Travel Socks

Are you getting ready for a trip? One of the problems many travelers encounter is how they can avoid bringing a huge piece of luggage but still manage to fit everything they need with them. If you are having that problem, these tips are for you. 

Use a Backpack or Any Carry-On Bag

The bigger your bag is, the more you'll be tempted to bring a lot of things. Choosing a small bag will also help you save money on your trip, especially if you are traveling by plane.  As you probably know, most airlines charge an additional fee for check-in baggage. 

Bring Only the Basics

Clothes and underwear often take up most of the space in your bag. To avoid bringing the entire closet with you, choose items you can mix and match easily. Also, bring fast-drying items, like Tilley Fast-Drying Travel Socks and cotton shirts. This way, you won't have to bring a lot of clothes. You can bring 2 to 3 pieces per type of clothing and wear them alternately. For example, you only need 2 Munsingwear shirts in your bag. You can wash the dirty one in the evening and let it dry the next day while you wear the other shirt. You may do this with your underwear too. However, it would be best to have 2 extra pairs just in case you won't be able to wash the soiled one at night.

Some people often neglect the importance of choosing the right socks when doing their favorite activities. They buy only socks just for the necessity of wearing them before putting on shoes. It is important to  choose the right footwear to protect feet from blisters or injury.

Some people like to go out and hike, travel or do their favorite sports. They are wearing the best shoes but often, some do not have the best socks. They are not aware that choosing the rights socks is also important because they can protect the feet from injury and unwanted fatigue. There are many sock brands to choose from but only a few provides what your feet need.

When shopping for socks, don’t just think about comfort. You should also consider how a pair of socks can promote proper circulation in the legs and feet. Socks that are too tight prevent the blood from flowing freely to the lower extremities. When this happens, oxygen and other nutrients will not reach your feet. This may result in a wide variety of problems like fatigue and Deep Vein Thrombosis.

People who have circulatory problems like diabetics and those who are going to do some rigorous activities like running, often prefer to use compression socks. Fox River Fatigue Fighter Compression Crew Socks is a popular pair of compression socks. These are designed to withstand cold and hot weather. They effectively prevent fatigue and ensure proper blood circulation while you go about your business. These socks have graduated compression knit that provides additional support to the blood vessels. The cushioned soles protect your feet from shock during high-intensity activities like when playing sports.

When people think of compression socks, they often think that these socks are meant only for diabetics to help with common problems, such as blood that pools in the ankles and the legs. But these socks have been come to be known for so much more than just helping with diabetes; now, they can be used by just about anyone that feels heaviness, numbness, swelling, or aching in their legs – for any reason at all!

Once word spread how good these socks were for helping with the symptoms of diabetes, people began using them as travel socks, too. Because these socks improve circulation and keep blood flowing, even when one is sitting down for long periods such as when on a plane, they are ideal when on long flights.

Cold feet is a problem that many individuals suffer from; and even when they know that poor circulation is to blame for the problem, they don’t know that something that can be done for it. Socks that have compression bands help blood to flow more easily and frequently to and from the heart, so the body stays well circulated and you stay warm – all the way down to your toes.

Anyone who needs relief from tired and achy feet, whether it’s from a long flight or a long day on the job, can appreciate the benefits that socks with compression qualities have to bring. When it’s time for you to start relieving your sore feet, come see us at Amazing Socks. We have many different styles of these styles, and non-binding socks too. So that whatever your sock needs are, we’ve got you covered.

 

You might think that even asking the question of whether or not you should wash any type of sock is ridiculous. But when it comes to compression socks, many people who wear them are under the common misconception that you should in fact, never wash these types of socks. So, should you?

The reason people think that you should never wash these socks, travel socks, or any other kind of health socks are because of the compression and cushion features within many of these socks. The thought is that if you throw these socks into a washer or dryer machine, the compression features in them will be stretched out and destroyed; or that the cushion in them will become flat and lifeless.

In fact, nothing could be farther from the truth.

