There are three things that you should know about me.
1. I prefer to be barefoot.
2. I like the way shoes look... on other people but I don't really care to wear shoes, unless of course they are flip flops.
3. If I have to wear shoes I require a good pair of socks.
Which brings me to my beef. A few years ago I was introduced to the greatest pair of socks. They are made by Champion. A standard white athletic crew sock, with a cushion toe and heel, soft cotton, and a snug no slouch fit. They are fantastic. Truly. Problem is I CAN'T FIND THEM ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!! And... I need socks. I've been searching for a year to no avail.
So last week I resigned to purchase a "lesser" sock. Hanes. They are not comfortable, they slouch, and are overall substandard. I hate them. To make matters worse, no less than 4 hours of wearing the second pair of socks I take off my shoe, look down, and see... a run. A RUN!! IN MY SOCKS!!!! Who knew that was possible?! I mean, really. Isn't that shame reserved for pantyhose... the single most uncomfortable article of clothing a woman can wear! I had my Champion socks for over three years with zero holes. Zero runs. They are what the name brand says. Champions. Total perfection. I HATE Hanes socks. Hate them. HATE THEM!
you are SO FUNNY! the comedic timing of this post is incredible. it made me laugh out loud. down with lesser socks and hurrah for champions!
ReplyDeleteI guess we'll all have to be on the search for socks with you!
ReplyDeleteAmen to the barefoot and flip flops.
i looked down and noticed my socks...they say "c9" which is champion as well :) i have had them for some years, so that must mean i agree with you! i did just buy some socks at kmart, they are joe boxer and i just liked how soft they are! i will let you know if i find any more champs though.
ReplyDeleteit must run in the family :-)
ReplyDeleteOh Aimee, this post made me laugh out loud! Well said, my dear friend! I wish we could find you a perfect pair of Champion socks. Maybe you could write the company? I will send in your blog post for you, if you want. I'm all about advocating!!
