DESCRIPTION: This design celebrates the beauty of the winter sky. When it’s cold and clear, moonglow illuminates falling snowflakes to create one of nature’s most delightful light shows. Who wouldn’t want wardrobe accessories to coordinate with that?! A pair of striped side gussets add ease to the instep and integrates artistically into the coordinating striped heel gusset and sole. This charted design is written for four widths, so there’s a perfect size for anyone old enough to enjoy nighttime walks in the snow!

The pictured socks are shown in size Medium and are being worn by an adult female.
