Sockettes by Tabio

sock.jpgI do (as you regulars out there will know) love my flats, but even though they can be gorgeously comfortable, half the time I seem to get more blisters with them than impossibly high heels - especially on my little toes and behind the heel. Tabio sockettes are meant to solve this exact problem. Rather excitingly, they come in all sorts of lace styles, as well as the more classic plain colours. Having never tried them, I'm not sure how well they work in practice - evidently I prefer bandaging my feet for days on end afterwards and having to wear Uggs in July because everything else rubs my battered blistered toes! The price ranges from £5.50 upwards and if you're an experienced Tabio sockette wearer and you love or hate them, let me know.

    i'm on my year abroad in japan at the moment and they're everywhere around here. i find most of them uncomfortable to wear with shoes though so i tend to just buy the cute ones with bows and stuff to wear around the house.



    they're so much cheaper here though, you can get 3 pairs for like £4.

    I've never even heard of these, but I too am a flat shoe lover. I'd be willing to try them out... if I can find them around here...

    If you try wearing these in Italy, you'll be seen as a completely out-of-fashion and cheap person. They call them fantasmini, that would be something like "ghosties" in English... are considered as something embarrassing.

    These were really popular in Tokyo last year. You can still see many young girls wearing them with flats. Usually, they wear bold colors with subtle shoes. I think they're cute but they didn't help prevent blisters...

    Primark used to sell these, probably still do (but just in a nude colour, no fancy lace). £1 for 2 pairs I think. My problem with them is that they're only one size 4-7 so fall off my heels. They protect my toes from blisters though.
