Pow Chicka Wow Wowww -Old Skool Throwback

I've come across many different styles of socks. All sorts of running socks and walking socks etc., more than I ever imagined. So many people think the average cotton sock you may see in many stores is the only kind of sock made, the kind they wore as kids. I wish that I could meet these people face to face and guide them through the different variables and styles of todays modern times, like a sock guru.

Before working for Amazing Socks obviously, how about going way back to when I was a little girl barely 6 years old, I too thought there was very few styles of socks. Growing up I was only allowed to wear certain clothing and accessories. Not for the style really but, just cause I think my mom loved torturing me with horrible fashion sense. LOL Take for instance the infamous golf styled shoes or " saddle shoes", these paired off with bobby socks made the ultimate 70's outfit complete.

I can remember walking into Stride Rite with my tattered old pair of shoes on and given the option of either saddle shoes or Minnetonka moccasins. This gray haired old man would come with a large shoe horn and fit me wearing my old bobby socks. Now if you've ever worn moccasins or saddle shoes, you'd clearly remember NO CUSHION!!!! lol What I would've given for a nice pair of plush Smartwool socks then. HA! Socks were simple and cotton back then. Either shorties, bobby socks or long tube socks with stripes, come to think of it Wigwam Mills still makes a striped tube sock. It was a dream come true when I turned 14 yrs old, it was then I had a third shoe option...JELLY SHOES!! LOVe EM'!

Back in the day many things were so basic besides socks and shoes. EvenThermal Underwear (PJ's for me)was basic, only waffle knit cotton itchy ones that always seemed too small for me lol, Nowadays we have great thermal underwear made with soft merino or silk, even cotton has come a long way... My how times have changed...
