Interesting Socks of the Month - October 2010.

It's been a while...although naturally this has given the sock world plenty of opportunities to pull itself up and raise its game. This month's winner is clearly a cut above the rest.

A heel and toe combo of earthy brown form a firm foundation against tight, bright stripes of colour, compacted together in a retro style that forms an appreciative smile upon the lips of any connoisseur.

A sock for the individual who isn't afraid to say "Hey, look at me...I'm interesting, and yet I totally respect the Nature Kingdom and the planet I live upon."

A well-deserved 8.5/10

Interesting Socks of the Month - May, 2009.

For roughly half the world - give or take a few hundred million or so, now is the time when layers of heavy duty cable knitwear, and thermal underwear, come sliding off, as we turn our faces to the brighter, bluer skies and welcome the onset of Summer.

Miserable cries and woeful shouts of shivering through the long Winter months are replaced promptly by cheery smiles of joy...which usually last for about a day and a half, before being replaced by miserable cries and woeful shouts of sweltering under the dire heat and feeling oppressed by the mugginess.

The office - a haven of warmth and security in the dark Winter months, now becomes the last place we want to be, as we slowly simmer and seriously consider selling our grannies for an overpriced soft drink and a nice cool breeze.

However...despite the heavy chances of ignoring all safety advice or simple common sense, and burning our skin to a crisp inside a long afternoon...I think it fitting to look fondly towards the oncoming months...or about a week and a half if you live in Britain...of Summer and welcome them in with a pair of summery, cheery sockwear.

These happy-go-lucky socks sure brighten up any day - regardless of mugginess levels or lack of a decent breeze.

Perfect for the beach...or simply reclining with a loved one of your choosing at some outdoor location, such as a picnic or BBQ...although naturally for health and safety reasons the picnic would be the best option. 8/10. ********--

Interesting Socks of the Month - April, 2009.

Socks are a broad reflection of life itself.

Instinctively, we seek out the bright...the alluring and daring, for it brings us a sense of wonder and excitement.

However, as in all things, outward looks are often a mere distraction, away from the most valuable things in our lives...those things which can bring us true and deep happiness.

This month's interesting sock is one which may not win any beauty contests. It does however exude torrents of reliability and steadfast honesty.

This is a sock that triumphs over all adversity. One to rely on...dependable, tough and true.

Such socks are always necessary...if only to remind us that life is hard, and we need socks that can carry us on our long and perilous journeys with a degree of confidence and trust.

The little red patches are quite nice too.

9 out of 10.

Interesting Socks Of The Month - March 2009.

I think, what I like most about these - aside from the instantly obvious, bright appeal of the radiant reds, that simply screams "Buy me, dammit...buy me now!' - is the cheerful feeling that comes to mind...a sensation of the approaching Summer months and all the expectant joy and anticipation that lies within them.

The yellow, fiery bits are also nice. Overall, I think a well-deserved 8.8 is called for.

Interesting Socks of the Month - February, 2009.

I feel it may prove hard to beat this rather dazzling pair. There is a reasonable chance that I may have found the most interesting pair of socks ever created.

Perfect for any occasion and looking to score mighty high on the comfort scale.

A worthy winner indeed for Interesting Socks of The Week, with an overall score of 9.85.

Well done to all concerned.
