Question

Wouldn't the cuffs get stretched and then become loose?

Community Answer

The first three methods do not stretch out the cuffs, but the last one does a little. I fold my Nike crew socks that way and I do notice that the one that was folded around the pair is a little bigger at the top, but it doesn't bother me so I continue to do it. The socks get more stretched out when they are on your feet anyway.

Don't wear socks. Then they won't take up any space at all!

Question

How do I fold the socks if they are ankle length?

Community Answer

When I fold my socks, I lay them on top of each other, then take the cuff of the bottom sock, and neatly stuff the socks inside of it, leaving the toes hanging out. This has worked just fine with any socks I’ve ever had, including ankle length socks.

Who was the first person ever to invent the way we fold socks?

The first who invented the way to fold socks, was the first person who invented the sock. They're rather lost in the mists of time now...
