Five Toed Tights
Because I adore toe socks I couldn’t resist five toed tights. They take a little longer to put on even than regular toe socks because there is no quick sliding your toes through nylon (I wish they came in cotton!). But once they are on they feel pretty great. Reinforced toes and a special weave for the areas that need extra support or to breathe. Like all toesock-type items they keep your toes apart resulting in less sweat and your toes never get cramped, not even at the end of the day (unless you stuffed them into narrow shoes of course, but why would you do that?).
We can get these in more colors, currently we just have black, teal and plum… and the pantyhose version comes in tones that are closer to skin color. Both are perfect for showing off your toes modestly while wearing any sort of footing that divides any of your toes or is open toed. And yes, they come at a price, but really, you wouldn’t want a cheap version would you, they would just be covered in runs up all five toes, yuck!
Well, I don’t expect every one to love these, but if toe socks are your thing I highly recommend these! and if you would like to see more colors let us know which and we just might add them.

How about more spring-y colours? :3
Incredibly beautiful. So tempting!
You refer to the purple as ‘plum’ here, but it’s listed as ‘merlot’ on the order page. Same thing, right?My color suggestions: dark red; charcoal or grey; a light blue of some kind but not too light and pale, still vivid in color; olive green; chocolate.
Do they come in patterned versions?

Is there any chance the five toed tights will eventually be made in stripes? Because I LOVE the idea of tights with toes, but mostly wear stripeys.
Plum, merlot, yes… merlot, but they could be plum…
These do not come in patterns or stripes or spring colors… but hopefully they will. More likely: over the knee or thigh highs tabi socks which very well may come in stripes and patterns and springier colors =)
