I wore Tevas all summer. On days I had to work in the office, I swapped them out for the DM Voss II.

It’s been so long since I wore socks that I don’t even know where they went.

And now, quite abruptly, it’s sock season again. I love socks. A light merino, a Columbia hiker, Saucony no-shows. Those are my go-tos. I’m forever looking for a knee-high cable knit that will accommodate the calves I’ve inherited from my parents.

Ohhhhh, the e.g. smith space-dye. Those were amazing. I miss those.

It’s been a rough transition. I’m still throwing on Tevas to run out to get the mail, but the rain is increasingly colder and it’s only a matter of time before full-time whole shoes are necessary.

I need new socks.
