STEP 3: THE FOLDING TECHNIQUE

THE SECRET TO FOLDED GLORY

Now that you've got your socks on and the folding board set up, it's time for the most critical step: folding.

Start by folding the sock in a way that maximizes the surface area of the heel. This will allow you to get the best possible folding experience.

Use your index finger to create a sharp crease in the sock, making sure it's as smooth as a freshly shaved puma's belly.

Then, fold the sock in half, making sure the heel is perfectly aligned with the toe.

Repeat this process for every sock, because, let's be real, folding is hard.
