Need Help Choosing the Right Rain Boots? Choose Kamik or Sorel Boots!

Wednesday, May 2, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Rain boots have come a very long way since the time when the only color available was yellow, and your Kamik Women's Jennifer Rain Bootsonly choice really just came down to the size that you wanted. Today you can find them in just about any size, shape, color, pattern, and print and because of that, you can find rain boots just about anywhere – from going online to your local corner store. But when it comes to the rain boots you choose, it’s true that you get what you pay for, and you’re much better off choosing boots of high quality, rather than trying to pinch pennies.

High-quality rain boots, such as Kamik boots or Sorel boots, will always be the best bet in keeping your feet warm and dry during the drizzly days. While cheaper versions may have loose stitching, or stitching that breaks easily after just a few wears, the stitching on these designer boots is extra durable and guaranteed to keep your feet warm and dry for years to come.

Designer names such as Kamik and Sorel will also always be the most comfortable on your feet – something that low-quality boots can’t do. Because of the overall design of a rain boot, it’s hard to incorporate an arch and cushion support, while still keeping the rubber that typically makes the boot waterproof; this results in a boot that can be very hard on the feet. Kamik and Sorel both do a great job of incorporating the most important design elements, while keeping your feet comfortable at the same time.

When trying to choose the right rain boots, choosing only the highest quality will always be your best bet in knowing that you’ve made the right decision. And when you need the very best, come see us at Amazing Socks. We have all the rain boots you need, and Smartwool hiking socks to go with them and keep your feet extra dry!
 

Have Sweaty Feet? Injinji Toe Socks Could Be The Answer!

Monday, April 30, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Injinji Outdoor Nuwool Crew Toe SockThe problem of excess sweat buildup in the feet is something that’s extremely common, and something that sufferers of it can often find extremely embarrassing. It can also be something that can seem extremely hard to combat, with no amount of powders or lotions being able to do the trick. That’s often the case when trying to treat a problem that’s already started; but when you get to the root of the problem and prevent it from happening in the first place, it’s something that you may never have to live with at all. And Injinji toe socks are a great prevention tactic.  

Injinji socks have separated pockets for each individual toe, so that the toes are not held together creating more heat and therefore, more sweat, than necessary. It’s the same concept as wearing mittens in the winter over gloves. Mittens are often warmer because they hold the fingers, and the heat, together. Toe socks though, separate the toes and the heat, keeping your feet cooler and sweat-free.

Injinji socks are also made mostly from wool fabric, which is best for wicking moisture away from the skin and keeping feet cool and dry. If you’re not comfortable wearing toe socks but still want to stop the problem of sweaty feet from ever occurring, Smartwool hiking socks, made from merino wool, are designed with the same concept in mind and are also excellent at preventing the problem of sweaty feet.

What often keeps people from getting the specialty socks they need to help them with their problem is that these socks can often be out of many people’s price range. At Amazing Socks though, we’re always having an Injinji and Smartwool socks sale, so make sure you check us out today!
 

World’s Softest Socks can Save Your Shoes!

Monday, April 30, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Have you ever owned a pair of leather or canvas shoes, such as boat shoes or patent leather shoes that World's Softest Classic Over the Calfafter several wears develop an unpleasant odor? It can be a real problem not just because you don’t like the smell, but because you know others will be able to smell it, too, especially if you take your shoes off. There are plenty of things you can do to try and deal with the odor, but only one really works.

These types of shoes trap odors very well, because the very material they’re made of isn’t decided to breathe and to release those odors. Because of this, people turn to all sorts of remedies such as insoles, odor-eating powders and lotions, even stuffing potpourri into their shoes overnight! None of these will work, but changing your socks might.

Wearing socks that are known to keep your foot well-ventilated, such as World’s Softest Socks, are the answer. The fabric in these socks takes any excess moisture that accumulates on your foot and moves them through the fabric and into the air, so it never gets a chance to stay in your shoe. These socks aren’t the only socks that will take the odor out though; Smartwool hiking socks, and other wool socks will, too.

