My feelings are mixed ! I thought it was brilliant and definitely something I've not read before, the socks !
speaking of your gratitude at the end was quiet shocking and powerful, like you appreciate whatever whoever stood in between! as if a wake up call has hit you hard.

And to label the shoe to the character speaking in this poem, gives me the thought of being controlled and manipulated or driven by the desire of the 2nd person.
Brilliant, and weird!

As for the socks person, I have different emotions toward them, whether to see them as a victim too or not..

Epic ! :)