Failing to wash any of your socks, no matter what kind they are, can actually be very dangerous for your feet when you wear them. It can lead to excess mold or bacteria on the feet, and can even cause infection. And not only that, but not washing them could actually lead to what you’re trying to avoid – destroying the sock! Dirt and excess debris can also weigh down the sock and its special features that make them the perfect sock for you.

All socks will come with their own care instructions, but even all of these types of socks can be machine washed and dried, without fear of ruining the sock. If you have questions about how to care for your most precious socks, contact us at Amazing Socks. We’ll be happy to help, and to show you our huge selection when the time does come to replace your socks!

 

Buying boxers for boys can be a challenge. It’s a time when they don’t want to tell you their preferences, but it’s so important that you buy them the exact thing that they want. So how can you buy the right boxers, and know that they’ll like them and wear them?

The first thing you’ll need to determine when buying boys’ boxers is the size you are going to buy. While the actual size will correspond with their pants’ waist size, you’ll still find that they can also be very baggy or tighter fitting – and this is the size that the boy you’re buying them for will care about the most.

You can find Munsingwear boxers that come in either style. If the individual likes to wear them with today’s hottest trend where they’re visible over the top of the waistband, you’ll want to buy them in a baggier style. If however, they like to wear shorter shorts in the summertime, and not have their boxers visible, even tighter Munsingwear briefs might be more appropriate.  Boys who are heavily into sports and need extra support also find that they prefer tighter briefs or boxer-briefs over boxers alone.

When you need to find the perfect boxers for the boys in your life, come see us at Amazing Socks where we have all the latest styles to choose from. And, we have Munsingwear shirts to go with them, too – something any boy is going to love!

h as switching to a pair of flight socks. However, if not treated, it can become quite serious, making the limbs and joints swell as well and leading to the condition known as deep venous thrombosis.

Something as small as flight socks can help out with so many problems, and we’ve got them all at Amazing Socks! Come check out our huge selection of flight socks for all your travel needs, and never suffer from tired, achy, or bloated feet again!
 

Many people have heard of travel socks or as they’re also often called, flight socks, to help relieve discomfort in the legs and feet during travel time. These socks sometimes have qualities very similar to compression socks, where bands of pressure are applied to the foot and leg, but flight socks can also be non-binding socks. These socks are generally known for relieving tired, achy feet; but they can actually do much more than that – they can stop a condition known as gravitational oedema.

This condition is a result of those tired, achy feet being immobile for several hours, such as when you’re on a long flight. When this condition sets in, the feet move past being just tired and achy, and can actually become quite bloated and swollen. The condition is caused by fluid building up in the feet after long periods of being immobile and inactive (such as when you’re sitting on a plane for long hours at a time.)

When the swelling is kept only to the feet, the condition of gravitational oedema is not serious, and can likely be treated very easily, suc
 

In many parts of the country and the rest of the world, the ice and snow has all melted, the weather’s turning warmer, and the buds have started to bloom. And while along with all of that, people are also starting to bundle up their winter gear and pack away their winter gloves, there are a few that you may want to keep out and pack with your summer gear. Gloves can be useful all year round, and if you plan on taking part in certain summer activities, gloves are a must.

Motorcycle gloves are one type that can be handy during the summer months. These gloves can protect the rider’s hands from chafing, chapping, or being cut by small pieces of debris during the journey. These gloves are often designed from perforated leather, in order to keep hands both protected and cool during those long rides.

Another one of the most popular types of gloves for the summer months are golf gloves. These can be found in both summer and winter styles, for those courses that are open all year round, but still experience cooler months. Tight-fitting in order to ensure the smoothest swing and least interference, these gloves can help performance by improving your grip, and will keep your hands warm, too.

Hiking gloves can also be useful if you’re going to be traveling along rough terrain, and if you’ll also need additional grip. Climates can quickly change as well during certain hikes, such as those going up a mountain, so in this case it’s especially important to be fully prepared for cooler weather by packing other items such as warm Smartwool hiking socks and Indera Men’s Thermals.
 

