If you get new socks, try out chlorination
Chlorinated latex is great for casual wear because you don't need dressing aid, but it feels and smells different than unchlorinated latex and if you want it shiny, you still need to apply silicone oil on the outside (although the dull surface can look great, too).
Matchmaking seems to be broken for me :/
Edit: just after writing this, I could join (after ~15 min of waiting) :D
