Have Injinji Toe Socks AND Blisters?

Thursday, March 15, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Injinji toe socks – they can be every runner’s dream! These socks are designed very much like a glove for the hand, with individual pockets for each individual toe. That design makes these socks especially useful Injinji Outdoor Nuwool Crew Toe Sockwhen used as walking socks or running socks. Because the toes don’t rub against each other in an enclosed space, there is less likelihood of blisters forming; keeping runners and walkers on the track longer. In the rare instance though, those who wear Injinji socks might find that they still develop blisters on their feet while on them for long periods of time.

With socks made specifically to avoid that from happening, why does it?

The culprit is most likely not the socks at all but rather, the shoes that you’re wearing with them. Even with no friction at all between the toes, if you’re wearing the wrong size of shoe, friction will still occur and blisters will still appear. A shoe that is too small will cause the toes to be squeezed together, causing friction even with the individual pockets. But a shoe that’s too large on the other hand, will allow too much room for the foot to move around. When that happens, the toes will move around in the shoe, creating friction that even the pockets can’t protect against.

Injinji socks are very effective at preventing blisters and will be some of the most comfortable socks you’ll ever wear while running or walking for long periods. If you wear Injinji and still find that you often get blisters, check your shoes and see if the problem lies there. And if you’ve never tried Injinji socks before, come see us at Amazing Socks. We’ve always got tons of styles in stock!
 

How the Right Running Socks can Help Flat Feet

Wednesday, March 14, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Fox River Socks Wick Dry Running Quarter SockIf you’ve ever experienced a sharp pain all along the entire bottom of your foot, there’s a good chance that your arch has fallen. A fallen arch, also known as flat foot syndrome or flat feet, occurs when the arch of the foot doesn’t get enough support. When that arch falls, the bottom of the foot becomes entirely flat and that’s when you’re going to feel the pain. Flat feet do need to be treated right away, but there are simple things you can do to treat it when it occurs.

Most people who find that their arches fall often are those who don’t wear shoes for most of the day. Shoes generally always have a defined arch to fit along the one in the foot and that gives the arch all the support it needs. However when you’re not wearing shoes, you’re not getting that support and your arches are more likely to fall. The best treatment then, is to wear shoes whenever you can, even when you’re at home, and even when you’re inside. It’s really the only way to get your arches back up.

In addition to wearing shoes whenever possible, wearing running socks or walking socks that have a defined arch area, such as Fox River socks, will also provide additional support and will help reinforce your arch.

Flat feet is a painful condition; and if left untreated, it’s something that could require surgery at some point. Wear good shoes and the proper socks that will provide you with all the support you need and keep it from getting any worse – or from ever occurring in the first place!

How to Repair Socks without Darning

Monday, February 27, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Darning does seem to be a dying art form, but that doesn’t mean that socks no longer get holes in them. So when that happens, must you simply be content with throwing them out and buying new? Or is there a way to fix your favorite running socks without darning?

WrightSock Anti-Blister Double Layer Walking Crew SockThere is, and it’s a pretty easy one. Start by finding the matching sock, or another spare pair of walking socks along with a small ball that will fit inside the sock. Cut a small patch that will amply cover the hole and place it smoothly over the ball. Then, holding onto both, slide the ball inside the sock until the patch covers up the area that needs to be repaired.

The last step is to sew a whip stitch. If you don’t know what that is, they’re one of the easier stitches to use. Start by looping the thread through both materials 3 – 4 times to make sure that it will stay in place while you sew the rest. Then using 1/8” of a stitch sew around the edge of the patch and continue. Continue working this way until it’s completely sewn into place.

Once done, sew 3 – 4 times to secure once again and then just clip the thread and remove the ball from the sock. You’re finished repairing the sock and now, you can save all your valuable work socks and other types of socks instead of throwing them away.

And, when your socks really can be repaired no more and it’s time for new ones, check us out at Amazing Socks; we’ll get you set up with quality socks, that won’t need repairing!

Compression Socks Can Help Prevent and Even Treat Varicose Veins

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
People who stand for a long time are at risk of developing varicose veins. Varicose veins can cause leg pain, difficulty walking, leg heaviness and severe complications like blood clot formation or thrombophlebitis. You can reduce the chance of developing varicose veins by moving your legs once in a while especially when standing for a long time. This is to prevent blood flowing from slowing down and pooling in your veins. Another way to reduce varicose veins is by wearing compression socks.
Compression Socks
Veins have valves that allow one way flow of blood. When these valves become inefficient, they allow blood to flow back. With the pull of gravity, the blood causes the vein to enlarge. The slowed flow of blood causes more complications and eventual development of varicose veins. Compression walking socks can help prevent the formation and even alleviate the symptoms of varicose veins. These socks work by putting just the right amount of pressure on the legs. This causes the veins to be smaller and the valves to work properly.

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!
