Bamboo socks for Christmas? I somehow got my name on a mailing list for a bamboo clothing company and they’ve sent me three pairs of bamboo socks. Honestly the best foot experience of my life.

I echo you, they are lovely. DH bought me some a couple of christmas’s ago and I was less than impressed at getting socks to be honest but they were so comfortable innownonly wear bamboo socks.

By the way, what mailing list did you get on?!

It was BAM - give it a go, I emailed to say I’d been sent three pairs of socks separately but they said it was intentional. Well, it worked- I ended up ordering my hubby some as he’s been trying to steal my freebies (there are free socks with orders too at the moment!). Go forth and embrace foot comfort (I hope you get a freebie or two)!

I've got some bamboo tights from Boots. Blissful!

Totally unimpressed with them myself. Felt very emperor new clothes to me. Got three pairs from two different shops. No you can keep them i prefer cotton socks

Annabel7 · 30/11/2018 22:34

I third you. I got sent some and they're great. I always used to laugh about people who went on about socks and finally I get it...

GimmeBread · 30/11/2018 22:36

Not bamboo, in fact as far from bamboo as you could get but I got alpaca socks, wore them around the house a couple of times then they shrank to baby size in the wash 🤨

My point? I have no idea! 😀

buckeejit · 30/11/2018 22:37

Ooh, I'm lusting after falke wool balance aftett finding some in tk maxx a while ago-subsequent falke good but not as good

GimmeBread · 30/11/2018 22:39

What? BAM Construction? 😀

legolimb · 30/11/2018 22:39

I have loads of BAM items . Hoodies, leggings for gym, vests, and socks galore. They never wear out!

Love BAM

TokyoSushi · 30/11/2018 22:47

I've just added these to my Christmas list!

Lallybroch · 30/11/2018 23:00

I love bamboo socks. They sell them at Tebay services fir £5.95 a pair and every time we go past I just have to buy a pair

babysharkah · 30/11/2018 23:02

I have a couple of pairs. I never realised socks could be so comfortable.

Angie169 · 30/11/2018 23:06

buckeejit Pardon ?

floopyfoo · 30/11/2018 23:12

Can someone post a link to BAM please? I love bamboo socks so much so the idea of other bamboo clothes is making me very happy!

BadlyAgedMemes · 30/11/2018 23:18

I must have defective ones. :( My bamboo socks don't particularly feel any different from my cotton ones (maybe I have uncultured feet?!) and bunch up in my shoes if I actually wear them out of the house.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 30/11/2018 23:26

Ooh we randomly got some BAM socks in the post maybe a year ago. So weird as never heard of them before or since. But this has reminded me. They were sooooo soft, I must buy some for Xmas.

gingergiraffe · 30/11/2018 23:40

OH and I were given Seasalt bamboo sicks last Christmas. We love them. So comfortable and no more smelly, sweaty feet. All the other socks I have in the drawer are now redundant.

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 30/11/2018 23:42

I got DM some. I started an obsession!

Fozzleyplum · 30/11/2018 23:44

Am wearing one of my free pairs of Bam socks now. It seems like a ridiculously generous marketing trick, but it works. I'd only ever buy bamboo socks now I've tried them.

legolimb · 01/12/2018 11:16

Link to BAM bambooclothing.co.uk/
I also have dresses. Lovely in summer as they can be worn more than once- anti bacterial so don't smell so much.

BikeRunSki · 01/12/2018 11:27

I really like BAM stuff, but the socks are nit that hard wearing, despite double thickness heels and toes. We Are Thought (formerly Braintree) bamboo socks are much harder wearing in my experience.

Other BAM garments are very nice thought. I have t shirts that are 2 years old, have been worn and washed at least weekly
and look new.

(I have fallen out with BAM construction professionally though).

Oh I got sent some in the post the other day! Never been so excited to receive free socks. I am going to try them on now.

WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo · 01/12/2018 11:34

I love my bamboo socks, though I got them from We are Thought. I also have some of their t shorts and trousers as "loungewear". They are so comfortable! And feel more civilised than pyjamas (I'm convalescing).

What on earth was said about bamboo socks to get a deleted?
