How high are your socks?
mine are midcalves…
Hemp midcalves, marketed to me as men’s socks…
I kind of like them though and I think other girls and sock lovers will too.
As you probably know, hemp is a wonderful renewable resource that doesn’t require pesticides or herbicides. It is the strongest natural fiber so it isn’t exactly naturally soft. For this reason many hemp socks have a high amount of cotton too.
The EG Smith hemp bootsocks are only 18% hemp because they are 81% cotton and nice and soft because of it…
These are 50% hemp and a good sturdy sock…
They are not itchy or scratchy…
they have this little embroidered leaf on them…
we have the option of getting our own logo but would have to buy alot so that’s not going to happen anytime soon.
Now for the fit…
The tops were narrow (on ME!!!), mostly it was getting them over my 8.5 (slightly wide) feet, I didn’t have trouble, but I think large feet will. Once on they are really comfy, nice padding around the feet and comfortably warm. They stayed up pretty well and could be scrunched down comfortably, again, slightly narrow cuff, so large calves aren’t going to like them. They are a “one size” fit, 9-11 or shoe size smallish to largish, I don’t think feet smaller than 7 will like them unless you like loose socks and, as I said above, large feet beware, they may be snug. That said, if they are in your range and you want hemp socks I think these are a great choice at $10…

Hmmmm.. I wonder if they will fit my little foot with my lumpy calf… I might wanna try these on for at least a second or two on the morrow.. i remember how soft and cushy they were just in hand when you showed em to me….. Sigh….another sock to add to the ever expanding wishlist!
