Sock Dreams: Thigh High Tabi Socks Review

SOCK DREAMS: THIGH HIGH TABI SOCKS!

I originally had full intentions of finding some thigh high white socks at the local Kohls that I could turn into tabi socks; however, since the seasons changed... thigh high socks are pretty much impossible to find anywhere. I searched several different stores and found nothing.

I remembered my friend Emily recommending sockdreams for ANY sock purchase a few years ago. She was so pleased with the socks that she bought for her Alice cosplay. Not only was she happy with the socks themselves, but she was thrilled with the shipping and cost.

So, I decided to give it a go. I went to sockdreams.com and looked through the tabisocks tag. Within no time, the socks that I needed were located. I ordered that pair of socks and some other pair that Emily asked me to pick up. I ended up purchasing fairly late afternoon on a Friday.

Within a few minutes of my purchase, I checked my email and already had received a notice that my socks were shipped! I was incredibly impressed! This is by far the quickest shipping notification that I've ever had! Since it was late Friday, I knew that the quickest that I would receive my socks would be Monday... and well, that's exactly when they showed up. I was very pleased!

I immediately opened my package and was thrilled to see the packaging of the socks. Seeing that my socks are from Japan, I was a little concerned. I love Japanese products, but my thighs are muuuuuch larger than the average Japanese person. I don't classify myself as fat, but I just have always had relatively thick thighs.

After taking out of the package, they were nicely presented as such~

They're very thick~

The socks themselves are incredibly comfortable! The bottom especially! My only issue, as I predicted, was the thigh area. It's incredibly tight; however, for the Kagamine Rin cosplay, I'll be able to modify them enough so that they fit better.

Tight at the top, but comfy everywhere else~!

They're a bit see through~

I think that I might cry a little bit when I have to modify the socks.... mainly, seeing the blood stains that I'm going to add to them. Yes... it will look really cool once I fix it up (hopefully).

Anyways, here's my (breakdown) review:

Shipping/Communication/Etc: 5/5

Socks Comfort: 4/5

Socks Design: 5/5

Socks Packaging: 5/5
