Lost Sock Memorial Day

niqkita — Fri, 08 May 2009 20:03:40 +0000

We’re celebrating again this year by offering you 20% off towards restocking your sock stash. All you have to do is type lost socks 2009 in the promo code box during check out (be sure you click on adjust or it won’t work). This deal only lasts through the weekend so tell all your friends before it’s too late! (because, you know, we’re not going to send you two or three emails to remind you~;)

Another great way to celebrate: we are reintroducing Throx!

We first saw them in 2003 and later suggested them as the perfect stocking stuffer for the holidays. …yes, I know, the journal is a bit of a mess back there,
it is being worked on, more about that another day…
We’ve got several new styles in now…
a couple are on our site, a couple more are being added this weekend

and bunches more are only in the store (for now).
There are due to be even more in coming months, including thigh highs(!!!)

New Organics 2 & 3

niqkita — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 15:58:02 +0000

With these we see the biggest fault I’ve found in the new organics, they run a bit small. The quarter crew above looks like a child’s sock all wrapped in its 100% recycled package. Surely they must stretch a lot I thought as I unwrapped them. Sure enough they stretched right onto my size 8.5 feet & sure enough it wasn’t long til they were half-way off my feet. I think they’ll be great for petite feet, kids maybe? And then there were these:

Meant to be a men’s sock, they fit so well and looked so great I could barely hand them over to be tested by my fav men’s sock tester. They did fit him, just not as well as they fit me and I’ve yet to take pictures of them on him so I’ve not yet added them to the men’s section. For some reason people are sometimes weird about buying socks for men that are shown on a woman. These are an ultimate boyfriends sock if ever there was one! They have a terry looping on the insides of the feet and I feared that would make my Mary Jane’s too snug, but the gentle padding actually made them more comfortable, now I just need to prove that men can actually wear them too ~;)
