"Hey there, I'm new around here. Let me introduce myself. I'm a sheep. Darn Tough Vermont Socks sent me to spread the Good Word about wool.
Wool is antimicrobial, temperature regulating, and sustainable. You could wear your socks into the ground and then put them in the ground, and they would eventually compost! How cool is that?!
Anyway, as I'm settling in here with my new friends in Cambridge, I am searching for a name.
What should my name be?
If you come up with something good, you might even win a free pair of Darn Tough socks!"

It's like Sockapalooza but in April!
For a limited time, Feetures socks are buy 3, get the 4th pair for Free!!
Feetures socks have a left and right foot so that they match up with your arch, and they have a lifetime guarantee!

"Baa, Baa Black Sheep, what do you know about wool?!"
All Darn Tough Vermont Socks are made with wool. No, it's not itchy or scratchy and you CAN machine wash and dry them.
Why wool? Wool is biodegradable unlike synthetic materials, wool will decompose.
Sustainable companies sign on to the Responsible Wool Standard, which is a voluntary standard that addresses the welfare of the sheep and the land they graze on.

Love this Sheep as much as we do?! Stay tuned for our naming contest. We want you, our customers, to help us name our new friend, and we'll give you a free pair of Darn Tough socks if we choose your name!

Happy Easter!
We are open today until 5pm!

Don't be a turkey! Be a cool Cambridge Turkey. They cross the street politely, only when the crosswalk signal indicates "WALK." They also know that the all new HOKA ONE ONE Mach 4 is THE shoe of MArCH 2021. The Mach 4 is designed for logging long miles as an everyday trainer and provides an energetic underfoot feel.
