1. For each type of sock you need, find only one you like best, perhaps on Amazon or at Costco
2. Get a container for each kind - I have the soft shell travel zipup kind.
3. Buy en masse and stuff each container.
4. Don’t let anyone in your house discover your sock nirvana
You never have to match pairs again

End of list.
* you only need to pull 3 socks to have at least 2 of them match
* they are black anyway, not like someone will notice. And if they do, tell them to keep their feet fetish in check
P.S. You aren't, by chance, homeless, are you?
You get one box per type.
Then you stuff the 50 identical socks into the same box. Replenish when at 50% capacity.
It's a pretty interesting technique. You basically reweave the worn part of the dock with fresh thread/yarn.
I don't like shopping, not even amazon.
I feel a little guilty about how much I consume so try to conserve when easy.
I seem to be the only one here who has a preventative solution instead of treating the symptoms.
Each and every pair of socks is mated for life and wear-leveling is only a problem to the extent that I favor my dominant foot.
The clips have a high retention rate such that no more than one clip comes loose each wash cycle, which means it is obvious which socks made the failed escape attempt.
