New favorite socks

I've been wearing digital (toe) socks for a few years now, and I love them. I had only ever tried cotton/polyester socks that relatives and friends gift to me, but I wanted to go for something more personal. Black and grey just doesn't always do it for me. I searched for well-rated toe socks online and found Creepers. After working up the courage, I ordered three pairs in olive. I wish I had a dozen more now. The wool is soft, of course, and I feel better knowing it is a natural fiber instead of something synthetic. However, what I really love about these socks is the way they hold up while wearing them. My other socks grip my lower calves too tightly and fatigue my hair follicles. If you're a gentleman with leg hair, you'll know that I mean. My Creepers have no such issue. They hold on enough to stay up all day and don't stress my leg hairs. It's a strange thing to point out, but it matters when they're on your feet all day! These socks have been well worth the price months later, and I will be investing in more Creepers should I decide to expand my sock drawer roster. Get a couple pairs and take care of them!

Soft, comfortable fibre, fine against the skin, with no wool itch at all. Impressively non-smelly, even after wearing three days in a row (in winter) due to disorganisation. They fit perfectly around the toes and have no seams or irritating bits. They dry fast compared to most other fibres. They're slippery on smooth floors, just to note. Very good socks indeed. Only two things I might change: 1) The boot-length socks are a little tight on the calves. A looser-top version would be great for some people. (I also bought the ankle-length and those fit entirely comfortably.) 2) The brand name is big and obvious and catches the eye all the time and decreases my desire to wear them slightly, because I see it every time I look down, and feel as though it will look silly to other people. A plain/unbranded version of these excellently-made and -shaped socks would be perfect!

Only socks for long runs!

These are the only choice for me for anything double digits! First 50 miler in the rain with zero blisters cemented that for me, with lots of other runs. Never thought I’d be a toe sock guy but the results speak for themselves!
