slo’s THURSDAY 12/4 poll - Putting On Your Socks: Right vs Left Foot First

[slo]

Thank you to everyone for your well wishes - they truly warm my heart

Never really thought about it but now that you bring it up I guess I always do the right foot first. Not sure why, maybe because I'm right handed so starting on the right side 'feels' like the correct one to start with?

Good luck with the surgery!

I do right dock then left usually same with shoes.

No specific order really. I sometimes wear an elastic sleeve on my permanently swollen left ankle after my bad sprain 2 years ago, I might put the sock on over that first, but not an always thing.

Left foot or Right foot - which foot gets a sock on it first?
Do you change this or is it the same every day?

Generally, left foot first. But that's only since I had hip surgery a couple of years ago on my right hip. As I'm getting "better" (flexiblity-wise) it can vary, depending on how flexible I am that day.

I hope your surgery goes well, and fast recovery.

I don’t have a set pattern for putting on socks and shoes. Whichever foot I lift is first.
