“It’s not about aptitude, it’s the way you’re viewed, so it’s very shrewd to be… very, very Popular like me.”
- Galinda Upland, Wicked

The most beloved person at Shiz University is Galinda (later known as ‘Glinda’), whose good looks and bubbly personality draw admiration from the other students. Inspired by Galinda’s pink couture in the movie, these toe-up socks take style seriously! Shells of ribbing are interspersed with bubbles of lace, with a sleek triangular heel that transitions smoothly to the leg. The left and right socks mirror one another, creating a chic air for the most Popular feet around!