When it comes to getting odor out of your shoe, it really has nothing to do with your shoe at all, but the socks that you wear inside of them. When it’s time for you to get the right socks to combat odors, come see us at Amazing Socks where we’re always having a Smartwool socks sale, and discounts on all of our other socks, too!

 

Are Compression Socks Washable?

Sunday, April 29, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Smartwool PhD Graduated Compression Ultra Light Over the CalfYou 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!

How to Buy Munsingwear Boxers for Boys

Wednesday, April 25, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

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?

Munsingwear Light Blue Woven Boxer 2-PkThe 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!

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!
 

Mens Smartwool Socks can Help Relieve Pain of Athlete’s Foot

Tuesday, April 24, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Athlete’s foot is a condition, also sometimes known as ringworm of the foot, in which a fungus begins to Smartwool Men's New Classic Rib Sockgrow on the skin, causing flaking, itchiness, scaling, and burning in the affected area. The fungi is generally transmitted in areas that are moist and are highly exposed to a large amount of people walking around barefoot, such as in a gym shower and in bathhouses. Athlete’s foot can happen just about anywhere on the body that’s moist and exposed to the fungi that causes it, but it’s most often found on the feet. It’s for this reason that women’s and men’s Smartwool socks can help ease the pain.

Smartwool socks are made from Merino wool, the softest wool in the world; but more importantly than that, because they are made of wool they also offer great ventilation and help keep feet cool and dry. This is hugely important, as the more drier the area is, the less likely it’s going to be that the fungus is going to spread to other parts of the body, or become worse in the original area.

Athlete’s foot can be a difficult condition to control and prevent, and you won’t be able to do it through socks alone. You will need to see a doctor to obtain a prescription and obtain real treatment. But in the meantime, socks can be a big help to relieve the pain, burning, and itching of athlete’s foot and we’ve got all of them. Come see us at Amazing Socks where the Smartwool socks sale is always going on, and we have tons of other styles, such as Wrightsock Coolmesh socks, that will prove to be a huge help, too!

Travel Socks do More than Ease Discomfort on a Plane

Monday, April 23, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

Gold Toe Men's 3 Pack Manhattan Crew with Non-Binding Top SockMany 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
 

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.
 

Winter Gloves for the Summer!

Saturday, April 21, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

In many parts of the country and the rest of the world, the ice and snow has all melted, the weather’s 180's Women's Metro Faux Suede Gloves with Tec Touchturning 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.
 

Are Smartwool Hiking Socks Really Worth It?

Friday, April 20, 2012 by Jennifer Dean

SmartWool® Men's Adventurer Crew Hiking SockWhen you’re looking at all the different hiking gear that will help you along your next path, you’ll undoubtedly come across hiking socks – and wonder if they’re really worth it. Hiking socks can be a bit more expensive than other types of socks, and this alone makes many think that they’re simply a gimmick used to lure in avid hikers. But genuine hiking socks are designed with many features that will make your hike easier, and keep you going for longer.

Smartwool hiking socks are mostly known for being made out of merino wool, the softest wool in the world that keeps feet warm and dry without being itchy or irritating. This wool also wicks moisture away from the skin, so you don’t have to suffer from blisters. But even with these most popular features, these socks will bring even more to your next hike.

Women’s and men’s Smartwool socks are usually padded along the heel and the sole of the foot – the two places that have the highest impact and are under the most amount of pressure during your hike. Over top of this extra cushioning are also reinforced seams, so you can work out these socks as hard as you need, and know that they’re still going to last you for years to come.

So are hiking socks really worth it? Yes, they are! They’re the only socks that will protect your feet and make sure that you enjoy every hike you take. And, when you can come to Amazing Socks where we’re always having a Smartwool socks sale, there’s really no difference in price from other types of socks.

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!
