The first time I had them on I walked about 7 miles on the trail and my feet were not hurting at all. I am definitely recommending these socks.” -Amazon Customer Review. We like these socks because of the designs, it’s high time we took a little fashion responsibility and wore nice looking socks!” At GoNOMAD, we like these socks because we have so many pairs of black socks and white socks, but none as colorful as these. It’s about time we were a bit more creative about what we cover our feet with!

Giesswein Wool Indoor/Outdoor slip-ons

There’s something about wearing slippers outside that is appealing. These are sturdy, high-quality wool slip-ons that work as indoor slippers or regular shoes. The women’s Bella model has a nice embroidered pattern and comes in charcoal or purple. Ever since I began wearing slip on regular shoes, I just can’t be bothered to tie ’em so I love anything that I can slip on like these. And they really stay on your feet, they don’t slip off.

Very high arch makes these especially comfortable. Giesswein Women’s Bella Purple Slipper, $60.99. Men’s are the Innsbruck Lodge shoes, in Charcoal. $158
