Cosy Toes was created approximately four years ago. I couldn't find wool socks for my two sons (aged one and four) and just couldn't believe that New Zealand, with a strong sheep heritage had a lack of wool socks for our children! We would go out and I'd have wool socks on but I just couldn't bare the boys having cold socks on. Through searching on the internet and asking friends I came to continuous dead ends. I began ringing around sock factories in New Zealand. And man are there a lot of sock factories in New Zealand when you start ringing around. Finally a break through when I found a manufacturer. One thing led to another I guess and I'm not sure looking back why I decided to SELL them! I thought if Cosy Toes didn't work then at least my boys would have warm feet. When my boys had wool socks on and their warm feet sorted I became absolutely passionate about children having warm feet. I'm a wool sock junky now and cannot stand it when I see kids on a cold day wearing acrylic, thin socks.
The photo to the top right is of Logan when he was approximately nearly 2 years old and myself and Drew who was 4 years old. We were modelling the socks on our hands in the wool shed.
