When you know you “should” be hiking to stay or get fit, to be part of nature, or to share some outside fun with a close friend—but you feel it’s too damp and cold, or there’s no one who has time to hike with you—pull on a pair of these laced up socks. You can fool yourself into thinking you’re in hiking boots and enjoy their toasty warmth at the same time. This is an i-cord application to a sock that a knitter may never have seen before. Worked in a different color scheme these would look like boxing or luchador boots!
