This is Eliza, she’s ordered our socks for photo shoots in the past. Without knowing this we had admired pictures of her we saw online, so when I put two & two together awhile back and realized she was the same Eliza I was delighted. I am now proud to have an image of her in some of our striped thigh highs on our home page (this is the first change to the main page in months). Thank you to Dan Nash for allowing us to use his image and a very special thank you to Eliza for wearing our stripes so well!

One of our newest styles are these fishnet knee highs…
I had ordered them in both this “nude” and black, but the black didn’t arrive so I’ve reordered them. In the meantime I went ahead and added these to the fishnet page here. They fit nice and stay up well without being tight at the top, they seem like they will fit up to around 16 inches. They are nylon/lycra so they hold their shape well and didn’t bother my toes. I think they look best over another pair because they show up better, it could be anyhting from socks to tights, here it’s velvet otk’s (actually I’m starting to like calling them velvet stockings better, that’s a confusing word that really just means leg covering). Next I want to see how fishnets look over stripes…

I love my comfy mid cloudtreks, they softly hug your feet providing warmth while wicking away moisture. I’ve been wearing this pair since bedtime last night, all around the house all day, down to the basement and back on my many sockruns, then into my boots for a trip out for supplies. You can see how eagerly they pill around my heels from the boots (I find that handwashing minimizes it and shaving couldn’t hurt, the socks, not your legs). When I first took the boots off and walked across a tile floor I noticed little damp toeprints from the wicking action, sure enough my toes were dry & comfy!

K. Bell Knee highs

A sock for all seasons!

Charcoal is so hot and these little sweeties are surprisingly warm! Great with mary janes, pumps, or even tennis shoes (hey, keeping toes warm at home and then jaunting out for something at the store shouldn’t require a sock change!), the K. Bell ribbed OTK’s will keep your ankles fashionable, sexy, comfy and warm all at once!

I was so surprised after wearing these through a chilly work-night that they actually breathed and kept my toes toasty! Keep in mind, though, that although they were listed on the OTK socks page, they’re done so with a disclaimer. As you can see, if you’re over about 5′8″, they’ll probably be more like knee-highs on you! I thought they were adorable like this, AND their stay-up power is definitely a 10! Enough gushing, now buy some for your sweetie, yourself, whatever! ;)

Valentine’s Day is coming!!!

anklets with hearts & bows click to see go to their new page

so here it is Thursday and I seem to be further behind than ever. Orders are being filled and sent out within the day as always (because that is always our priority), I’ve been trying to keep up with emails when I can but the email world seems more troubled than ever with everyone’s anti-spam-filters and who knows what else monitoring & redirecting letters based on ever changing criteria to protect us all.
We’re out of several things (we are always going to be out of things, most annoying to me this week is the lack of black & orange thigh highs because I really thought they’d be here by now & delayed removing them from the page, now we have three back orders & I hate having back orders). Happily we have several things that are back or new BUT my editing program is crashing alot when I try to add or remove links so I’ll just show off a few of the latest shots and put some purchase links here til I get those pages updated…
Why I don’t like sheer: every vein, freckle, bruise & hair will show, plus they snag & run like crazy, that being said these are gorgeous!

they come in black too…

and both come in queen size!
They stayed up for moderate walking around the house but I’d wear garters or a garter belt if I really wanted them to stay up. We have one size fits most (90~160 lbs) in white & black for $7/pair
and plus sized (1X~3X) in white or black for $8/pair….

A toesock love story from one of our longtime regulars…

Hello Niqkita.
I want to share this story with you. I received all four pairs of these toesocks last Friday. I recently visited my girlfriend named Heather in the very far northeast. She invited me to her house. We had dinner there and we laid on her bed. When I took my shoes off, she noticed my dungaree knee toe socks, and she loved them a lot. Heather also took her shoes off and wore black knee toe socks. We had a lot of fun and we laughed together. We even touched and rubbed each other’s feet. It was a night We’ll never forget.
T. Y. for the toesocks.

In the picture he is wearing the mudbath all there toesocks and reminded me that they now carry several new colors (stripes!) that we don’t have (I know, try as I might, we can never have all of everything, but I do want more of those!!!)
