The problem with wearing business socks (or any socks) every day is that the constant rubbing eventually wears the hair off one's ankle area. While this is not a problem Monday through Friday, on weekends at the beach or elsewhere, these hairless look weird.

Short of having hair transplantation, does anybody know how to combat/prevent this dread affliction? I usually wear dark, calf-length Gold Toe socks, or a comparable English brand. Sandals or flipflops won't cut it in my profession, and going sockless is a definite no-no.
