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!
