The Blind Men With the Socks

There was a man who went to the mall where he bought 3 pairs of red socks and 3 pairs of white socks.Another man who had already bought 3 pairs of red socks and 3 pairs of white socks came back to return his 6 pairs. They were both blind.

As they were walking, they bumped into each other. All the socks scattered around the floor, but each pair remained held together by a rubber band. Nobody helped them pick the socks up, but in 3 minutes they both had 3 pairs of red, and 3 pairs of white.

How is that possible if they are blind?

Spoiler

Each man took half the socks and pulled them apart. They would then give the other man 1 sock. They kept doing this until they had all their socks.
