My junior high school gym teacher (that's what they were called back then, not physical education instructors, like today) told us pretty much the same thing. Never colored socks for gym class. If you get a blister, the dye could cause blood poisoning. Also, always wear two pairs of socks, to prevent blisters. Forty-five years later and I'm still following Mr. Dimico's sage advice.
