It is hard to say without a good history & exam by Dr but if the socks are the same size it could mean that your right calf muscle is smaller than left & there are multiple possible causes of that. Best to have Dr check/measure/examine

There is one possible answer that could explain losing a sock and 1 foot only. That being said the foot that was the sock could function in a totally different way for example either abducting or abducting or twisting the foot inside the shoe can cause this. Whatever the case may be I am not aware of anyone ever being treating for it
