MP Magic Socks with ribbing for cushion and open weaving for breathing<\/span><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I agreed to review another pair of socks here for Travelingboy, I did not know they were from the same people who produced the socks for my last review<\/a>. Not that it would have stopped me, but they\u2019d have to be different to warrant another attempt. Well, I was surprised but not disappointed by my new MP Magic Socks.<\/p>\n

First, these were described as their new merino wool sock that that would be great for hiking but would do double duty as a suitable-for-the-office sock.\u00a0 One of my most comfortable pairs of socks is Wigwam\u2019s Merino wool blend, so I was definitely interested in trying these \u201cnew\u201d socks. \u00a0Then I was assured that the size was L-XL, so I knew they\u2019d fit my feet in my size 45 Ecco boots which I wear every day. I decided they were worth a look and I\u2019m glad I did.<\/p>\n

I have long complained that sock designers ignore the fact that feet are different shapes. What fits on my left foot, with its big toe on the right, doesn\u2019t always fit on my right foot with the big toe on the opposite side. Yet manufacturers always make the sock toe the same shape, ignoring the differences in anatomy.<\/p>\n

My happy feet ready to get into my boots \u2013 Day 5<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, the folks at Magic Socks got it right. My socks came labeled \u201cL\u201d for the left foot and \u201cR\u201d for the right foot, and they fit the designated foot! Why hasn\u2019t anyone done that sooner? No more stretching a \u201clefty\u201d into a \u201crighty\u201d \u2013 thank you! And they are odorless and antibacterial, too.<\/p>\n

\"Magic
This says it all<\/span><\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

L & R socks may sound like a minor thing, but this is especially useful when the socks are designed to be worn more than once between washing. \u00a0Yes, much to my surprise, this heavier gauged hiking sock is another five day sock. But I was not surprised it worked as well as the last pair I tested! I wore these socks a full five days. Two of the days, after working outside stacking firewood and raking leaves, they were damp with sweat when I removed them. Each time I thought I could not possibly wear them in the morning, and each time they were dry, pliant, and odor-free when I dressed the next day. After five days they looked as if they had been worn once, and smelled that way too.<\/p>\n

My new Magic Socks also have special ribbing for cushioning, and separate, more open weaving to make them more breathable. They are still only in black and grey, but the other two of my three \u201ccons\u201d in my original review \u2013 too thin a material and too small a size \u2013 have been addressed. They listened to me! I hope you do too. Just give these socks a try. I think you\u2019ll like them.<\/p>\n
