My first experience of ToeToe socks ...

My first experience of ToeToe socks was a few years ago, when I was egged on by some of my relatives to try them out. Initially they seemed to me like weird types of feet clothing, which just seemed too out of the ordinary against the safe conventional socks I presumed I felt more comfortable wearing. The first pair of ToeToe socks I tried on were of a plum purple colour and at first they felt new and awkward, but as I walked and wiggled around in them, gradually my feet seemed to feel comfortable in them. This is due to the ingenious conception of ‘Enhanced Proprioception Technology’. Oddly enough, this allowed the socks to adapt to the shape of my feet, as well as permitting more freedom in movement. The material of the socks is generally made from high quality cotton and 10% elastane, which makes the socks easy to pull on and helps it to adapt to your foot shape as well as sustaining its form.

For example, during the winter, say December/January when it’s bucketing down with rain, you find that after a cold groggy day, you come home, take off your shoes, and then you have to peel off your unpleasantly damp socks. When I wore ToeToe socks last winter, I found that not only were they warm and snug, they felt as light and as airy as conventional socks. I also noticed that my feet weren’t dampened in the slightest, and this is because ToeToe socks lock in moisture within the cotton material, and keeps feet dry, particularly in between the toes and on your soles.

I experienced further positives from wearing ToeToe socks when I visited the city of Oxford and I noticed that my feet weren’t as sore, as I’d dreaded them to be when I returned to London. Usually, having worn “normal” socks after a long day, I tend to find I would get sore feet and my toes would feel worn. Yet when I wore ToeToe socks my feet felt perfectly fine, and this was due to the soft superb quality of cotton continuing to soften and comfort my feet throughout the day, which also prevented any unwanted development of cuts and blisters.

Admittedly, I don’t wear ToeToe socks all day every day, like a true convert. But, they are my essentials for when I’m travelling on a significantly long day trip and they are extremely helpful for when I’m working, which requires me to be on my feet for the majority of the time. I am happily recommending this product to novices who have yet to experience them, and I can assure you, they will become a worthy investment for your drawers.
