Proper Dress Sock Etiquette

Saturday, February 4, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Maybe you’ve never given much thought to your dress socks before, simply pulling out whatever you saw first in your drawer and matching them with your best suit. But there is a whole etiquette involved with formal socks and while things like color and model might not matter to you, they certainly do in the etiquette world!

Gold Toe Men's 3 Pack Extended Size Cotton Fluffies CrewThe most common mistake people make when pairing their socks and dress shoes is to match the sock to the shoe and not the pant. In fact, it is your pants and socks that should match. And while you might not think there’s a huge difference between black Gold Toe dress socks and navy blue, the difference is huge (and obvious) to many. Choose socks that match the pant, not that are similar in color.

While it may be tempting to wear running socks in lieu of formal socks, this too is something that should never be done. Dress shoes are generally not made for the thicker material that athletic socks usually bring, and athletic socks are most often also white – often the worst color that you can wear with dress pants!

Many men don’t want to have to worry about dressing up, let alone worry about the socks they’re going to wear with their suit! At Amazing Socks we help you out by bringing you a huge selection of socks to pick and choose from. So you can be comfortable and proper, all at the same time!

Benefits of Wearing Compression Socks for Athletes

Friday, February 3, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Compression socks are often used by people diagnosed with Diabetes to improve circulation in the lower extremities and avoid injuries. Aside from this function, these socks can also be used by athletes to help them improve their performance in their chosen sport. Here are some benefits athletes will get from compression socks.

Increased Endurance
Increased circulation in the legs and feet means there is also increased oxygen circulating the lower extremities. An increased oxygen level means a lower Lactic Acid level. A high Lactic Acid level produces pain in the legs. If an athlete experiences less pain, he or she will be able to last longer in the game or race and perform better.

compression socksComfort
Ordinary socks can sometimes be uncomfortable, especially if they are very tight around your ankles or knees. You will find compression socks that are also non-binding socks. Aside from this feature, there are socks, like those from SmartWool Socks, that have moisture-wicking abilities to keep your feet dry at all times.

A pair of Smartwool PhD Graduated Compression Ultra Light Over the Calf socks are one of the most popular socks athletes when training and joining competitions. These socks are effective in reducing fatigue and speeding up muscle recovery.

Thursday, February 2, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
You’ll notice the difference in Injinji toe socks the first time you look at them. These socks are unique in that they have separate, individual pockets for each of your toes. Slip them on, and you might notice some other differences – the way they feel between your toes, and the way your feet look in them.  But those differences are just what set these socks apart from the crowd, and what makes them the best socks you’ll ever own.

Because your toes are all individually protected, they don’t rub together, causing less friction and not just fewer blisters – no blisters!

Whether you’re wearing them for a run or for fun, come to Amazing Socks when you’re looking for the perfect toe socks, and get them at a discount too!

Toe Socks are More Than a Fashion Statement!

Friday, January 27, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Injinji Outdoor Nuwool Quarter Toe SockOften when people first think of toe socks they think of the fun knee-highs that often come in rainbow colors, with each toe decorated in a different hue. While these socks definitely are fun and let you show off your personality, there are other types of these socks, such as Injinji toe socks that hold many more benefits than just simply being fun to wear.

Toe socks can help prevent blisters in between the toes, a soft area where blisters can be especially painful due to the constant friction of the toes rubbing together. And have you ever tried to put on socks under a pair of flip-flops? While socks are sometimes necessary under flip flops, especially when you are walking for a long time, wearing a regular pair can be extremely uncomfortable when worn in this fashion. Instead, socks that come with a split toe are the perfect walking socks when you need the best of both worlds.

Of course, if you’re just looking for comfort socks that also have a little flair to them, the colorful toe socks that were the first to showcase the many benefits (and the unique style!) are always a good choice. But you’re still not limited to just the rainbow. These socks come in a huge variety of patterns and styles so that you can pick a sock to fit your mood, and keep your feet healthy all at the same time!

Frostbite Comes Fast, But the Right Boots Can Help!

Wednesday, January 18, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Did you know that when you’re not wearing the proper footwear during the winter frostbite Sorel Women's Wicked Work Bootscan 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!

How to Wash SmartWool Socks

Saturday, December 31, 2011 by Jennifer Dean
SmartWool socks can be a dream. They can often be the only things to warm us up on a chilly day and are great for taking along on a hike or camping trip, because they dry quickly and are lightweight, despite their ability to retain heat. But, these wool socks can quickly be ruined if you wash and/or dry them improperly even once.

