Toe Socks

Why and Where to Buy Toe Socks

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

If you've never known the joy of a pair of toe socks, or if you're like many people I've talked to and assume them to be uncomfortable, let me enlighten you - they're not. In fact, I find socks with toes to actually be more comfortable than the bag-like socks most of us slip our feet into on a daily basis.

When socks have compartments for your individual toes, your toes can move more freely - the feeling is much more akin to being barefoot. Additionally, during colder weather, I find that toe socks keep my feet much warmer than traditional socks - plus, I find that they don't slip quite as much as other socks, and they're loads of fun.

Below are a few sources to feed your existing toe sock fetish, or to get you thinking outside of the box when it comes to socks.
