Introduction: not all socks are created equal

Clarification:

You might be asking yourself, "what's the difference between the urban model and the classic tall model?" Well, the urban model has a higher shaft, is padded throughout the entire bottom part, and has an elastic zone that goes from the ankle to the calf (a larger space than the classic). Both, however, are made with organic cotton.
