Teko socks – beyond organic – beyond best price

Crazy closeout deals on performance socks are one of the staples of our store. Sometimes we even joke about changing our name to the Wilderness-sock-exchange. We wouldn’t actually do that of course. That name would imply that we sell used socks – which we don’t – because it would be gross. We just like to chuckle about it every time we get a huge shipment of closeout socks.

Like the other day for instance, we got roughly 1.5 kazillion pair of Teko closeouts. The whole staff was pretty excited. We’ve never sold Teko before, so everyone was super psyched about learning as much as possible about Teko. So Reilly “Fingers” Anderson had an idea. He thought it would be just swell to put on a little puppet show for the staff about the virtues of Teko socks and their sustainable practices. He commissioned me to make a super crappy diorama for his first installment of “Story Time with Uncle Fingers”.
The show was only one act in which one sock-puppet unicorn keeps on trying to explain how awesome and sustainable and affordable Teko socks are while the other sock-puppet unicorn just drinks continuously until he gets alcohol poisoning. It was really moving.
 

The whole staff was blown away by the performance… Except for Butters, who as it turns out is afraid of unicorns.

Everyone else gave rave reviews.

“OMG Bro!!! That was the best puppet show EVER!!! I can’t believe how sustainable and affordable Teko socks are!!!”

-Jason “I climb harder than you” Baker

“Dude. I had no idea what a socially relevant issue sustainable sock manufacturing was. I have to rethink my whole wardrobe now!! Also, I think I'm gonna try to lay off the booze a little!!”

-Brain “the closer” Jacoby

“I don’t understand why my girlfriend gets so annoyed when I watch keeping up with the Kardashians. It’s a genuinely entertaining show!... oh, what are we talking about? Yeah, those Teko socks were a killer buy!! Hella-props to me!!”
- Don “our fearless leader” Bushey

Think affordable, stay sustainable,