Point 6 Snowboard Light Cushion Over the CalfThe most important thing to know about these wool socks is that they should never be placed in a washing machine or a dryer. Wool, while being incredible durable during wear, becomes quite fragile in the rigors of the washing machine and this can cause them to quickly lose their shape. Socks from Smartwool are Merino wool socks, and as such they are a bit more durable than other types of wool. But a washing machine will still cause them to become misshapen and will also make them shrink.  

You can wash wool socks by soaking them in lukewarm water with a  small amount of detergent (that you’ve spot-tested beforehand, of course.) If you’re washing a pair of kids’ Smartwool socks, or another pair that’s especially dirty, gently but firmly rub detergent in circular motions with your hands before placing under running water to rinse clean. After you’ve washed your wool socks, lay them flat to dry, but make sure that air can circulate fully around the socks to allow them to dry even more quickly and thoroughly.

When you’re looking for the best wool socks to keep you warm during even the coldest nights, visit us at Amazing Socks. We’ll give you a huge selection, and some tips on caring for those items too!

As people continue to try and improve their own health in everything they do, and wanting to be as comfortable as possible when they do it, there’s a lot of talk about socks and which ones are best for your feet. While there are many specialized socks ranging from compression socks to double layer socks, which ones are best for every day?

ProFeet USPS Black Cushioned Health SockReally any sock that you find comfortable is going to be the perfect sock for every day; and you’ll still benefit from the features that come with athletic socks, even if you’re not really sweating it out while in them. But you may not need all of those features, and you should keep in mind that while nice, you may not want to pay for them all either.

Health socks can be a great option for those that are looking for an everyday sock, especially those with sensitive skin.  These socks are especially made for those that have a bad reaction to the dyes found in many fabrics. By wearing them, you’re keeping your feet protected from irritants all day long, so you won’t even have to think about your feet. Plus, these socks are made from a fabric of cotton and acrylic blend. This is ideal for when you just need a really comfortable sock because the cotton, which can’t be found in athletic socks, provides that comfort; and the acrylic allows it to still be breathable and well-ventilated.

When Hiking, Wear the Sock Right for the Job!

Monday, December 26, 2011 by Jennifer Dean
So often when people set out for a long trek in the trails they spend a great deal of time SmartWool® Men's Adventurer Crew Hiking Sockworrying about their footwear. Of course, you want to make sure that you’re wearing great shoes with proper grip and that will keep you protected from wet conditions. But you also need to worry about what’s inside the shoe – you need to think about your socks and determine if they’re the right hiking socks for the job!

Many people think that cotton socks are the best choice for hiking because they are so soft and feel so comfortable when you first slip them on your foot. But, cotton doesn’t wick the perspiration away from your foot; and after a few hours of wearing them, you’ll find that your feet are uncomfortable and may even develop a condition such as athlete’s foot after your stroll. Instead, wool socks such as Smartwool Hiking Socks are a much better choice. Wool socks are made of natural fibers and so they are warm and will dry naturally on their own should they become wet. And even if that happens, wool socks will still keep you warm, whereas cotton will not.

You’ll find discount Smartwool socks, as well as any other socks you need for your hike, at Amazing Socks, and at great prices too. Because we know how important it is for you to protect your feet, and we don’t think you should pay too much to do it!

Don’t Double Socks, Double the Layers!

Monday, December 26, 2011 by Jennifer Dean
So often when people are going ice skating, roller skating, or any other activity that’s going to be hard on their feet, they double up on their socks, putting one right on top of the other. WrightSock Non-Elastic Double Layer Xtra Wide Crew SockPeople do this because they think they’re protecting their feet but in fact, this actually hurts them.

Putting one running sock on top of another only means that there will be more room for those socks to move around, and more friction will be created. This is going to give you more blisters – along with all the other things you’re trying to avoid by doubling your socks.  In addition to that, two pairs of socks will make your feet much bigger (even if you can’t tell just by looking) and this will make your shoes too small – something that’s disastrous for feet. 

Instead, use double layer socks. What’s the difference? These socks are one sock, but with layers to make it feel as though you are wearing two. The difference is that the friction then only occurs inside those layers, leaving your feet blister-free, and warm too! There are also many non-binding socks in this style so that you not only keep your feet warm but can keep circulation going too – something that’s vital when trying to stay warm!

With so many options, there’s never any reason to suffer with blisters and cold feet any more. Stop doubling up on socks and instead come to Amazing Socks and find one pair that will do the job!
