NZ Sock Co - Merino Possum Stripe Sock

Confession: I am Australian. I bought one (1) pair of these socks on a late 2024 visit to Waiau/Franz Josef and foolishly departed your beautiful country before securing a backup pair, despite my partner's suspiciously covetous glances. Mercifully, hours of obsessive online sleuthing revealed identical socks' availability from the Tin Shed at a competitive price and with a fair international shipping fee. Even if my original, widely admired pair now somehow mysteriously disappear, my feet will retain access to luxurious comfort and style. These omni-gender, all-weather socks are warm (but not too warm), soft, keep my feet dry, and withstood several days' wear during a laundry-deficient leg of my Aotearoa Odyssey without exuding a hint of foot-smell. They are perfect for any occasion; I hereby attest that I wish to be buried in one pair, so that we may gently decompose together, and bequeath the other pair to my partner. The socks' pattern and colours, redolent of majestic glaciers, weathered limestone, and wild, unspoiled rivers, charm in their simplicity. Are they the World's Best Socks? Without doubt, yes. My one criticism - I wish the toe was emblazoned with 'Aotearoa' instead of 'New Zealand'. Otherwise, these woolly wonders embody sock perfection. Thank you to the Tin Shed, the NZ Sock Co, and the Merinos and Possums (vale) of Aotearoa.
