Bamboo socks trials

Posted on January 26, 2010 at 2:21 PM

 

Well, I decided to buy a few pairs of spanking new bamboo socks and what a disappointment. Costing twice as much as my 100% cotton socks (which are getting harder to find), these don't last a month before popping a hole. Ah well, all is not lost, they'll go into my neighbour's compost and get broken down for the garden. Don't waste your money. Did you know that you can compost anything if it's pure wool? My mom used to do that when our woolens were no longer possible to recycle.

Stephanie,

All bamboo socks are not created equal. The failure of the product you bought was not a result of 'bamboo', it was a result of a poorly made product. A dollar says they weren't made here.

If you will e-mail your address to me I will send you two pair of our socks made here in the US by Bamboosa. When you get them just give them a good try and then write a review on your site. If you think they are good say so and if not, say that too. I promise you that you will be happy and so will your feet!!

Thanks,

Mo
