Avoid Injuries with the Right Pair of Running Socks

Running, just like other activities, may stress your feet and cause injuries like calluses and blisters. Fortunately, you can reduce your chances of being injured by getting enough protection for your feet every time you go out for a run.

Compression Socks Can Help with Varicose Veins

Monday, February 6, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
When people hear of compression socks they often think strictly of diabetic socks. While there are some similarities between the two, there are certainly also differences. In any case, both will probably help you with your varicose veins.

Smartwool PhD Graduated Compression Light Over the CalfVaricose veins are a result from blood pooling in the legs when blood circulation slows down. Added pressure put on the legs, such as if someone has a job standing all day, can irritate and cause varicose veins, and they can become painful if they are left untreated. However, surgery isn’t usually necessary – a pair of health socks might do the trick.

These socks are health socks that contain bands up the leg, applying constant pressure, and getting the blood flow moving again. In addition to helping with the actual veins, these socks can also offer great relief from the discomfort felt while suffering from varicose veins.

Often people who have had surgery for their varicose veins often turn to these kinds of medical socks after their surgery, and continue to where them from then on. This is because not only can these socks relieve the pain and help get rid of varicose veins, but it can also prevent them from appearing at all.

At Amazing Socks we have many different kinds of socks that can help you with varicose veins and other health conditions affecting the feet and legs too. And, they come loaded with features such as double layers and moisture wicking fabric too!

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.

When Skating, Don’t Forget your Double Layer Socks!

Thursday, February 2, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Do you play hockey or ice skate? Whether you’re doing it competitively or just for something WrightSock Anti-Blister Double Layer Walking Crew Sockfun to do on a Saturday afternoon, one of the biggest mistake skaters make is doubling up on the amount of socks they’re wearing, wearing one pair right over top of the other. This is often done for two reasons: to keep the feet warm, and make the space inside the skate as tight as possible (something every skater knows is important in their skates!) But as common as the practice is, it can also cause a lot of problems.

Wearing two pairs of socks while skating can result in things like foot mildew, rashes, and even blisters, which will keep you from skating for a while! Instead, double layer socks are a much better option. These socks are like a regular pair, but they have another layer that’s fitted right on top so you get all the warmth and fit, without any of the discomfort.

Smartwool and Wrightsock double layer socks both have this unique feature; and Wrightsocks also come with special anti-blister protection, to keep you enjoying your skate for much ice time to come.

At Amazing Socks we know just how seriously skaters take their socks. That’s why we provide Wrightsock anti-blister and Wrighstock coolmesh double layers at discounted prices that are far less than you’ll find in retail stores. Because whether your feet are twisting and turning in double axles, or they’re skating towards the puck, you need to keep them protected!

Toe socks are now so popular in fact that they come in many different styles, patterns, and fun colors!

How to Wear Compression Socks Properly

Thursday, February 2, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Are you at risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)? Do you have diabetes? If you answer yes to any of these questions, you may be required to wear compression socks. These are socks that help prevent the formation of clots or blockages by improving circulation in your lower extremities. Here are some tips you can follow when wearing this type of socks.

compression socksConsult Your Doctor
If you have a health problem, specifically one that affects your blood circulation, it is imperative that you consult your doctor first before buying your first pair of socks. This sock comes in different sizes with varrying pressure and support. Wearing a pair of compression socks with the wrong measurements may cause you more harm than good.

Elevate Your Legs Before Putting Your Socks On
If your legs are already swelling and are painful, it will be hard for you to put on socks. To avoid discomfort, allow your legs to relax for a few minutes by elevating them. Your legs must be at least 45 degrees higher than your heart.

Avoid Folds/Creases
Avoid unnecessary pressure on your legs by making sure you pull your sock all the way up its entire length. You may opt for compression socks that are also non binding socks to ensure that blood will flow freely to and from your legs and feet.

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!

 

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!

Boxers or Briefs?

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
Yes, it’s the age-old question for many men – boxers or briefs? Really, it’s just a matter of comfort for most men. But, does one hold certain advantages over another?

High-quality boxers such as Munsingwear boxers can be more comfortable for many men Munsingwear Mid Rise Pouch Brief - 3 Packbecause they aren’t as constrictive and allow for more air flow. Some men also like the fact that the front openings on boxers are larger and therefore easier to use. Of course, some men just prefer boxers because they can be worn around the home just like shorts and they can also improve the look of a man’s physique if he’s a little self-conscious about his middle section.

But boxers aren’t everything in men’s underwear! Of course there are briefs too, and these also come with their own advantages. Start by choosing a quality name like Munsingwear briefs to find comfortable briefs that won’t bunch or bulge, and that will provide ultimate support, complete with elasticized legs.

Many times people think that boxer-briefs are the only solution when men want to get the best of both worlds, but thermal underwear can be too – especially in these colder months! Thermal underwear won’t bunch up underneath pants and still provide the utmost in support but they’re also not constricting, allowing for air flow and more comfort, just as boxers do.

Whether you’re looking for boxers, briefs, thermals, and yes, even boxer briefs, come see us at Amazing Socks. We have everything you need to keep you in ultimate comfort whatever your preference is!

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 by Jennifer Dean
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 Kamik Kid's Snowkone 5 Insulated Rubber Bootswardrobe, no matter where they live, is rain boots.

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!
