Niqkita's Sock Journal

As I write this I am wearing my new pair of EG Smith bootsocks…
they are a perfect purple unlike the grapey version of bootsocks past.
They come in 7 other colors and I am getting the pictures all taken this week (four down, four to go). They should be live by this weekend and ready for you to buy.

We are also working out the final details before we give access to a select few of you for beta testing the new site! yes, we truly are almost there!!!
More info to come…

So far today is much like any other Sunday…

I’m editing images shot earlier in the week and will soon head over to our warehouse to help pull the first batch of orders for the day. Our store on Powell will open at 11 am just like it has nearly every day since April 1st 2008.
But today, unlike other days, when the last of the shoppers have left the building we’ll gather up all the socks & pretty things and our neighbors at the All American Moving Co will transport all of our shop furniture & boxes of socks over to Sellwood and into our new shop location.

When I don’t want my toes bare my favorites continue to be Toe Toes…
These are the Toe Toe Sports Golfers, also labeled for tennis, they are awesome for all your toe sock needs, they look really nice, like a crochet sock. They are actually more of a technical sock, designed for comfort and keeping your feet cool & dry. They only come in natural, and although I have yet to dye a pair I’m pretty sure they would take dye well due to their high cotton content. I think I’ll have to try that soon, I wish we could get a longer version too (thigh high? swoon!). Yes, these are a little more expensive at $24, a good investment for your feet is a better way to think of them.
My pair above has been worn and washed over and over for over a year and still look & feel great! I wore them yesterday when the weather was a little less than ideal for bare toes. Another great option are the Toe Toe Walkers for only $16, not as ideal for warmer days but damn comfy! Both come in three sizes for a perfect fit.
Ah, happy toes!!!
