Tennis Socks Need to Look Sporty and Be Supportive

Sunday, May 20, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Balega Socks Enduro Crew Socks Tennis is one of those sports where the simple truth is that your outfit is a large part of the game. Everyone wants to look good on the court while making sure that their outfit still allows them to play the best game possible, right down to their shoes and socks. This is why when most people are choosing their tennis socks, they settle on low-cut tab socks or no-show socks that can hardly been seen under their shoes. However when you’re playing tennis, your ankles are under quite a bit of stress, and these socks may not provide enough support for them.

Typically these shorter socks are meant to be worn more as running socks than they are for running, because the ankles don’t need quite as much support during a run than they do on the tennis court. On the court, players are often bouncing around on their toes, jumping up to serve or keep a ball from going out of bounds, and stretching their bodies across the court in order to keep the ball in play. All of this means a lot of hard work done by, and a lot of stress placed on, your ankles; and it’s for this reason that wearing the proper socks is important.

When you need the perfect pair of socks to give you all the support you need on the court, you’ll find them in our huge selection at Amazing Socks. We’ve got great brands like Balega, Wigwam socks, and Fox River socks, and your feet can reap the benefits of all of them!
 

Want to Leave the Tennis Socks at Home? Reconsider!

Friday, May 18, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Whether spring has just sprung or it’s still the middle of winter, many people choose not to wear socks in their shoes – no matter what they’re doing, no matter the weather outside. But choosing to forego socks in favor of bare feet in your shoes can have some significant consequences.

Balega Socks Enduro Crew Socks The first, and most obvious, problem with going barefoot in shoes is that your feet will get colder quicker – and then so will you, too. This is a particular problem in the colder months, especially if snow and ice can slip inside your shoe and rest against your bare skin. This could lead to serious conditions such as frostbite; but even in the hottest months, problems arise when you don’t pair socks with shoes.

The biggest problems are odor and mildew, two conditions that can not only be uncomfortable and embarrassing, but a real health hazard too. When the feet perspire and there is no sock to absorb that perspiration or, even better with socks such as Wrightsock Coolmesh, wick it away off the skin, it then settles into the shoe. There it can grow into a number of things including yeast, fungus, bacteria, viruses, and plantar warts. Even a small pair of tennis socks is enough to prevent these problems.

If you find socks to be truly uncomfortable when you wear them, make sure that you do find moisture-wicking socks that will prevent your feet from feeling “closed in,” and will keep them cool. Non-binding socks can also help prevent the tightness many feel when wearing socks, and keeps them from wearing them in the first place.

If you’re certain that going barefoot is more comfortable than wearing socks with your shoes, come see us at Amazing Socks. We’ll show you all the options that will keep your feet comfy and healthy, and you happy too!

Thursday, May 3, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

http://photos.amazingsocks.com/300/ek2280-kamik-womens-jennifer-rain-boots-green-17890.jpgWomen 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.

How to Buy the Proper Size of Gold Toe Dress Socks

Wednesday, April 25, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Gold Toe 3 Pr. Pack Windsor Wool OTC Dress SockWhen it’s time for you to buy a new pair of socks such as Gold Toe dress socks, you might think it makes sense to just buy the same size of sock as the size of shoe you wear. That logic is sound, and works well if you happen to come across socks that are numerically sized. However, when your choices of tennis socks and other socks are only small, medium, and large, how are you supposed to know which size you fall into?

Following the same guidelines as standard sizing charts are usually a good way to make sure you end up with properly sized socks for you. For women’s socks, a small size will usually fit a shoe size of 7 – 9; medium will typically fit a foot sized 9 – 11; and large socks will fit those in the range of 10 – 12.

Men’s socks, such as men’s Smartwool socks, are sized just slightly bigger than women’s socks. A small men’s sock will usually fit a shoe size of 8; a medium will fit a size 10 - 11; a large a size 12; and extra-large socks will comfortably fit a size 14.

It can be frustrating to find a good pair of socks, and not know which size is going to fit you. And getting the right fit is important to get the most comfort out of the sock. At Amazing Socks, we give sizing guidelines on most of our socks, making it easier for you to shop and get the socks right for you.
 

Why “Hot” Tennis Socks Might be Causing Your Feet to Burn

Tuesday, April 24, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Many times people experience a burning sensation in their feet, either consistently or at random intervals, Balega Socks Enduro Crew Socks and not know how to cure it. While this condition, known as burning feet, can seem like cause for concern, it’s generally not and often can be relieved simply by changing the socks you wear.

Fibers in certain socks such as running socks and tennis socks, don’t wick moisture away from the skin, and this can often cause a burning sensation in the feet. This is because the foot will become warm and fabrics such as cotton offer very little ventilation and breathing room for the feet. Perspiring will soon start and these fabrics will also leave that sweat on the skin, causing the foot to only get hotter and burn even more. Instead, wearing Wrightsock Coolmesh socks, or breathable and moisture-wicking Smartwool hiking socks are a much better choice and will keep your feet much cooler.

