When I get sweaty, I want to take off my socks and stockings, but when I'm barefoot, my feet become sticky, and the top of my foot rubs and hurts. We have created half socks that make those uncomfortable feet comfortable. Lace covers the insteps gorgeously, while the soles are made of a cotton blend to guard against stickiness. Since the toes are open, it feels like bare feet and is light and comfortable to wear.
