Cool, not cold
Showing your ankles is called “flanking”, a combination of the words “flashing” and “ankle”. A great deal has been written about whether “flanking” is practical or not.
We don’t want to get in on the debate, but we do want to offer a solution: with our new Invisible Socks made of Merino wool, you can keep your feet warm even when your ankles are out.
Combine the temperature-regulating properties of Merino wool with a barefoot look, even on cooler days.
