into stirrup socks by cutting off most of the toe/foot and the heel, leaving a stirrup to keep them in place... the reason is I come home and get out of my work togs (required wear) and into my jammies, I wear sheepskin shearling slippers year round (warm in winter, cool in summer too) but my ankles get cold ☹️
can't wear socks with the slippers 🤔 so the stirrup covers just my ankles well ...

I also sleep nude on a heated mattress pad but wear the same sock
and am comfy warm
✌🏼️
