Most definitely with shoes. What is surprising is that the seems
present no discomfort at all. I am not even aware of them.
The only issue is that unless I make them right and left footed, there
is always a bit of a bubble on the little toe side. But, I think they
will wear better if I randomly change from foot to foot.
Marilyn ,keeps reminding me that socks are a dollar a pair at Kmart
but this is between me and my sheep.

Good job! If you ever get the desire for a more traditional sock, but
in hours instead of days, take a look at these:

$750? *gulp* I think I will stick with trying to learn flat-bed
machine socks. Besides, they will accommodate my supersize calves better.
I knitted a pair of legwarmers with worsted weight yarn hoping to find
dimensions that would fit my leg nicely, and after a few tries I have
something that works well. Will have to hide clear elastic in the cuff
to accommodate swollen versus non-swollen legs, but it works, and now I
have dimensions to translate into whatever weight yarn I want, but I
think I am going to try wosted weight first.
