I wanted to compliment you on your socks. They are the best socks I have ever received or worn. I gave them to my son and he swears by them when working out in the cold. He just ordered three pair from your web site. Can you tell me if there is store in the Kitchener-Waterloo area that sells your socks? Your socks are the best! They're the softest, warmest...an ideal shroud of happiness for feet! As such, I'm giving the two pair included in this order to my parents for Christmas. Thanks! Chris Sukach - Smyrna, Delaware -December 18, 2006 Hi Theresa, I bought a pair of your socks at the Cranberry festival in Bala a couple of years ago and liked them so much I bought 2 more pairs. I wore the 3 pairs all winter, nothing else (socks I mean!) and they are still going strong. My feet are almost always warm now, which didn't happen with any other socks or combination of wick inner sock and wool outer sock. So I am definitely one of "the converted" about your socks. Ellen Titus - October 22, 2006 Dear Theresa: I thought I should drop you a line about an unusual adventure your socks have recently had. I am a scuba diver, with a Dive Master rating. This spring I acquired a dry suit, a special, heavy duty exposure protection garment that enables me to dive deeper, longer, and colder in the chilly water of the Great Lakes and Atlantic. Dry suits require that divers wear undergarments that are thermally efficient, comfortable, and compressible. I have experimented with a wide range of footwear for extreme cold-water diving, including neoprene, fleece, and a range of synthetics. My search for the perfect sock stopped when I tried a pair of your mohair stockings. They combined warmth and comfort perfectly: no other footgear has worked as well as the “Mohair Solution”. This is what dry suit divers have been waiting for! With gratitude for a summer of delightfully warm and comfortable dives, Terry Rudden - September 2006 Hi Theresa, Thanks for the information, I actually bought some of your socks back in 1997 and they are very durable and warm too. I would be wearing them for just general use, but with some hiking occasionally. Regards, Greg Grantham - Australia - May 17, 2006 I was on a newsgroup site when some guy asked whether any of us got stuck with socks for Christmas. I responded that I did and they were my favourite present. As a rule I try on every article of clothing I receive as a gift. When I tried on my Thermohair socks I purred. "This is like a trip to the spa'' Truly a remarkable feeling. Thank you for your continued efforts in putting forth a wonderful product. Mark Barker - February 3, 2006 I have tried many socks over the years. High tech, low tech and everything in between. I spend a lot of time in the winter on snow shoes, snow machine, and ice fishing and nothing compares to these for comfort and dryness. We live up north in a little town called Longlac. We are 3 hours northeast of Thunder Bay where winter temperatures are routinely around -25 to -35 C. Tim Griffin R.P.F. - Longlac, ON - November 28, 2005 Theresa, Your socks are fabulous, working outside in the cold even with rubber boots my feet don't get wet and cold. They are comfortable when working on concrete as well. My wife Pat uses them too and has warm feet for the first time in her life. We were introduced to them by Jack O'Hara (my Dad) and haven't had them off other to wash and dry since. We look forward to trying some of the other wonderful products you provide. John and Pat O'Hara - Port Severn, ON - May 25, 2005 Hello, My name is Leon Felts, I just placed an order for a pair of extra heavy thermohair socks. I would like to add an additional pair of 11-12 for a friend if that is possible. These are absolutely the best socks that I have ever had for hunting in cold weather and I want to give him a pair for Christmas. Thanks, Leon Felts - Decatur, AL - December 11, 2004 Thanks for your recent letter and brochure. I can't live without your socks! Great to find a company that really produces an excellent product (sitting at my computer with a pair of your socks on). Best wishes, Phil Youngman, Ottawa, ON - October 8, 2004 Your socks are great! I had the warmest feet in Antarctica. Susan Morton - February 24, 2004 I received a pair of your mohair socks for Christmas last year. I am a lobster fisherman in Nova Scotia working long hours during the winter months and often getting very cold feet. The mohair socks are the warmest socks I have ever owned! This year I received another pair of socks as I had nearly worn out the first pair. They are a great find! Chris Hopkins, Nova Scotia - January 5, 2004 Dear Theresa, During my summer vacation in August, I noticed your mohair socks for sale in a general store in a small town near Perth, Ontario. I cannot wear wool - I find it itchy and hot - but was intrigued by the soft, luxurious feel of your socks. The saleswoman assured me that your socks would cure my daughter's "always cold" feet and my "tired, aching" feet. Well, I splurged - a pair for myself, daughter and husband. We opened them