Rockabilly Socks from Chattyfeet
Chattyfeet are probably the most fun you can have with a pair of socks. Combining lovely quality fabric with unique, funny designs, Chattyfeet offer character and fun, and make a great present. I was recently asked if I would like to review some of the latest designs, and, as a real fan of the brand, I was more than happy to say hello to the fun new characters immortalized in a pair of socks. The Sock set for Rockers comprises of Danny and Sandy.
