Wall to Wall Carpeting
We had those hard, speckled floor tiles in the house I grew up in. As an adult I have always wanted to have plush, thick wall to wall carpeting to erase those childhood memories of uncomfortable toes on hard dusty floors. Unfortunately the kind of thick plush carpeting I desire is out of my financial reach for now, so I have satisfied myself with a less expensive alternative… Slippers, lots of them. I have told my friends that slippers are my wall to wall carpeting… for everywhere I step it there is plush thick softness.
Now I have another alternative to slippers (one I can wear out with me into the world)… Imagine that… wall to wall carpeting where ever I walk inside or out. Couldn’t get anybetter even if rose petals where thrown at my feet.
These may very well be the CUSHIEST socks I have ever owned! These Thick & Bulky Boot Socks (my own personal wall to wall carpeting) are a beautiful soft baby pink with gray and are so uber thick and cozy that you must try a pair to understand just how cushy they really are. They allowed me to finally wear my red Chucks (the sneakers were always a bit too big for me, but with these ‘cushy like shag carpeting’ socks they fit just fine).
On the downside, the socks didn’t perfectly fit my size 11’s (I really do like my toe wiggle room). Please note that the socks worn in these pics (shown with the argyle leg warmers) are the medium size. I also have a pair of the largest size in orange (the coolest color.. reminds me of orange creamsicles) which fit a bit better, but just still not up to a “perfect” fit… however, they were close to fitting, and still looked and felt great.
These Thick & Bulky Boot socks don’t quite make it to mid-calf on me, and I must admit that at first I found the difference between the thick thick sock and the thinner stretchy top portion a bit odd… but after a night of wearing them cutely scrunched It didn’t bother me at all. And now after wearing my Orange ones all around for days… I must admit I don’t find it so odd anymore.
I would totally recommend these to everyone with bare floors, big shoes… oh just anyone with feet really :O) I am sure these pretty and ‘oh so fluffy’ socks will become favorites. They really are amazing and fun to wear. Vel and I are going to enjoy our new wall to wall carpeting socks regardless of our big paws.

I’m so surprised the biggest size didn’t fit better! I haven’t had any complaints, but am wondering how the different sizes have been fitting everyone??? I find all three sizes to be wearable, but the middle size fits me just right ~:)