on Christmas day, and, WE WILL NOT take them off our feet! They offer warmth and a soft massage all at the same time. I can't wait till you reopen on Jan. 5 so that I can order more. What an amazing product! Best wishes for 2004, Paula Pritchard, Perth, Ontario - December 28, 2003 I have accessed your web site and by the way your socks have been to Alaska on my feet as well as to all those other places listed on the site. I do a lot of outdoor winter hiking; and as I said before, the socks are superior in warmth, lightness, softness than anything I've ever tried and I've bought many products over the years......They are undoubtedly the best outdoor socks that I have ever run across... Ruth Hunt, Lakewood, Ohio - March 2001 I have just purchased my 3rd pair of Thermohair socks. I love them! I am outside quite a bit during the day come rain or shine ... or in the case of Calgary ... come chinook or blizzard and everything in between. I usually pack 2 or 3 extra socks in my jeep or brief case because my feet sweat so much. However, with these socks, my feet stay warm, wet or not. I just had to fax and say thanks. Cynthia Kay, Calgary, AB. - February 2001 I have had a pair of your socks, that I have been wearing for about 5 years now and finally have gone through the bottom of them. Hillie, Wellandport, ON. - January 2000 I think you folks made the finest and warmest socks I'll ever own! I got them for Christmas from my Mom... My Dad says they keep his feet so warm even his ears stay warm! Tory Russell, Whitehorse Yukon - January 2000 We are dog sledders in Northern BC, and received your mohair socks for Christmas, and just want to tell you how awesome they are! It is so nice to have warm feet when it is -35C out. Denise Linley, Farmington, BC. - January 2000 You cannot imagine how happy I was to watch the Venture CBC program featuring your company and THE SOCKS!! Let me tell you why ... About 4 years ago I bought your Thermohair socks as Christmas gifts for everyone on my list because we live in Northern Canada where "Forty below" has real meaning ... everyone LOVED THEM!! They became THE sock of choice and were the best gift I had ever given. Anyway, when I went back to the little gift shop where I purchased them, they had no more of the socks and the store had a new owner who had no idea what sock I was talking about and probably thought I was a little crazy to be so determined to get exactly those socks ... my search has continued and I have never found them again ...... until your appearance on Venture!!! I am in desperate need of purchasing socks ... as the snow falls and Christmas approaches!! My family will be so delighted to receive another pair of socks ... just when they had given up!!! Linda Black, Fort McMurray AB - October 1999 Thank you again for the wonderfully warm long lasting socks. May more people with cold feet discover them. Ivan Roy, Ottawa ON. - January 1999 I have ridden my snow machine from Tuk, Alaska to Dawson City ,Yukon for the last 4 years to purchase your socks at the Wild & Wooly store. These 4 trips have been made in February with temperatures ranging from 0 to -45 F. Your socks always keep my feet happy, warm, and toasty. Beverly Goad, Copper Center Alaska. - December 1996 With my Thermohairs on, my feet were never cold! When heart transplant patient Len deMille first handed each of us a pair of thermohair socks before we left for The Mount Logan Expedition for Heart, we all thought these might be yet another piece of expendable gear we would be dragging up 19,600 feet in the Yukon. As we packed up equipment for the 2 hour flight from Kluane Lake up onto the icy Quintino Sella glacier at 8,000 feet several of us debated leaving our thermohair socks behind. We considered the high altitude, arctic environment we were headed into, and since warm feet were likely to be an important factor in deciding the fate of the expedition, we eventually all decided to bring them along. None of us regretted the decision for a second. Since the thermohairs did not leave one with the itchiness of conventional wool socks, some members of the team used their socks inside their climbing boots. I decided to pamper myself with the socks" warmth and softness. One of the most pleasant and anticipated moments after an exhausting days' climb came when I stripped off my ski boots and changed into my soft and ever so warm thermohair socks. Tramping around every morning and evening doing chores in the snow with these socks inside my camp booties I never had cold feet. I even slept with them on because even in high quality sleeping bags such as we had, your toes can never be warm enough when it is -3- degrees Celsius. My thermohair socks look and feel as good after our one month long expedition as that day Len came smiling up to us at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute with a bundle in his hands. I would not hesitate for a second in recommending these socks to anyone contemplating a mountaineering expedition, winter camping, skiing or even anyone just looking for warmer feet.
