The Socks Drawer Blog

Grip socks are becoming more and more popular.  They were non-existant when I was a kid. Now, I see them everywhere.

These are super practical socks.  If you aren’t wearing a shoe, and you don’t want to slip and fall, grip socks are what you need!  Grip socks are just like any other sock you’ve ever worn, only with rubber grips on the bottom.  They are great for around the house.  You will often find slipper socks that also have the grips on them.

Grip socks are great for small children learning to walk.  Shoes, are sometimes too cumbersome, but they need something on their feet, so grip socks are the answer. Dancer’s also you grip socks for the traction they need.  Grip socks are also a fantastic solution for those doing yoga and pilates and other exercise classes.

You can get a variety of types of grip socks.  Any type of socks with many different quantities of grips.  These are practical and often necessary.  A needed sock, somewhat unique for your sock drawer!

Many little girls dream of being a ballerina! They dance around their home and pretend to be a ballerina! Ballerina’s are such a picture of beauty and gracefulness! It depicts much of what a little girl desires to be!

So of course little girls LOVE to have things that depict this image on them.

Ballerina socks are a great way to do that! I have seen all kinds of ballerina socks. From socks that actually look like ballerina slippers, to socks that have pictures of ballerina’s or ballerina slippers!

These come in all different styles and colors, however pink is probably the favorite and the most common.

Ballerina socks are a great way to add some whimsy and delight to your little girls wardrobe!

Handmade socks are some what of a rare commodity these days. What was at one time, the only option, is now a treasure and an art form.

Handmade socks have all the functionality of mass produced socks.  They are often quite comfortable,  sometimes even more comfortable than other socks.  Handmade socks come in a wide variety of yarns types (fabrics), styles, colors and functions.

I have seen handmade toe socks, pedicure socks, slipper socks, baby socks, work socks, hiking socks, everyday socks and comfy cozy around the house socks!  Handmade socks can be made to meet your specific feet and your specific needs or requirements.  They can be made uniquely for you!

I love the idea of handmade socks.  I think of someone making a pair of socks for someone and what an act of love that would be!  I think about buying a pair of handmade socks and what a great way that would be to support a small business or artist. I love handmade socks, for their practicality as well as the way they allow me another opportunity to add art and fashion into my wardrobe!

If you are interested in purchasing handmade socks, I would check with your local fabric or yarn store.  I would also ask around at the farmers market.  You could check craiglist and I know that etsy.com has several people who sell handmade socks locally!  What a great way to not only find unique socks, but to also support arts and crafts and the people who are gifted in those things!

I grew up in Canada where you don’t wear your shoes in your house. It is actually considered rude. So people wear slippers. Some people bring their own and some people provide slippers for their guests. So slippers are a staple.

Slipper socks are awesome. Warm, cozy, comfortable with the utility of a slipper/shoe. There are a variety of types of slipper socks. One of my favorite pairs of slipper socks were a multi colored pair of socks in a mary jane style with a button strap and grips on the bottom.

I have also had the super fuzzy warm slipper socks, that are exactly like a sock, just warmer with the grips on the bottom. Something like this.

There are also beautiful handmade, and hand made looking slippers, in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Some of the most durable are the slipper socks that have seen are a sturdy sock with the entire bottom constructed of leather. Comfortable and sturdy. Here is an example of some cotton and leather slippers.

Another big trend right now are slipper sock boots. Very hip right now as well as functional. As with all socks, slipper socks come in every shade of color, fabric, design and style! So you can find your own unique pair of slipper socks. Get ready for that cooler weather with a great pair slipper socks!
