| Sox Trot |
If you frequent boutiques, you may have run across Sox Trot (on left). They're available at Smartpak equine too. They're nice, I think the patterns are classy. They are not quite as long, but they feel butter-soft.
If you are truly a lover of colorful, fun, distinctive socks, you absolutely must know about the sock company I recommend...

Up and coming
At Dressage at Devon, I met the family that is selling a line of socks for equestrians that includes horse themed designs and more abstract designs. They only had samples at their booth but I bought 2 pair that I should be receiving any day. They were about $12 each.

Newmarket striped socks - somehow or another I keep adding them to my monthly smartpak orders, somebody stop me.
I'm into plain, myself, mostly so I don't have to worry about losing one half of a pair....but I do love the looks of a lot of those!
ReplyDeleteI like the way these socks look but do any of them actually WEAR without getting holes in them in two months? I ALWAYS get holes in socks, especially thin ones and I'm not shelling out $8-10 for something that's going to go all holey. How much does it make me crazy? So crazy that I order socks from Australia -- Holeproof Heroes -- that do NOT get holes in them!!!
ReplyDeleteMe, I wear just plain white atheltic socks....they wear well , absorb sweat and I don' t get the whole wear the socks outside the breeches look. Guess those are for the more fashion forward... They do make good christmas gifts though.
ReplyDeleteYou can get 5 pairs for $10 at Ardenes...best deal out there. I have so many pairs! :)
ReplyDeleteI am a boot sock junkie. I am partial to Trot Sox. But you can't beat the price of the equestrian collections. I will have to check out those by Celeste Stein.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll admit to having a bit of a sock fetish myself *grin*. Can't say I'm willing to cough up twelve bucks for a pair, but I do have some I found in the clearance barn at Jeffers, and I love 'em! :o)
