I also have socks with side indicators. They’re designed to fit the feet, so the entire socks are asymmetrical. Theoretically you could go by the pattern, but when you’re pulling socks out of a hamper it’s a lot easier to match them via letters which you know are always at the ends. It’s pretty convenient and makes it impossible to match them incorrectly, so I think it’s a good design choice.
I have 1 pair with similar indicators. The end of socks is not symmetrical, they are in a shape of foot to get a perfect fit and if you wear them the other way around they are not as comfortable. Good pair, I like them.
Ok, but why do they even need side indicators? I thought socks could go on either foot.

They are not. they are just mirror symmetrical

With these socks the big toe area is longer than the pinky toe area. That, I’ve worn them backwards and haven’t noticed.
Not something I intended to buy when I bought socks online, but it was how they came.
The fact that you have worn them on the wrong foot and not noticed is the real mildly infuriating part.
There’s something written on the toes, maybe it’s a story!
