Well couldn't it be connected further down say just befor the toes start? Then it would just look like colored toes on your toe socks. Color matching wouldn't matter at all. Say like green hose with black toes or black hose with red toes.
Only real other option would be getting some commisioned.
How thick can you make toesocks before they start being uncomfortable between your toes?

Ahhhhh! NOW I grok ya! Wasn't visualizing it properly before... Basically, you would be taking a pair of regular HALF-SOCKS and Frankensteining them with a pair of regular kilt hose..

By Joe I think he's got it! Grab a cheap pair of toe socks and those white kilt hose we all have stuck in the back of our sock drawer, a little thread and a darning needle and get to work.
I would make the transition as close to the toes as you can to make the color change look more intentional but thats just me being picky. really the toe sock tips are for your comforn not for the look. If you do it be sure and post pics.

<chortle> If anyone has something, it will probably be Sock Dreams. Select "toe socks" in their home page links.
Probably they will be rather thin, mostly cotton, and usually the sizing discussed is women's US sock sizes. But I see a pair of argyle knee-highs---how cool is that?

Haha! First place I went to check as well!
I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

I actually had more luck at ToeToe http://www.toesocks.co.uk/ It IS possible to get outdoor or trekking toe socks, which means they are a little thicker and taller too.
Still, this might actually be something I would be willing to commission custom, price being reasonable.
