I read this article in the Metro a while ago now. Well, a long while ago: about a month, to be precise. I am therefore very late in the news, but I wanted to mention it to you, for safety reasons. So without further ado: when you travel on a plane, do not wear black socks. Especially if you take your shoes off. As they are hard to see in the dark, you risk getting stepped on, or have a whole food and drink trolley roll over your feet. So yes, avoid black socks when you travel. I don't know when I will go on a plane, but I will now keep this advice in mind. Thankfully, I have a lot of bright, colourful socks. I even blog about them sometimes. So yeah, I should be safe.
IMHO, only boors take their shoes off on airplanes. Keep the shoes on and it doesn't matter what colour your socks are.
ReplyDeleteOn long haul flights over seas, I take my shoes off. It is just more comfortable. My feet are small so are rarely sticking out in the aisle. But if you are a tall guy with big feet, I can see where this would be problematic.
