Sorel Boots

It used to be that the only options hikers had when it came to their footwear wear heavy boots, usually insulated, that came up well above the ankle. They were made for the roughest terrain, and any weather; although they were still the only option for when the weather turned warmer. Today though, the options for hiking gear have come a very long way and those heavy boots have been slimmed and trimmed down, and now many types of hiking shoes can be found. These shoes offer much of the same protection and many of the same features that hiking boots such as Kamik boots and Sorel boots do, just in a more compact version.

So which one should you choose for your hike?

It will really just depend on your preference and the weather. Sturdy, strong boots should still be worn over terrain that’s difficult to cross, as they will provide more support for your feet and ankles. Hiking boots also provide much more warmth, and so should be the only choice when hiking in colder weather.

Hiking boots however, can become extremely hot in the summertime, causing the foot to perspire and become extremely uncomfortable. Also, boots are naturally heavier than shoes and this extra weight can feel especially burdensome when you’re hiking in the heat.

When you need hiking boots or shoes, come see us at Amazing Socks. We have all the footwear you need for your next hike, including Smartwool hiking socks to pair with them!
 

Women have always needed to have a good pair of rain boots on hand to protect their best suits, skirts, and dresses when the weather turned damp and rainy outside. But until recently, rain boots had never really been the focus of a woman’s ensemble but rather, an annoying necessity that was swapped for a pair of glamorous heels as soon as one stepped indoors. Today all of that has changed as the styles of rain boots are ever-changing, making them no longer just functional, but fun too!

High quality rain boots suck as Kamik boots bring some of the biggest style to rain boots today. They come in all kinds of different styles and looks, and are available for men, women, and children too; so by buying Kamik you can rest assured that your entire family is dressed in the highest quality, and the most stylish boots. These boots are so stylish in fact, that spring brides often choose to include them in their wedding photos, whether their bridesmaids are wearing matching boots or coordinating ones. Rain boots are definitely becoming a fun and creative look, indeed!

Sorel boots also provide some of the best and most varied looks in rain boots, from their Joan of Arctic boots lined with faux fur, to their plaid Tivoli moccasin print boots that look great with just about anything. Sorel also brings with each pair a very sophisticated look that couldn’t be more fitting for today’s sleek and modern fashion world.

When it’s time for you to choose the next piece of your wardrobe, and you want it make a splash, come see us at Amazing Socks. We’ve got all the boots you need, and lots of running socks, wool socks, and tennis socks to wear inside them, too!
 

Rain boots have come a very long way since the time when the only color available was yellow, and your only choice really just came down to the size that you wanted. Today you can find them in just about any size, shape, color, pattern, and print and because of that, you can find rain boots just about anywhere – from going online to your local corner store. But when it comes to the rain boots you choose, it’s true that you get what you pay for, and you’re much better off choosing boots of high quality, rather than trying to pinch pennies.

High-quality rain boots, such as Kamik boots or Sorel boots, will always be the best bet in keeping your feet warm and dry during the drizzly days. While cheaper versions may have loose stitching, or stitching that breaks easily after just a few wears, the stitching on these designer boots is extra durable and guaranteed to keep your feet warm and dry for years to come.

Designer names such as Kamik and Sorel will also always be the most comfortable on your feet – something that low-quality boots can’t do. Because of the overall design of a rain boot, it’s hard to incorporate an arch and cushion support, while still keeping the rubber that typically makes the boot waterproof; this results in a boot that can be very hard on the feet. Kamik and Sorel both do a great job of incorporating the most important design elements, while keeping your feet comfortable at the same time.

When trying to choose the right rain boots, choosing only the highest quality will always be your best bet in knowing that you’ve made the right decision. And when you need the very best, come see us at Amazing Socks. We have all the rain boots you need, and Smartwool hiking socks to go with them and keep your feet extra dry!
 

It's that time of the year when you might be putting away your winter gloves, boots, scarves and jackets. Knowing the proper way to clean and store your leather gloves will help you preserve them. This way, you won't have to buy a new pair when the time comes that you need them again. Here are some tips you can follow. 

Cleaning Leather Gloves

Some of the things you'll need to clean your gloves are a clean rag, Leather cleaner & conditioner and water. Turn your winter gloves inside out and wipe them with a damp rag. Let the gloves dry before turning them right-side out. A common mistake some people do is to blow them dry with warm air. Doing this will damage the material. 

