went to buy a wet suit, they had a sign for "free socks ($50 value) with (brand) suit purchase!" so I ask when I get to the counter. he goes "Really!!!?" like it\'s a mistake, then checks it on the floor, shrugs and brings me over to another shelf. they don\'t have my size. so they have to swap out for a better brand of sock. he pulls out a tape measure to get my calf size, then says "you\'re a 16" and gives me a container. These even better, $59.99 socks are made for professional athletes and only come in sizes 12-20 inch calfs, so apparently I\'m doing pretty good if I\'m right in the middle. supposedly cuts down on lactic acid creation by 29% and decreases perceived effort by 25%" who knows. considering how much a wet suit costs I see it as a decent deal, but seriously, who would normally buy $60 socks! :lol:
you have to love shopping in the westport/greenwich area.
