots.
So I went to the mens section again and stocked up on thick, warm socks in attractive shades of blue, purple and green, for noticeably less than it would have cost me to buy thin chilly Woman Socks. Fortunately I am blessed with relatively large feet.
FEET HAVE NO GENITALS, TESCO. I really don't understand why all socks are not presented in one row, going from Very Small to Very Big. I don't object to the existence of thin socks with sparkly kittens on, but I reckon that at least 80% of dogwalkers I meet are female, and there was not a single sock in the 'women's section' that was well-adapted to that sort of life.
ETA: yeah, yeah, I know. Don't give them money and then go away and moan about them on the internet : take the money elsewhere to someone who does it right. But I'm SO lazy and also I have this internet right here to whinge into!
