Great video! I just bought dollar tree socks to TRY to sublimate on for the first time yesterday. I noticed how thin they were & that they already had a lot of threads coming out. Now that I've seen your video, I'm going to order from silky socks & try them out. :) I to had to buy a sock jig file just to put inside the socks & of course it wasn't the perfect size so once I put the socks on, they stretched & well you know how that looks with the design 😅 so glad silky socks comes with the insert & I can't wait to get some & try them out! Going to check out your designs to. Thanks again!

Just pressed my first pair of Silky Socks. They are amazing. I really like your suggestion to trim around the design because they lined up perfectly! I did camo blue and put my karaoke business name up in the "toe". Can't wait to make more of these. Ordered some XL for my hubby, so I'll just have to figure out how much larger to make the design, as you only had S, M, L designs. I'm guessing I just need to "stretch" the height slightly. Thanks again for the great video!

@industrialfringe953 Жыл бұрын

That’s fantastic! Yes, Silky Socks rocks! You can absolutely stretch the design. I don’t think you’ll need to stretch much. Be careful that it’s not too wide. You may need to stretch mostly vertically! Thanks so much for watching!

For the bags I purchased to try it myself, I got them on Amazon. If you must go that route, just measure the width and length of the socks you have and search for that size on Amazon.

Hey, Kraig, great question! The Silky Socks website says Medium is a men’s 6 - 9 or a woman’s 7 - 10, and a Large is a men’s 10 - 13 or a woman;s 11 - 14. And based on my wearing experience, that’s right. I’m a size 11 and I wear larges. Silky Socks has a more detailed chart, so be sure to check that out! Thanks for watching!

I guess you could ask them to ship through someone else. I’ve found that, like it or not, most places have a go-to shipper, and it’s often more expensive to have a company use another service. In the case of Silky Socks, it doesn’t matter to me, as I get enough product to qualify for free shipping. And if I were ordering for the first time with a smaller order to see how I like them, I’d be okay with the shipping price…since it would only be a one-time deal! Thanks for watching!
