Ode to Flip-Flops

Assorted colorful flip-flops.

I miss you
I covet you
I want to wear you, but
There is noth­ing appro­pri­ate about icy,
Cold, pur­ple toes
Secretly, I call you thongs
The only one that appre­ci­ates
That is my hus­band
Will this blasted cold air
Ever leave our town?
Will I ever get to feel
You flop­ping on my soles?
…sigh…
I miss you, my sole blankie

I’m so excited about this review! Mainly because of the tim­ing… Last Novem­ber, EZ Sox asked if I would like to review their prod­uct. I checked them out and quickly said, “Yes!” because I had ulte­rior motives in mind.

Unfor­tu­nately the death of my Grand­mother and other ail­ments has made it impos­si­ble for me to post about this give­away EZ Sox Froguntil now. Frus­trat­ing, but I’m glad it worked out that way, because they have grown their prod­ucts and that’s exactly what my only wish was when I orig­i­nally checked out the socks.

They sent me the cutest pair of frog socks. The Kid’s Socks are for ages 2–5 and since my kids are older than that I asked my neigh­bor if she would try them out on her 2 year old son and 5 year old lit­tle girl that has Down Syn­drome. Love her! She doesn’t really have prob­lems with nor­mal socks other than she has to really con­cen­trate to get that open­ing wide enough. To Lil’ Miss. M, she thought it was great fun pulling those EZ Sox on and off. Her mother, who is a occu­pa­tional ther­a­pist said the idea behind them was great! She actu­ally makes loops for pants for her older patients who have prob­lem get­ting dressed. She said they would be great in the rehab world — both for geri­atrics and pediatrics.

And guess what??

They have older kid’s socks now with just reg­u­lar col­ors and this Spring, they’re com­ing out with Adult socks! I’m so excited that EZ Sox sees the need that their prod­uct can fill.

EXTRA COOL FACTOR: They have have a Valentine’s Day Spe­cial going on. Every sock is 40% off! You only have until mid­night, the 14th then the spe­cial is gone.
