shades of green…
Oh, what to say about the Feelmax Over the Knee Toesocks! Let’s start with looks…first off, STRIPES!!!! :D Secondly, their colors are gorgeous, from the muted shades in this olive and khaki pair, to the whimsical six tones of the colored toes choice, to the bold candy-corn flair of the yellow and oranges, my first pair of these, that got me hooked!
They reach just past my knees and stay there pretty well, thanks in part to the very slight ribbing around the arches of the feet, which keep them in place in shoes better than other toesocks. They also may provide a very slight massage-y feeling, but that depends on the person. :) I’m very picky about cushiness and seams, and these get As on both, for the having of the former and lack of the latter.
Yes, cushy they are, comfy in and out of shoes, and the tubesock style keeps them able to fit a wide size range! They don’t fall off of my little pinky-toes and they don’t squeeze my big toes, either. They’re nicely stretchy and breathable, and would probably even scrunch well if you’d like…I haven’t tried it though, ‘cuz who would want to scrunch such pretty stripes???
Just a note; I found the “khaki” color to be a little more green-toned, less tan, which was a relief to me. as I prefer the two shades of green to my imagined “khaki.” :)

yup, when I was first starting out someone asked me if I was going to do toesocks and I was like Pshh, as if! kind of like how I felt about bringing in stripes & tights, I just had some left over childhood thing about them I guess, but these are really comfy and oh-so-nice to look at ~:)

haha! :) thanks! yep, that’s a pic on my porch…when spring had just sprung, niqkita did a post with the lovely greens of mildew and moss up in portland. i’d done this set of shots as a complementary post, but then the socks went out of stock, so I had to wait until they came back. :) yeah, my little gargoyle buddy’s a cutie…i LOVE gargoyles…such a great history to them. oh, and i just noticed, if you guys look in the bottom right corner of that pillow pic, frank managed to get his little nose in it. :D