The same rules that apply to wearing socks when suffering from burning feet also applies to your shoes. Leather or suede shoes that have no ability to breathe will also cause your feet to burn, and mesh panels or shoes that have an opening in the toe or upper of the shoe. This will keep moisture away, your feet cool, and that burning sensation at bay.

When you need to change your socks to try and get rid of your burning feet, come see us at Amazing Socks. We have brand names like Wrightsocks, Smartwool, and more!

Why Non-Binding Socks are so Important for Diabetics

Sunday, April 22, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

If you’ve worn even just a couple of pairs of tennis socks or Gold Toe dress socks, you’ve probably noticed Diasox Non-Binding Cotton Comfort Crew Sockthat most pairs come with an elastic band at the top. This feature can be useful, especially in dress socks, when you need your socks to stay up and not fall down and bunch up around the ankles. But, this feature can actually be a flaw for diabetics, as that binding can interfere with circulation, something people suffering from diabetes already have a hard time with.

Because diabetics of have high blood sugar levels, this can make arteries less flexible and cause them to block more smoothly and more quickly. All of this leads to poor circulation and anything that constricts the skin, such as the elastic binding or tight stitching found in most other socks, can only compound the problem. Instead diabetics can protect their feet, and their overall health, with non-binding socks.

These socks don’t have anything at the top that can tighten any area of the skin to become constricted, but rather just have a slight trim along the top that is in no way tighter than any other part of the sock. Blood flows more easily throughout the leg and foot, and circulation is less likely to be a problem. Diabetic socks also come with other features such as seamless toes, which reduce irritation, blisters, and infection on the feet – other problems diabetics often have to contend with.
 

Buying Tennis Shoes? Don’t Forget your Tennis Socks!

Thursday, April 19, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

One of the most important pieces of equipment you can wear out on a tennis court are your shoes – Dr. Scholl's Women's Diabetes & Circulatory Ankle Socks in Black - 2 Pair Packthey’re the first things to touch down on the court and they’re what offers the support that let you jump, run and bounce around the court. But when it comes time to buy tennis shoes, many avid players forget to bring one, just as important piece of equipment with them – their socks!

Having the proper socks on when you’re trying to find the right tennis shoes is hugely important and really, it only makes sense. These shoes have to fit snugly so your foot doesn’t move around on the court, but they also can’t be too tight, as they’ll then be too restrictive and could lead to blisters or tightness in the ankle. That’s why you need to have your socks on to see how they accurately fit; and you also need to take in the different kinds of socks you wear on the court.

If you play on an indoor court year-round, you might only need to bring the tennis socks you normally wear during a good game. But if you’re always playing on different surfaces and in different weather, you want to bring all the different pairs you wear including non-binding socks and running socks.

You can wear just about any type of sock that suits your fancy when playing a good game of tennis, even Dr. Scholls socks to provide even more support and comfort. Whatever kind of socks you’re going to wear though, make sure you bring them with you when trying on your tennis shoes. You’ll be amazed at how much better your shoes will fit, and how much it will improve your game!
 

Dress Socks Versus White Socks

Wednesday, April 11, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Do you have all sorts of socks in your drawer? Are you having a difficult time choosing the right kind of socks for your attire? Here is a rule of thumb for you. 

Dress Socks Work and White Socks Play

A common mistake some do is not to bother with the type of socks they wear to the office. After all, they are not easily seen. However, wearing the right type of socks with the right shoes is not only fashionable but comfortable.

White socks can be bulky. Socks like Tennis socks or running socks are made of  a thicker material. This allows the socks to absorb moisture and keep feet dry when you are playing your favorite sport. Wearing them with dress shoes can make your feet very uncomfortable. Also, they may bunch out of your shoes, which isn't a pretty sight. 

If you are wearing dress shoes to work or to go out on a dinner date, make sure to wear dress socks. They are made of thinner materials, which makes them easier to slide into your shoes.

Wearing the right pair of socks creates a more coordinated look. Impress your boss and your date with a great attire! Shop at Amazing Socks and get free shipping for orders more than $57.95.

Missing Socks with Sandals? There’s an Answer!

Wednesday, March 7, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

There was a certain comfort that many people found when wearing running socks with sandals. But when they became one of the biggest fashion faux pas one could make, it seemed that this style had to be given up by its biggest fans. But there is an answer. And it comes in the form of Crocs.

If you haven’t heard of Crocs by now, you’re probably not the socks-and-sandals wearing type anyway. And Sock Guy Women's Butterfly Low Cutif you have, you may have already thought about pairing your favorite pair of tennis socks with this type of rubber footwear. But, is it socially acceptable? Or will it be looked on with the disdain that socks and sandals is?

Turns out, wearing socks with Crocs is not only acceptable, but typical! With so many different styles, including those that include a fur lining, Crocs are now being worn all year long; yet people only wear them barefoot in the warm months. So you can enjoy the comfortable feeling of sandals with the combined warmth of socks, without crossing major fashion boundaries.

And as an added bonus, wearing socks with Crocs can be even more comfortable than wearing socks with sandals. Because Crocs are usually a little wider than the average sandal, you’re not restricted to thin cotton or Lycra socks, but can wear extra-thick Smartwool socks too, for when the weather’s really cold.

