This is the right sock, with the cable on the right side of the foot. The first sock had the cable on the left. I usually knit socks top-down with a heel flap, which is reinforced with slipped stitches. I'm wondering if the short row heel is as durable?"Hope you are having good success with your socks, we'd love to see your progress on our <a  href="https://blog.alpacadirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/126-150#146" >Ravelry thread</a> or on our <a  href="https://blog.alpacadirect.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/AlpacaDirect1" >Facebook page</a>
