"This store's just socks, but I love it anyway" or "Socks to be you".
But I'll spare you.
As someone who typically gets Kirkland white-with-grey-bottom socks for general use and Columbia outlet stuff for hiking I don't feel particularly well qualified to write this post, but hey hath not a boring dude feet.
Having recently moved into our Sellwood hood, Sock Dreams is like a portal of vibrant warm fuzzy happiness. The renovated house, the friendly sockperts, the myriad of assorted foot coverings, all contribute to the comforting at ease sensation you'll never find in the harsh lights of an H&M or Gap.
Like people, socks apparently come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and styles (they even have different jobs). So there are half socks, footies, anklets, midcalves, knee highs, over the knee, thigh high, dream stockings, toe socks. And those were just the socks, there's accessories too.
So far, with some staff assistance, I've just bought gifts for my much better half, both of which were well received and reasonably priced. Personally though I'm thinking about the dragon socks and/or the joker socks.
Don't live in Portland, don't dispair. Unlike the food I blog about all this is available on-line, in fact their web selections surpass even their in-store offerings.
Ultimately Socks Dreams is just fun, a cozy escape from banality, a mini world of argyle, candy cane, and even tie-dye.
I guess that wasn't so bad.
No puns like "We will sock you" needed.
