The socks were packaged and shipped in all Eco friendly materials. I like that from the top-down, everything is environmentally friendly.
The Socks
Why bamboo socks? You may be wondering why these socks are special, and why you shouldn't just go to Target and pick up a pair of socks. These socks are made from bamboo. Bamboo has natural properties that wick moisture from your feet, prevent bacteria and increases circulation in your feet. Bamboo is also good for the Earth. It takes 24,000 gallons of water to turn cotton into a pound of fabric. Bamboo only needs 12.
I was sent two pairs of socks: men's dress socks and women's ankle socks

First Observations:
When I opened up the socks, I noticed how incredibly soft they were. The socks have reinforced toes. I was really excited to try out the socks.
The Test:
I wasn't able to test the men's socks, because my husband has a size 14 foot (the socks only go to 12). I tested out the women's socks. I wore them around the house all day, while taking care of my two small children. I am pretty picky about my socks and usually just go barefoot because my feet get too hot. These socks stayed put and were comfortable all day.
I decided to also test them on a run. I really enjoy running (I just started in May), but I haven't found the right running socks. These socks worked great. I really wish I could get a whole running outfit made like these socks.

| The Package |
Final Thought: I am really impressed with these socks. I was disappointed that my husband can't wear them, but not many people wear a size 14 shoe. I love the women's socks. I really like the reinforced toe and I think it will keep my socks from getting holes in them. Zocksters are incredibly comfortable and really keep your feet cool and dry. If you would like to sign up for Zockster, go to http://www.zockster.com/. Even better, Zockster is letting me do a give away for a 1 month box (3 pairs of socks). Enter Below.

I was really excited to see what was in my Bluum box this month. This was for T and was the theme Lil Artist (18 months). Bluum curates their boxes by theme. So every 18 month old will get Lil Artist, but not everyone will get the same things in their Lil Artist boxes. I haven't totally figured out their method yet, but I have only gotten 1 duplicate, and that was the fig bars this month. Continue Reading …
