I stumbled on a fellow selling these at a table at the La Jolla CA farmer’s market. He was there for a wedding and had stuffed them in his suitcase just in case. I was a bit short on socks for my own stay in So Cal and although they were pricy, I went for them. They are the best socks I ever wore. Cushy, comfy, without much bulk, breathe well so my feet don’t get hot. Love them!

Best Socks I own
I am in work boots all day and cotton socks get damp and itchy very fast. Footy socks wick away water so much better than traditional socks, it is the only pair I wear now.

Great for running and everything else
Unlike many socks they have a very thin seam and slso the material and fitting is perfect with no risk to cause blisters or uncomfort during long my runs. Also great for any other purpose. Glad I tried them out and just ordered a bunch more. Keep going!
