The sight of my own dear husband darning his socks this morning prompted me to take action… by asking MetaFilter for advice. Are there any socks he can’t put a hole in?

An old friend of mine whose husband has an aversion to toenail-cutting recommends “Indestructible” socks. Admittedly that’s a brand name rather than a description, but might it be worth following up?
How long does it take for him to put holes in them? I just make sure to sneak into Clinton’s sock drawer and throw out the old ones and buy him new ones. I’m generally a really quite lovely laid back kind of girlfriend, but holes in socks squick me so terribly! I should also note that he does everything else himself, he cooks, cleans, washes his clothes, so I don’t feel too bad about being a combination of a control freak and a doting mother figure over this aspect of his life.
