I
fell so in love with wool socks when we started backpacking in
Colorado. that I decided to wear wool socks all the time.'great idea
until my feet began to smell and sweat all the time. It took several
months after I stopped the regimen for my feet to get back to their
dry-not-so-smelly selves. I kept wearing wool socks for backpacking,
cross-country skiing, and serious hiking and continued to love them.
Unfortunately, cycling (in feet-friendly, quick drying synthetics)
has replaced those beautiful activities and my beautiful wool socks
languish beautifully in my sock drawer-- except when I find an excuse
to wear them as imperfect slippers or as expressions of nostalgia.
