Since feet don't possess opposable thumbs that are capable of lighting their own bonfires, it takes a dedicated pair of socks to warm them. Today's Groupon offers cozy hugs for your platforms with $30 worth of socks and accessories from Sock Dreams for $15. Repel negative foot fashion with a giant sock drawer full of wool socks, organic socks, leg warmers, and more to keep your bottom ends insulated.

A sock is the first message you send to the soles of your boots and the simplest way to keep dust bunnies from nibbling your heels. The locally owned Sock Dreams, in the historic Sellwood neighborhood, encourages you to dress your ankles accordingly with boatloads of ripe-picked socks, from anklets such as the silky soft and naturally antibacterial Ananda bamboo turnwelt crew socks ($9) to eco-friendly foot fare such as the hardwood-slippage-preventing ToeSox toeless ankle socks with grips ($13). There are also slick, Japanese-inspired Ashi Dashi socks ($12–$18), highlighted by bold designs including the notebook knee highs that turn your midcalves into composition paper ($18), plus toe socks, thigh highs, and more.

Complement your wardrobe with a few extra pair of shoe-underwear, or go the route of accessorizing with nifty throwback sock-garters ($5–$28), gloves that are just like socks but are meant for hands ($24 in four colors), leg warmers, and politely scented foot lotions and heel repairs.

The reason why grass grows from the ground is to tickle the soles of your feet and make you giggle when you ought to be doing other things. Socks offer a dependable line of defense against such natural distractions as growing grass. Give your feet a striped or polka-dotted defense system against annoying and irritating grass. They will thank you by walking you places such as ice-cream parlors and helicopter junkyards.
