This sock may be ugly but it will be the most comfortable sock you will ever wear.

Made in New Zealand from 50% polypropylenes, 30% merino wool and 20% possum fur. The polypropylene wicks moisture away form the skin, well the merino wool and possum fur are for warmth and comfort.

This sock is mid calf in length and has an elastic rib shank. The sole and heal areas are cushioned with a high density pile that protects against blisters, making this great for walking and wearing inside boots.

We only get these socks in random assorted colours so you will receive a random colour.

Antarctica tested! My feet feel the cold. When we booked a trip to Antarctica I wondered how I would keep my feet warm. These socks were really comfortable and kept my feet toasty. They also wash well in the machine using cold or warm water. These socks are expensive but worth every penny. I can recommend them without reservation.

Ugly socks We have bought a few pairs of these socks over the years. We buy them for my son in law who loves them. He is a teacher and is on his feet a lot. If they aren’t on his feet they are in the wash. They are thick, warm and the most comfortable socks you can buy. As well as that they are unpredictably funky and colourful.

The ugly possum trekka sock Man, these are the best socks I have ever tried on and I have tried squillions ( peripheral neuralgia). They are the warmest, even when wet and by far the most comfortable. Do yourself a favour, and get some.

The best socks in the (film) business I bought some possum socks for my daughter who is a runner in the film industry working in Scotland. It gets very cold and very wet but she reckons these are the very best thing to happen to her feet! Now I have to take two pairs each for her and her partner every time I visit.

2 thumbs up Bought a pair to take to Iceland last year and love them so much that I bought a couple more. Very comfy for around the house in winter as well as in boots hiking. Kicking myself that I didnt stop at the Shed last year when were were in NZ but will make sure to visit next trip.

Ugly socks I own several pair now as I like them so much. They are thick on the bottom and really warm and not as stiff or heavy as a work sock. I wear them fishing in winter in side my scuba boots as I dislike cold feet and you don't get the sweaty feel if the day turns out warm. I have given them for pressies and recipients loved them. I also like the random colours.

So soft, thick and warm! These socks exceeded my expectations! They are so soft yet strong. Thick but don't make my shoes tight and, OMG, warm!!!! they saved my tootsies from the frosts of a Tassie winter. I gave a pair to my mum who loves all things possum, so now I need to get some more :) YAY! Customer service is exceptional too - thanks Tin Shed.

"Comfort Incarnate" I bought this sock on a whim in some little touristy corner of an outdoor gear shop in Arthur's Pass, and oh my, did I not know the gem I discovered! This sock has all the uniqueness of NZ while also being incredibly soft and warm. Compared even to my alpaca socks, these guys take the cake as far as warmth. I got back to the states and ordered almost everyone in my family a pair for Christmas. To quote the exact words of my brother-in-law "[these socks] have forced me to redefine a sock's role and purpose in my life. They are comfort incarnate." The Tin Shed was great, loved that someone took the time to scribble a little note of gratitude on my invoice, too. Keep up the good work guys!

Ugly Trekka Sock It would have been ideal to be able to select the desired colour as random colour is not an ideal customer experience.

Just right for cold days My son loved these socks. They are very good for active, young people after a winter work day. In the evenings, these socks are dry, warm and cozy. Thanks!

Therma Dry - Ugly possum Trekka Sock These socks seem great; well cushioned and really warm (to be expected in Oz summer) but purchased in preparation for winter trip to Norway.

Therma Dry - The UGLY Possum Trekka Sock

bad customer service I purchased 6 pairs of socks which I know to be of a great quality. I accidentally ordered wrong size! I immediately sent two emails asking for the correct size which were left unanswered. I live in a different time zone (Europe - 12 hour difference) and it was difficult for me to call. The order was dispatched as is. These were Xmas gifts which arrived 5 weeks later (3 days before Xmas). I guess I shall have to rush and look for a different gift and not order from this company again. ,2