Wipe the outer portion of the glove and spray a small amount of cleaner & conditioner. Gently spread the formula in a circular motion using a clean cloth. Make sure not to miss any part of the glove. You may also use the cleaner & conditioner on your leather Sorel boots. 

Storing Leather Gloves

Avoid keeping your gloves in plastic containers. Keep in mind that leather gloves need to breathe. It is best to place them in paper bags or wrap them in a clean cloth before storing them in your drawer. 

Do you need to buy a new pair of gloves? Buying them off season will allow you get great discounts! Check out Amazing Socks and follow us on Twitter for product updates and promos. 

Do you have problems keeping your feet clean and dry, resulting in smelly feet, especially when you take your shoes off? Don’t be embarrassed, it’s much more common than you think. The feet can be a difficult place to keep odor-free, because they are usually kept in tight, dark spaces inside shoes and they create a lot of perspiration – making it damp. These are prime conditions for fungi and other bacteria that can start to grow and cause that unpleasant smell. Luckily, getting rid of it isn’t hard.

Start by washing your feet with a high quality antibacterial soap. This soap will kill any bacteria that are already on your foot, and will thoroughly clean the foot as well. Then choose high quality leather or suede footwear, such as Kamik boots or Sorel boots. These natural materials will allow air to circulate around the foot, but will still keep moisture out as well. In addition to what shoes you wear, the socks you wear with those shoes are just as important. Generally, moisture-wicking socks such as Fox River socks are the best if you have a problem with odor, because they will allow for the best foot ventilation. Air won’t get stale around the foot, and odor won’t build up.

Lastly, use a good foot spray at night to keep them dry and before you put on your socks in the morning, apply a foot powder or zinc cream to your feet. Also, make sure you get insoles that will absorb odor, and that you come to Amazing Socks for all the socks you need to keep your feet happy and odor-free!

 

Because diabetics often suffer from neuropathy, that is damage to the nerves in the feet, it’s especially important that they take good care of their feet. Doing small things to make sure that the feet are kept dry and clean will go a very long way in preventing things like sores and infections from appearing.

Diabetic feet should be washed every day using lukewarm water and mild soaps; make sure that the water is not too hot so that it doesn’t burn, especially if your feet are already numb. While you’re washing, also check your feet over for sores and any areas that are cracking or splitting. When done, make sure to dry your feet thoroughly, as moist conditions promote things like fungus and sores. As soon as they are dry is the best time to trim your nails too, as this is when they’ll be soft. Trimming is important to make sure they don’t cause cuts.

Always cover your feet to help protect them and use non-binding socks or other diabetic socks that won’t irritate the feet. If you’re going to be out in wet conditions make sure that you wear waterproof shoes or boots, and that they are made of leather or suede. When boots are plastic or rubber on the outside for waterproofing purposes, make sure that they have a liner inside, such as Sorel boots for women, which have a removable felt liner.

Taking care of your diabetic feet is important, but can also be stressful. To stop with all the running around and get what you need all in one place, visit us at Amazing Socks. We’ll take care of you, and your feet!

Even though snow is still falling in many areas, it’s time to start thinking about when the rain starts to fall, and everyone starts sloshing around in messy streets and puddles. Rain boots are an essential part of the spring season wardrobe, and just because you’re wearing plastic or rubber doesn’t mean that you can’t still stay in style. Here are the hottest rain boot trends for 2012.

For those that like to use the first sprouts of spring to rough it on the trails or campgrounds, there are the Timberland Men’s Classic boots or for women, Sorel boots in the Cumberland insulated design. Both are meant to stand up to harsh elements for hours, while keeping feet warm and dry. Kamik boots offer a great solution for women who need to take on a sleeker approach in their fashion, with elegant knee-high rain boots or boots that come with fun patterns. Kamik also offers boots for kids too, that are just stylish and can match their mom’s! Big, bright colors don’t seem to be as popular as they were last spring, with this year’s lines going back to more neutral colors such as black, white, and grey.

Whatever your style, it’s important that you’re prepared for the wet, damp conditions that spring can bring and that you’ve equipped yourself with a good pair of rain boots. When you need to find the pair that’s right for you, come see us at Amazing Socks. We’ll even point you in the direction of the best Smartwool socks  to wear with them – to keep your feet even dryer.
 

You might think that you already know the reason for needing to make sure that your child’s boots are waterproof: because you don’t want their feet getting wet in the cold and harsh weather. But, there are other reasons why you want to make sure that your child’s boots are waterproof, and you have to take them into consideration before you even buy the boots.

