Flamingo Summer
DESCRIPTION: Your feet will enjoy a tropical vacation every time you wear these socks! Bright flowers, jungle leaves and festive flamingos adorn this cuff-down pattern that features a festive twist on traditional design. Striped side gussets add ease to the instep and integrate 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 for a tropical party!
The pictured socks are shown in size Medium and are being worn by an adult female.