If you wear compression socks, either for health purposes or as travel socks, you need to make sure that you care for them differently than your regular pair of cotton socks that you wear until holes start to appear. Making sure that the fabric is whole and intact is only one part of caring for socks with compression components. For its those features that require extra special care.

The compression bands that make these socks what they are will break down and start to become looser the more you wear them. And, this can happen even when the rest of the sock looks like it’s in very good condition and could stand years more wear. Because of this, it’s important that you always pay very special attention to the compression bands, and make sure that they’re still as effective as they were the day you got them.

The way you can do that is simply by observing how easy the sock is to put on. These socks, because they are specifically designed to compress and tighten, are generally a little tougher to get on than standard cotton socks; you find they won’t just ‘slip on.’ Once that resistance starts wearing thin and you find it easier and easier to put on the socks, it’s time to get a new pair.

When that time comes, make sure you check us out at Amazing Socks. We’ve got all kinds of compression and health socks and we have them at great prices too, so you can replace them as often as you need without breaking your budget. And, if you need to buy socks for someone else, or don’t need compression all the time, we’ve got thousands of styles of non-binding socks, too.

Travel compression socks are great companions for people who are frequent flyers. Enduring a 13-hour straight flight can be very uncomfortable, especially for your legs. Since you will just be sitting for the majority of the time, the circulation in your lower extremities may be affected.  

Travel socks can help reduce the risk of developing problems like leg pain, cramps and swelling. Here are some tips you can follow when buying a pair.

Before getting a pair of compression socks, make sure to consult your doctor first. Having certain health problems may not allow you to use this type of socks. Some of these conditions are blood clotting problems, poor circulation, pregnancy, Diabetes and Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Once you've received approval from your physician, you can buy these types of socks over the counter. Most OTC socks are made to gradually compress your legs with a strength of 20 mmHg or lower. If you need a pair that has a higher compression rate, you may need to ask for a prescription from your health care provider.

If you are worried about fashion, you can stop worrying now! These types of socks are available in different lengths and styles. You can get knee-high socks, ankle-lengths, dress socks and even hiking socks. You'll definitely find a pair that will cater to your traveling needs.

Not all compression socks are made the same; and if you pick the kind wrong for you, it’s something you’re going to quickly find out. The compression in these socks is measured by the “millimeter of mercury,” mmHg; and how many mmHg you need will depend on what you’re using the socks for.

Socks with a mild compression factor of 8 – 15mmHg are for relief of legs that are simply just tired and mildly sore. This compression has also been shown to help with slight swelling in the ankles. It’s for this reason that these types of socks are being marketed as travel socks.

Socks that have a bit more compression, in the range of 15 – 20mmHg, are known to have moderate compression. These socks are helpful when swelling and soreness is a bit more severe, and when feet and legs are feeling especially fatigued.

Socks with a firm compression measurement of 20 – 30 mmHg are the type that would be considered health socks and are used for actual disorders and conditions. Circulatory disorders, edema, diabetes, and varicose veins are just a few of the conditions that socks with this kind of compression can help.

When you think that socks that have compression capabilities will help you and your tired or vulnerable feet, check out our selection at Amazing Socks. We have them in all the compression ranges that you’re looking for, and a huge selection to go along with each type too.
 

Many people have heard of edema, and the pain it can cause in the legs and feet, but don’t know what it actually is. The condition of edema simply refers to any swelling in the legs and feet; and is caused by excess fluid that lies just under the skin. There are many different reasons why the fluid builds up in the first place, and once there it can be quite painful. But there are things you can do to keep the swelling, and the pain, down.

Edema can be brought on by a number of things including pregnancy, an athletic injury, varicose veins, sitting on an airplane for too long, or even just hot weather. For many of these conditions, compression socks can help reduce the swelling and alleviate the pressure. Travel socks are one kind of sock that has compression components within it and can be great for those who experience swelling in their feet during flight. These can also be especially helpful to those who suffer from feet that are generally overall tired and achy.

