Mousse in boots
I had been tempted by the tasty Biella socks for long enough one long day recently when I decided I needed a special treat for my feet. I know, you’d think I’d already have one of each wouldn’t you? but sometimes I think I should not keep any for myself, I mean, having one of everything is just not realistic for someone in my position, can you imagine how many dressers & boxes & hanging thingies I’d need?
I am oh-so-in-love with the niegos, but the Lani Mousse Cuff Boot Socks seemed the more practical choice so I’ll continue to drool over the niegos for now (more colors of those are on order besides the ones we are currently out of, someone in Alaska really loves those and keeps buying them all~:)
These are a delicious blend of “extra fine” merino wool, cashmere and angora with a dash of this and a pinch of that for added stretch & stability. They have terry looping around the feet and I really did notice a comfortable dryness to my feet despite the cozy effect of the wool and the cuffs, yes, the MOUSSE cuffs, light and airy yet warm and comfy! These are the grey, even though the cuff is more of a dusty rose. This is nearly confusing because the “caviar” have a grey cuff, but the feet are black, not to worry though, the label on the back tells us which is which just in case we are ever unsure. One of the many things I love about Biella socks, besides their amazing quality and beautiful colors is that they are made in the USA by happy healthy Americans making a decent working wage in safe conditions. Just last Sunday I met with our Biella rep to see the fall line, it’s as impressive as I’ve come to expect and I have ordered in a bootload of yummy choices due to arrive over a few months at the end of summer. Did I miss anything? probably, if you think of anything just leave a comment and if you’ve tried these definitely leave a comment and let us all know what you think of them!

The Biellas are just sooo nice! another thing I love about them is they have a nice fast turn around time from when I put in my orders AND I was told this week when I had a sudden need for more of the niegos that even if they are out of a color they will make it to fill my orders! such great service from a company I was a bit scared to work with for so long…
