I assign walking around the house with one sock on.
I can stand walking around with one shoe on, because I know there's going to be a difference in my stride and the height of that foot, but with a sock there's just no warning.
I'll walk across a tile floor, and the foot with the sock will be warm, but then the bare foot will be cold, and then I step onto a rough carpet and one foot stays the same, and the other feels every bump.
And stairs are the worst. I find myself stopping and trying to remember which foot goes next.
Yes, I'm blonde, what of it?
