Versus Save the Penguins socks

Just love them and they look and feel great and it's for a good cause! This is the first time I've ordered online and what an incredibly efficient and seamless process, great experience.

Good value for money

This was my first time ordering from Versus and it won't be the last. I know the quality was good as I've received socks from previous races I've taken part in. But I was still very impressed by the outstanding quality of the socks. I was also able to make use of the free shipping to get even more socks than I originally planned on getting. I absolutely love the socks I ordered, especially the baby bokke socks which I will be gifting to a friend of mine and her baby.

Great socks!

I have overly mobile feet that often need a bit of extra support, and these socks provide it. My husband says he really likes the compressive feel of the socks. Will purchase again