At Amazing Socks, we don’t care what your personal style is, we welcome them all! And that’s why we stuff our shelves with tons of variety - to be appreciated by sandal and Croc fans alike!

Friday, March 2, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

When most people think of tube socks, they generally think that they’re any type of long tennis socks or running socks. However, tube socks are an actual type of sock; and while all tube socks might be long, not all long socks are tube socks.

The Railroad Sock King Size Steel Toe Boot SockTube socks are, as their name suggests, one long tube of material with an opening at the top. While they might sometimes have a seam at the toe, tube socks will never have a clearly defined ankle or heel area. The most well-known type of tube socks are those that have been especially popular with athletes since the 1960s and that often have parallel stripes running around the upper elastic.

Because tube socks have also become known as those to wear around the home, they are also thought to be the ultimate in comfort socks. With very few elastics, bindings, or seams, tube socks really can just be slipped on and forgotten about with no bunching or twisting.

It’s true; tube socks are more than just a name given to any standard sock. And they’re also more than just something to stuff into someone’s stocking every year when the holidays roll around. Tube socks are an actual type of sock, and they happen to be one of the most comfortable, and one of the most popular. When you’re looking for tube socks, or any kind of socks to keep your feet warm and healthy, come see us at Amazing Socks. We’ve got all the choices, for all the types of socks that you need.

Another Way to Save Money with Old Socks!

Thursday, March 1, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

You’ve spent your hard-earned money on those socks for yourself and your family. The last thing you want to do is throw them out just because they have a small hole in the heel or are worn through the toe a bit. Luckily, you can do a lot with your old running socks and making a toy for your dog is one of them.

Fox River Socks Merino Hiker SockDog toys, like socks, can sometimes cost a lot of money; and your dog might not even be able to enjoy them for more than a day or two before they become ripped and torn to shreds. However, you can easily turn an old sock into a chew toy that the two of you can play with for hours. Start making your dog toy by choosing an old sock. The longer the better so that you have lots of room to pull; hiking socks are usually a good choice.

Next, choose a ball such as a tennis ball to fit inside the sock. Then, cinch the ball tight to the end and knot the sock just above the tennis ball. The length before the knot will be held by you and your dog will hold the ball in their mouth while playing tug of war with you. Just be sure to put the new toy up whenever you’re not around. Old socks can fray and wear, and you want to make sure your dog doesn’t get into them when you’re not around.

Lastly when your dog has gotten all of your tennis socks and other favorite socks, come see us at Amazing Socks so you can refill your drawer with your own!

Why are Ankle Socks so Popular?

Monday, February 20, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
It used to be that women wore high socks that went all the way up to the knees; and men would wear nothing but long knee-high socks under their suits. Today though, these high socks are a thing of the past and ankle socks have become one of the most popular socks on the market. So why the switch?

Sock Guy Sock Monkey Wool Cycle & Run SockOne reason is simply because as fashion changes, so do socks! Tennis socks have become very popular when worn with skirts of many kinds, and running socks are just as acceptable with much of today’s business clothing as dress socks are. Socks, while usually not the focus of the outfit, are a large part of it; and as our wardrobes change, it’s inevitable that our socks will too.

Another big reason for the switch to ankle socks is because along with our clothing trends, our lifestyles have also changed. As people begin hiking, running, and biking more, they’re looking for socks that are going to help them do that and keep their entire body healthy – including their feet!

Ankle socks also bring the best of both worlds by delivering comforting warmth in the winter months yet being light and breathable enough for the hot summer months too. While they will of course, never take over the world of socks as consumers continue to have different needs and wants, there’s no doubt that ankle socks have made their place in the world of foot fashion – and it looks like they’re here to stay!

Whether you’re looking for tube socks, ankle socks, or crew socks, check out our huge variety at Amazing Socks to get the best quality in whatever kind you choose!

What are Quarter Diabetic Socks?

Thursday, January 26, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Diabetic socks have many great features to them, but so often people mistakenly think that these socks only come in full-length knee-high styles. While these are the most popular type of socks for diabetics, they’re certainly not the only style available.

Smartwool Women's Unwound Non-Bind CrewQuarter socks are also available for diabetics, which still have all of the features of the non-binding socks typically seen in socks for diabetics, but even more so! Quarter socks for diabetics only reach just above the ankle, and so they are especially ideal for people who are bothered by even the slightest elastic or binding feel of socks that sometimes come with crew socks. Diabetics who suffer from severe neuropathy often find this slight binding feeling to be too much to bear.

Quarter socks for diabetics are also called diabetic tennis socks because the two look so similar. However, the two are very different. Quarter socks for diabetics still come with all the features that you’d find in socks for diabetics, such as the extra padding that protects sensitive feet from blisters, and a non-abrasive seam to keep feet from becoming irritated and developing sores so common in the feet of diabetics.

At Amazing Socks we have everything for a diabetic’s needs. Whether you’re looking for a full-length sock to come up right over your calf, or you need a quarter sock that won’t be quite as uncomfortable, we have many different styles to keep you and your feet happy and healthy!
