Toasty Tuesday toes
These are the Sol Socks midweight fleece tabis.
There is also a lightweight that comes in a few different colors, hopefully I’ll be able to add them in tonight.
But having tried all three these midweights are my favorites, they are half again thicker than the lightweight version (the midcalf is lightweight). The fit is really nice, both the small & medium fit my 8.5ish feet, but I think I prefer the mediums. I’m going to wash some tonight and see about shrinkage and fluff. The lightweights especially look like they could use a washing to fluff them up. Not only do these make it possible to wear flip flops in cold weather but I find they make a great slipper too! no, they don’t have anything grippy or water resistant on their soles, but they are so thick that they will actually stand up on their own (check out the second image on their page).
Okay, time to head out the door & go to work…

Once again… You’ve done it to me. I never had a desire to own a pair of Tabi socks… I really am not a flip flop wearer. You almost had me with the lacey tabis a while back (but I think the sizing or something was not quite right for my larger paws). But these… I don’t know what it is.. Maybe it’s that they remind me of cute little pot holders (like the kitchen mitten ones) but for you feet… maybe it’s that they look so thick and cushy that your feet look really cute and a little puppet like in them… I’m not sure what it is… But I am sure that I WANT A PAIR :O)

Oooh, I want those too! They look so soft and cozy! Hmmm…now I’ll just have to figure out which color I want! I wear Flip Flops year round so these are PERFECT! ;)

I like this pic too :o) The more I look at them… the more I can’t wait to get toes in them, they just look sooo uber comfy.

oh my! those are just lovely. now i must order some of these as well. i love that they can stand up on their own. the tabis i make myself can do the same but they’re not made of fleece. by the way, what is the fiber content of these fleece tabi socks? i don’t see it listed on either page…
