What’s in the Socks Drawer?
Posted in Hiking Socks, Wool Socks | No Comments »
If you’re like me, and you live in a non-tropical climate zone, one of the first decisions you make in a day is which socks to wear. Will I wear my athletic socks to go exercise in, or will I wear my patterned socks to coordinate with my outfit, or will I wear my comfortable everyday wool socks? For any number of daily activities we take part in, we frequently make decisions about socks, sometimes multiple times a day. Have you ever taken the time to look through your socks and categorize them? Here are mine:
comfortable everyday Smartwool socks
cotton/spandex exercise socks
colored/patterned cotton socks for coordinating
fleece socks for cold nights
knee high socks for boots
wool crew socks for hiking
cotton/nylon socks for dress pants
nylon stockings for the rare dressy occasion
Many people have twice as many categories. Now, there’s a category we all have in our socks drawer that we must admit to. We all have the socks rejects at the bottom: the ones we’ve never worn because they’re the wrong color or don’t fit, the ones that have worn out or stretched out, and the better-save-them-just-in-case socks. Makes one wonder, how much money have you wasted on those socks of poor quality or poor fit?
So, I’m on a quest to find the best socks on the market, socks that will fit comfortably, perform well, last a long time and suit a variety of wardrobe styles. I believe that when you have comfortable feet, you’re ready to move, you’re less irritated, and generally happier. So, I believe that it’s a worthy quest, and look forward to sharing my discoveries with you. Stay tuned!
