Buttoned Bamboo Socks

The Friendly Socks Can Be Buttoned Together to Prevent Misplacing Them

— February 5, 2016 — Fashion
Friendly Socks' eco-friendly bamboo socks not only feature the use of an innovative material in their construction, but they also feature a simple but extremely useful functional feature that takes care of one of the longstanding problems most of us have with their socks -- losing them.

These bamboo socks feature a non-intrusive buttoning system that allows you to secure socks of the same pair together before you pop them in the laundry. This ensures that your socks stay together at all times until you're ready to pull them onto your feet. When you do wear them, you'll revel in the surprising softness and sturdy build of the socks, that will fit and feel better than any socks you've worn before.

Eco-friendly and functional, these Friendly Socks are friendly both to the wearer and to the environment.