It’s important to remember that when you’re wearing health socks to reduce swelling, that you only wear them during the day. Not only do your legs need a break from that pressure, but the socks also won’t do anything for you when you’re lying down flat.

Edema might not be the frightening condition that you first imagine upon first hearing about it. But if left untreated it can become extremely painful. And when something as simple as changing your socks could do it, there’s no reason not to!
 

For people who always travel, it is a good idea to pack light. This reduces the hassle of carrying heavy baggage. However, how do you pack light without running out of something to wear?

Few people have heard of TED socks, and those who do wonder if they’re the same thing as compression socks. In fact, TED socks do contain many similar qualities than those with compression features, but they are for people who are suffering much more greatly and have become immobile due to the chronic pain or numbness caused by edema, paralysis, or those who have pulmonary embolisms in their medical history.

Much like other health socks, TED socks compress the legs to reduce swelling in them and prevent blood clots from forming in them. These socks are usually only required for those that are bedridden due to the condition in their legs, or because they are at high risk for developing deep vein thrombosis. TED socks are generally much more advanced and have quite a bit more pressure than other types of socks with compression features in them.

It’s because of this that doctors don’t recommend TED socks for everyone, but instead usually suggest that patients first try travel socks, or other socks with compression components. TED socks come with a long list of requirements while wearing and patients must take special care to make sure they follow them. Some of those requirements are not to cross the legs, not to crease or wrinkle the socks, and to ensure that they have been properly sized for the TED socks. The socks are not to be worn lightly, and anyone who thinks they may need them needs to speak to their doctor beforehand.

If however, you’re suffering from legs that are just mildly tired or sore and think that socks with mild compression in them might help, make sure you check out our huge selection at Amazing Socks. We have tons of different styles, and at great prices too!

Many people have heard about the type of sock that helps relieve your tired feet and legs when you’re traveling, particularly by plane. But, what are travel socks and do they really work? Or are they just a gimmick sold by airlines and sock companies?

They’re not in fact, just gimmick. These types of socks are actually compression socks and can help relieve a little known condition called “economy class syndrome.” This syndrome is when a small blood clot, painless and not life-threatening, develops during the flight. It’s a condition that affects about 3% - 5% of travelers and of course, doesn’t only affect those in economy class, but those in coach and first class too.

So if it’s not painless and not life-threatening, why do you need to do something about it?

Because it can actually be somewhat frightening. If left on its own, the clot could position itself deep in the veins of the lower leg, somewhere between the ankle and the upper calf typically. From there, it can do pretty serious harm, including traveling up to the lungs.

You most likely won’t run into any of these conditions without your doctor first telling you that you are at risk for blood clots. If you are, it’s important that you speak to them about wearing health socks that could not only help alleviate your tired feet, but also improve your overall well-being too.

If you’re a frequent flyer, or you think you might be at risk for economy class syndrome, come see us at Amazing Socks. We have all of the socks you need to make sure that every flight is a good one!
 

There are many different types of compression socks, the most common being travel socks that can help relieve tired and stressed leagues. However, the kinds of socks have benefits that are good for far more than just making plane rides more comfortable – they’re great for the athlete too!

Socks that have compression elements are especially good for an athlete’s muscles, which can be known to take a beating during a vigorous workout. With this kind of sock however, circulation improves and that pushes toxins and waste out of the muscles faster, helping them heal quicker and help them function better. The compression in these socks also helps prevent the onset of muscle soreness, something that can take the athlete out of the game altogether.

These types of socks are also known to have a tremendous “venous return;” the amount of blood that is pumped back to the heart during exercise. This is important so that the lungs and heart can obtain fresh nutrients to supply fresh oxygen. This is a feature you just won’t find in your ordinary running socks.

Of course, professional athletes can find these types of socks especially useful as they often have to fly back and forth between cities to play in games, and as mentioned, these socks are also particularly helpful during long flights.

Whether you just have tired legs, are in rigorous training, or just need to relieve your tired legs, come see us at Amazing Socks for these and even more sock options!