If you don’t buy boots that are waterproof when you get them, you’ll need to do it yourself, which is most commonly done through a spray. This doesn’t guarantee that the boot will be completely waterproofed, and it can take some time. Instead buy boots such as Sorel boots for your kids, which are already 100% waterproof when you get them. It will save you time, and buying boots that are already waterproofed have more  benefits too.

Because waterproofing is often done through the use of materials, such as plastic or nylon, buying waterproofed boots also ensures that they’ll be easy to wipe clean – another huge plus when looking at kids’ boots! Unlike leather or suede, which can be difficult to clean (especially those nasty salt stains!) all you need for these boots is a damp cloth.

Even with waterproof boots, you need to make sure that the little feet inside stay as warm and dry as possible, and that’s why you should always pair these boots with wool socks such as kids’ Smartwool socks. These will pull moisture away from the skin, and the thick wool fabric is a great insulator!

When you want to buy Smartwool socks for your kids or are looking for kids’ boots, come see us at Amazing Socks. We have a huge variety, and all of it will keep your kids toasty warm!

Kids need all kinds of different boots, especially if you live in an area that experiences many different seasons and climates. One type of boot that needs to be a part of every child’s wardrobe, no matter where they live, is rain boots. Rain boots are important to keep your child’s feet warm and dry when it’s drizzly outside, and they come in all kinds of fun colors to make splashing in puddles even more fun!

You might not think that the color of your child’s rain boots matters very much, but they certainly will! And the more they like the color, the more likely they are to actually wear the boots! Kamik boots come in different colors for both boys and girls. Choose lilac for that princess in your life and see how excited she is, or choose a navy color for that little man and make him feel just like his daddy!

If you do happen to live in an area that experiences wet and cold conditions, choosing a waterproof winter boot, such as Sorel boots can be a great way to take care of two issues at the same time. These boots have a removable liner, for those days when it’s more wet than cold, and have a drawstring that will keep both rain and snow out!

If your child needs rain boots or winter boots, come see us at Amazing Socks. We have all the different styles your kiddies will love, and of course lots of socks (like Wigwam socks!) to go in them!

Did you know that when you’re not wearing the proper footwear during the winter frostbite can develop in just a matter of minutes? Frostbite is most likely to occur on areas of the body that are furthest away from the heart. And your feet are about as far from your heart as you can get! This is why proper winter boots might be the most important part of your winter gear.

Styles such as ankle boots or hiking boots are not proper boots to be wearing during the winter months, as they simply do not protect your feet enough. Unfortunately, too many people think that these types of ankle boots are perfect for cold weather, before finding out too late that they are not. When the temperature is below freezing outside, and especially if conditions are snowy and icy, you need long boots that travel at least to the mid-calf to keep out all of the harsh elements. You can even find boots, such as Sorel boots that also come lined with fleece or faux fur to keep your feet even warmer.

And don’t forget about what goes inside your boots either – you need the right socks! In this case, hiking socks such as Smartwool socks can do double duty, keeping your feet warm and wicking away moisture at the same time so it doesn’t sit on the skin.

We have everything you need to keep your feet warm and frost-bite free during the colder months. Just stop in at Amazing Socks and see how we can help!

Buying winter boots for your kids can be a lot of fun, but there’s a lot more to look at than just the different styles. Winter boots are essential winter gear and need to properly fit your child and be able to properly protect their feet from the harsh winter elements. So how do you make sure that they do just that?

The size of the boot is the first and most important thing to look at when choosing a kids’ winter boot. Many parents think that they should buy a boot that’s slightly too large so that their child can grow into it. However, a boot that’s too large will only cause your child’s foot to slip and slide inside the boot, which could cause discomfort and maybe even blisters. When your child tries on a boot, feel along the toe line for their big toe; there should be about thumb’s width between the toe and the end of the boot.

Second only to size is the matter of waterproofing, and the point cannot be stressed enough. With all the snow, slush and sleet, fur and fleece lining within winter boots simply is not enough. Make sure that not just the sole of the boot is waterproof, but the sides as well, to protect against all the splashing and slopping around snow banks. Sorel boots are one of the most popular waterproof boots for kids – and they’re protected for temperatures as low as -40 degrees!

When it’s time to buy winter boots for your kids, check out our selection at Amazing Socks. While you’re there, check out SmartWool kids socks, too – the best thing to protect your child’s feet inside the boot!
