Niqkita's Sock Journal

I will never tire of my royal blue bootsocks
on chilly mornings they are as yummie as hot coffee or tea
on warm afternoons they breathe & stay comfy
on breezy evenings they are warm & reassuring
they’re even great in bed
…for sleeping in, I mean:)

socks: a low risk investment

Hi Niq!
I received my latest order today, and once again I am squeeeling with delight. The burgundy stripes are really amazing. The color is absolutely delicious! It is a really rich, warm and vibrant burgundy. I would almost call it raspberry. I can’t wait until the next not-so-humid day to wear them.
The mini fishnet anklets exceed my expectations. I was a little hesitant to buy them because you said they don’t stretch far above the ankle. I pulled them up higher, but I didn’t wear them long, so I bet they will inch down if I wear them all day. I think they are so cool. I wanted to find some cool socks to wear with my mary janes and long pants to work. I always see old ladies wearing ankle pantyhose or knee-highs. I think it is a good idea to appropriately cover feet while in a professional environment, but sticky-icky pantyhose?? These fishnets are much better, 100% comfortable and not toe squishing while still looking professional.
The fuzzy socks are amazing. The texture is just heavenly, like soft baby duckling down. Both the inside and outside has this lovely texture, so the wearer can share the cuddly fuzziness with his or her foot worshiper. Heehee! The socks are also very cool and breathable. It is just awful hot at this time of the year, and my feet are still at a comfortable temperature in these socks. I think I might have to buy more fuzzy socks. I bet the leg warmers would make really great arm warmers!
Thanks Kxxx!!!
I feel truly blessed to have such wonderful people wearing our socks & sharing their joy!
…you might’ve noticed that although I usually use green to distinguish the words of others from my own I used pink today. That’s because I also use green for links and I thought it best to switch. The one problem with pink is that if it’s a man I’m quoting it may not be appropriate, perhaps I should use white?

Green, another color that can be tricky to display…
Above are the green & black cotton stripes which stay up really well.
Below are the new green & black nylon stripes which are actually darker & less shiney than they appear here and go up (and stay up) nice & high like the other new nylon stripes.
We’re almost out of the half socks so I ordered more plus some new stuff: trouser socks with leopard spots, bricks & camouflage and rainbow leg warmers (should arrive next week) also some new cable knit leg warmers & rainbow toesocks that are back ordered (due in October).
I hope you aren’t getting as many viruses sent to you today as I am…
Fortunately my anti virus protection is deleting them all immediately, I keep running scans to make sure though. The worst part is that these viruses have a way of hijacking people’s email addresses, usually it’s businesses (like ours) that get used, they then send the virus to other people using my address as the “sender” even though my system is clean and these messages are not originating from my system. The reason I know this is happening is that I have had several responses from blocked viruses today. Again, I want to stress that I am not sending viruses out & am actively protecting my system. Also, I never send messages with attachments unless requested so please be careful what you open, even if it’s from a name you trust.

as much as I hate to post another picture of something we don’t actually sell here, these are what I’m wearing today & I don’t have anything more interesting to feature, so here they are, the toesocks that changed my mind about toesocks. I’m wearing them because they were the handiest pair last night when I put lotion on (I try to keep clean socks within easy reach where I might need them). The toesocks we sell now are actually better than these, especially the all there toesocks because they hug each toe perfectly (even my tiny little curled pinky toes). The other toesocks we sell are wonderful & comfy too, some of them are even fuzzy, but the black & white striped ones we just got came from a “bad batch”, they formed holes at the beginning of each stripe after some wearing & washing (the red & white stripes seem to be okay though). Luckily we’d only sold one pair and it was returned this weekend so I was able to send them all back this morning. Better luck next time. At least it was a US supplier so returning them was easy.

I’ve been eyeing this book for months & finally let myself get it last week. Nice little book with information about how feet are designed, what ails them, how to care for them and how to dress them nicely. It’s also got fun foot pictures and yummy recipes for foot baths. Powell’s books now has a virtual bookshelf system for their “partners” (like us), I just finished setting ours up here: virtual bookshelf. I only get 30 titles, and don’t get to add my own comments, but they maintain the pricing & availability. We personally own some of the books I listed, I’d love to have some of those we don’t, and some I’ve never even seen but was intrigued by. As I’ve mentioned before, there aren’t many sock books, but there sure are alot of shoe books! I could’ve put more, but I wanted to share some foot care & fetish books as well. After I read this book I got my feet nice & clean, slathered on some lotion, then covered them up in my elephant toesocks.

Ozone’s Healing Radionic Socks
Radionics is a universally accepted term for an alternative technology used to cure or prevent disease. The Radionic on this sock was devised by Duncan Laurie from Alternative technology that has been in use for over 100 years.
Ozone makes no medical claim in connection with the Healing Radionic Socks.
Neither do we….
Last holiday season Laurie at Ozone sent me a pair of these to sample. They’re pretty cool looking, my friends & family raved that they were among the coolest socks they’d seen, but I wasn’t so impressed when they didn’t withstand machine washings. A few weeks ago I got a serious request for them so I brought in a minimum order and now have 2 of the red & black and 3 of the black & white left. At this point I still don’t plan to carry these so I’m not adding them to the site, but if you’d like a pair I’d be happy to sell them to you for $15 red & black or black & white
(I know, they’re costly, another reason I don’t want to carry them).
…and I still don’t recommend machine washing these.

Pink & white, fishnets & more…

Last week when I ordered in more of the new striped thigh highs they offered me some other new items…
pink & white fishnets, pink & white opaque thigh highs & anklets with pink bows, without seeing them I went for it knowing that we’ve been happy with their other items. Just like the new vertical striped fishnets (from a different supplier) the white fishnets did not stay up on their own. This time I chose elastic sock garters to help keep them up. They have so much lace at the top that if you put them on inside out you can fold the top right over the elastic so that you still see the pretty shiney side (they easily stretched all the way up my thighs, even folded over). The opaque thigh highs are exactly the same, just with opaque white nylon instead of fishnet. The anklets label has a misprint that says knee highs, but they are indeed an anklet, white nylon that you can just barely see through, the pink satin bows have little white polka dots.
For now they are only available on the newest items page…

Fishnet combos…

niq, i appreciate the opportunity to exhibited my legs in your socks at your site there are a bunch and im not sure what you want to use, in the pictures is zeus and suki (in addition to my legs)
i do love the red otk socks under the fishnets, sometimes i even add another layer *lace & bows, usually red and black. the otk socks stay up pretty well under the fishnets -unless im running around trying to set up pictures with two crazy dogs as props i hope you enjoy
Txxxxxx

New fishnets…

Since I wasn’t able to get vertical striped socks I got the next best thing, vertical striped thigh highs! These are fishnets, we also have them in nylon with sheer striping in between the black stripes, sooo sexy!
I haven’t tried the sheer stripes, but the supplier has such a nice image I’ll just use it for now. I did wear the fishnet stripes today, they went on nicely & are comfortable, but I’m afraid they didn’t stay up (maybe it’s just my scrawny thighs, I am near the bottom of their “one size” scale).
I added my vinyl garter belt and they stayed up fine for the rest of the day. I even updated the thigh highs & fishnet pages to include them.
So many new styles to get added in this week…
