worth every penny

29 Oct 2006

when was the last time you spent 10 bucks for 6 pairs of socks, let alone 1 pair. $10 socks? what the hell am i thinking! you know i would never suggest you pay more just to pay more. but sometimes paying more gets you something extra worth paying for. and that, my friends, is the 10 dollar socks.

a long time ago wigwam started a brand of high end athletic socks called ultimax. the entire sock was different from anything you’ve slipped on before. there was no seam on the toe to give you blisters. there was a stretchy bit under the arch of your foot that kept the sock from bunching, and instead of cotton, the socks were made of light wool and spandex.  those socks were CRAZY expensive.

but now you can get the same sock from wigwam for 10 bucks. and it’s dark grey. and unless you’re wearing black pants and black shoes, grey is a good color for socks. (ok there’s a few other exceptions, but gimme a break!) these will keep your feet warm and comfortable inside whatever shoes or boots you decide on for the winter.

buy from fresh pair

    totally addicted to the wigwam thick-thick white sport socks, got many a pair and swear by ‘em… they’re the absolute in white socks.
    and call me a perv, but i think they’re mighty sexy.
