Wool Socks

[debka_notion]

An actual dull report of weekend activities and my thoughts thereon will, I'm sure, happen tomorrow or Monday, but in the meantime- wool socks are wonderful. They're warm, And you can get your feet wet in them and not freeze your feet off. I walked into a slush-puddle this evening walking home from nuqotw's after shabbos, and my foot didn't freeze, or even go numb. This is proof, for me at least, that wool socks really are worthwhile. In some cases, very, very worthwhile. From now on, whenever I can get them for reasonable prices, I probably ought to.

Have you had SmartWool socks at all? They're like twelve dollars a pair, but man are they ever worth it. And soft.

I was just going to post about smart wool! It is amazing!

I do have a pair I think- in any case, I have a pair of really comfortable wool socks that are generally exciting and very warm. (I also have a pair of plain wool socks, which are the ones I was praising last night.) Very worth it.

Ah, if only.
Wool seems so decadent and so warm and natural.
Alas, I am allergic. And warm itchy feet are still itchy feet.
Fleece and cotton it is for me, I'm afraid.
:o)

Poor <lj user="gimmelgirl". Naughty allergies.

You know what's cool? Put on a pair of wool socks and a pair of foot-hugging sneakers over them, then go walk around in the rain, and then refuse to take the sneakers off for even a second for about two to three days. Then take the sneakers and socks off and leave them out indoors somewhere while you go take a warm bath.

Mmm, yes. Now that I live in a cold, snowy place where they like to salt everything (think huge salty puddles, not just slush), I've started wearing almost exclusively Thorlo Light Trekking Level 3 socks (wool blend). It's so wonderful to have comfortable feet, in contrast to last year when I always had cold soggy cotton socks.
