I hate socks. I hate shoes. I would rather be barefoot, but I suffer through wearing flip flops when I have to wear something on my feet. I only wear closed toed shoes when I am out of the house during the 2 coldest months of the winter. I wear flip flops in the rain even! So even though I do own socks, a shock to many people who know me, I do not enjoy wearing them.
I have two kinds of socks: thin and pretty useless (my usual go-to) and thick and make-my-feet-sweaty. I only wear the latter with shoes that are too big for me to make them fit better.
I have flat feet so I am almost always suffering from foot and ankle aches, especially at the end of a day full of my wonderful little ones. I have adjusted to that being part of life (like my frequent migraines and constant backaches) and didn't think that anything short of expensive and uncomfortable shoe inserts would do much to help me.
When BzzAgent selected me for to try out Copper Socks, I actually selected to get them in my husband's size (Men's size 6-12/Women's 8-12) Large because I just assumed I would make him try them out for me. But after reading my friend's thoughts about them in a facebook group, I decided to try them on when they arrived.
Now I have small feet, women's size 5/6 normally and my husband wears shoe size 10-10.5 normally. I expected for the socks to be huge on me, but they weren't. They fit snugly but weren't too big on my foot or too tight. That, of course, had me worried that they would be too small for my husband. But the elastic and fabric in these socks are made of some kind of magic because they fit him equally well!
When I put the socks on, I was immediately struck by how soft and comfortable they were, seriously, I was kind of in awe. They were thick so they felt very much like a slipper, but a snug fit that were like, well, socks.
The thickness made me certain that they would be too warm and my make feet sweat. I like it cool in my house (read: I sleep with my thermostat at 66 at night just about year round) because I have been basically pregnant or breastfeeding for almost the entire last 5 years. So to test it out, I wore the socks around my house for several hours as I played with my kids, watched tv, cooked dinner and snuggled up to nurse my baby in my bed. To my amazement, MY FEET NEVER GOT HOT! These socks are made part magic, I tell ya!
I even wore these socks to bed and slept the whole night without being too hot or taking them off in my sleep. I am sort of in love! I sad when I remembered that I had actually ordered these in my husband's size and he really needed new socks... I didn't want to share.
But I am a good wife, so I shared with my overly skeptical and hard-to-please husband. Guess what? He was amazed by how soft and comfortable they were too. He likes them so much that he put them on our bedside table after wearing them for a couple hours so he could re-wear them in the morning! (My husband doesn't usually re-wear anything, he calls a towel dirty after drying off his hands!)
This morning, my husband asked if they make these socks in black (so he could wear them to work) and if I would look into ordering more. We are both sold on these socks, and I might have to reconsider shoes so I can wear them more than just around my house.
From my research, the current price is $24.99 PER PAIR (a bit steep, but definitely worth it). But I was given a coupon code to share with my readers!
