Gold Toes-- Stylish Spring Socks

During the early part of last century, two German immigrants founded a small mill in Bally, Pennsylvania to manufacture men's hosiery. As the story goes, in tribute to the country that adopted them, they named their company Great American Knitting Mills. During the great depression, when their customers required socks that would wear better and last longer than ever before, Great American introduced a sock with a gold reinforcing yarn sewn in the toe. This "durable "sock with the gold toe" is the GOLDTOE® hosiery men have relied on ever since then. In 1983, GOLDTOE® also introduced a women's line, followed by a boys line in 1986 and a women's tights line in 1992.

I am one of those people who seems to get a hole in the big toe of just one sock, each pair. Maybe I just have pointy toes, or maybe, I just haven't purchased durable socks1 In any case, it means that I'm always replacing my socks, and have a lot of "lonely-toes" in my sock drawer. So I was delighted to try the women's GoldToe All Day Comfort sock. These socks have the signature, reinforced gold toe, and something more: a pima cotton fabric with "Aqua FX" to keep your feet dry all day long.

As you can see, the socks above are not just comfortable and practical, they're pretty! Perfect for spring casual wear, The AquaFXC Flower Pop Crew $7.00 or $18.00/3 pairs is made up of soft 46 % pima cotton, 48% aquaroad nylon, 2% spandex and 2% stretch nylon. Apart from the soft knit and pretty design, what's great about these reinforced toe and the elastic band at the top--not too tight, and not so loose that I'm tugging them up. What more can you say about socks except that we all need them, we all wear them, and we might as well pick products that perform well and look good. So far, my GOLDTOE® socks are bearing up under the strain of my apparently lethal big toes, and look especially cute with clogs. I highly recommend them.

TIP: the best way to wash these socks (and probably, most other brands) is to launder them inside out. Use only Non-Chlorine bleach when needed. Machine wash and tumble dry at low temperatures.
