They're wearing them upside down? Maybe they were released too early

Many are double sided for safety
They're on the wrong feet so it's not that
Even with that; the labels are from before they started double siding them they never changed the molds (I was told by a nurse at my stay).
Right foot: sock says L.
Back to the psych ward.
(Real for a second: the way we neglect the mentally ill in the USA is atrocious)
And I think they are labeled L and R, because I see an L on the right foot.
Some have the sizes denoted as letters on them. Mine had an S for Small. Others had Ms, Ls, and a few XLs.
I have four pairs of these and I never went to a psych ward. I got them from a hospital supply shop. They're actually great at keeping your feet warm.
I legit love hospital socks with the grippies. I tried buying some similar but they weren't quite the same.
You could probably walk into the ER and just ask the triage nurse if you could have some socks lol. Most medical staff love just giving shit away, at least in my area. Also, if you're not bothered by the questionable nature of second hand underwear, I've seen tons of grippy socks in thrift stores so that may be worth a look
for real though, i like walking around barefoot but the climate here's such that i only get to do that 3 months out of the year.
the other nine months i walk around indoors and the little bumpy bits help me feel like i'm walking on actual dirt/rock instead of boring floorboards.
Mine were yellow 💛
Where buy crazy socks
There are a lot of options if you Google psych ward socks
Those trampoline park businesses!
I got some of those last week but they were yellow and I don't like yellow so I threw them away before I left the hospital
Grippy side up pushes it to batshit levels of crazy.
