During the summer months, my feet are free and I typically am wearing shoes that show off my polished toe nails. Still, I am always on the look out for cute, comfortable and practical socks. When I was teaching, I used to wear different fun socks each day. My students would look to see what was on my feet each day. Would they see a funky argyle socks, snowmen, pumpkins or my Chanukah collection each December?

When I was given the opportunity through Family Review Network to review some socks from Socks4Life, I immediately said yes. As a sort of sock snob, I figured I was perfect for this. I am very particular about socks and like them to be comfortable, high quality and fit with specific shoes that I have.

What I thought:

I received the following three packages of socks:

• American Made Women’s Pink Heel and Toe Quarter Socks
• Excel Women’s Soft Socks
• Taga Women’s Argyle Dress Socks

The pink heel and toe quarter socks really surprised me. They were extremely comfortable thanks to some cushioning in them. I wore a pair with sneakers to the fair on Saturday. We did a lot of walking while there and my feet never hurt. Usually, after a while with my traditional socks, they are rubbing wrong or tired. The cushion in the socks really gave my older sneakers new life.

I wore the argyle socks to a business meeting the other day. They are a thinner material that is perfect thickness for use with a nice shoe. My only concern with the socks was that they were snug on my size 8 to 8 1/2 foot. The socks say that they are for shoe sizes 9-11. I will likely wash these in a delicate cycle with cold water to make sure that they do not shrink since I fear they may not work if they get any smaller. Overall, I really liked the argyles because they were funky, fun and still sophisticated enough to wear for business.

The soft socks are just what the name promises – soft! They were warm, snuggly and super soft. I think these will get a lot of use when the cooler autumn and winter months are here. I think I am also going to put a pair in my bag when I go to my parents house. With their central air, I often want a pair of socks to keep my toes warm. These would do the job quite nicely.
