@Lynn, Sadly, EG Smith hasn’t made their tie-dyed bootsocks in a long time and right now we don’t expect to see them brought back any time soon. It looks like a lot of the results that turn up in web searches are dead links and old entries, I don’t think any pairs of E.G. Smith Tie Dye Boot Socks are available for sale anywhere right now.

I love the original ‘love eric’ boot sock and have been looking for the tie-dye color(s).
Do your have them in stock or know where I can find them?

THANK YOU in advance and keep up the good work with these great socks!

Looking forward to hearing from you, Lynn

@Marshal, yup! As you can see from the picture and my observations they’re definitely softer and slouchier than before!

@Erick, Ha! We’ll try not to get confused. The pair I’m using for comparison are Natural. I wish we had Olive in, so I could properly compare then and now, but not yet!

@Dave, awesome! We’re glad they’re back too and it’s awesome you have old pairs to compare these too. Those OTK bootsocks, the Pippis, have an analogue in the Schoolgirl Long Socks, though I’d say Tabbisocks’ version is a little thicker and stiffer (but they do soften up over time).

I am really happy to see the return of these wonderful socks. I really loved those old E G Smith boot socks and I still have a few pairs left. My two favorites are a rainbow Tie-dye pair that was made as a fund raiser for AIDS research and a pair of OTK white ones.

Hi Sockdreamers! Great news indeed!
Just to clarify, I’m not the Eric with which the socks are in love with
Now, to my question; I just wanted to ask about the color of the new socks you’re comparing on this entry. Are they natural or white?
Thanks!

@Niqkita, EG makes a great light blue! It was super fun rebuilding that page, I do hope we can find more old images—it’s like time travel!

it makes me so sad that I couldn’t find the banner for the old page… I’m not going to give up the search though because i would love to see it in it’s full glory.
I adore my light blue pair of these btw…
