When I put on my first pair of red hiking socks, I swear my feet groaned in pleasure. I spent the first day on my feet working hard at a tradeshow. That night after flying home, I noticed that my feet were not swollen from the day and the flight. After I crawled into bed, I had a fleeting thought that perhaps I should get up and put my socks back on. This from a dedicated bare-footer who doesn’t like socks or shoes! I continue to wear the socks everyday and look forward to adding to my collection. Thank you!
