As professional sock dreamers we get a lot of special requests and a fair amount of people write us with brilliant sock ideas they’d like to see come true.
Many months ago I got such a letter from a nice young man named Ken who showed me what I thought was a pretty smart idea with a back to school theme. I asked him to let me know when they were in production and ready to order…

In the nearly seven years that I’ve been doing this journal thing I have gone from doing it painstakingly via my old web building software & html in a special section right on the site when I started up the Socks of the Day in July 2002…

Dan has been working on the check out, something about the way the discount codes add up isn’t quite adding up but should be soon. Olivia is starting her long-planned vacation since this ran over a couple more weeks and when she gets back we should be ready to start the big testing!!!
As soon as I know more I’ll be sharing it here so that we can employ the help of you, our web-savvy, sock-loving followers, of course we’ll be offering a little something extra for all your hard work so stay tuned…

This is India, she is leaving us for Las Vegas later this week to be with the one she loves. The Simply adjustable Sock Garters shown on her in the previous post were her idea, we had a damaged pair of the traditionals in our unsellable returns box and her socks weren’t staying up. She not only solved her own problem but she solved one we’ve had for ages because our ability to get the buttoned garters has been sporadic at best and these are even simpler, no buttoning required (and you could still adorn them if you wanted). She will be greatly missed by all of us for her hard work, creativity and great taste in leg wear. The boots? I found those at a little boutique in Seattle called Diva Dollz, the brand is Miz Mooz, don’t know the model name though.

As the days get warmer our desire to set our toes free increases.
Of course you can wear toe socks & tabis any time of the year with nearly any kind of shoe but they really shine when it’s time to put on your flip flops and sandals. I rarely wear them with bare feet, not only are my toes shy, I just really don’t like how dirty my feet get from a day of walking around like that.
To celebrate spring we’ve added a few new tabi socks with at least a few more on their way. The K.Bell peace signs above (and the cherry blossoms and stripes) have been staying on my feet very well during our long walks to the park and back with Lola.
If the thought of having your toes all separated is a bit much these are a nice alternative since they just separate your big toe which is perfect for flip flops.

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’ll be there with plenty of socks and such including some new stuff that isn’t on our site yet along with some of our favorite items. Everything will have a Neo-victorian/Steampunk flair. This should be really fun!

After many months of hard work we are quite close to beta testing the new site.
Within a few weeks I’ll be inviting you to help us make sure everything works as it should. Once we get the bugs worked out and the basic version of the new site launched we’ll start adding all the fun stuff like logins, wishlists and reviews…
to name a few.
I can hardly wait!!!

Maybe your sock needs are a little more complicated…
you run, hike or take nice long walks with your dog.
We thought long and hard before bringing in a “sport sock”.
Afterall, we’re sock sellers, not athletes, though some of us are more athletic than others I personally am about as non-athletic as a girl can be…
I do take nice long walks and occasionally run with Lola for a few minutes, nothing too challenging or requiring specially designed footwear.
