Put a sock on it

putasockonitThink socks don’t make a difference or have a lot to offer.  Socks can actually improve the fit and feel of your shoes as well as your workout performance. Here are things you want to consider when buying.
 
*Density
Ultra thin/thin/medium/thick.

*Fabrics used
Coolmax, Wool, Polyester, Bamboo, Spandex…

*Heights
No show tab, low cut, mini crew, ¼ , crew

*Sizing
Small, medium, large, xtra large and at Elite Feet that sizing is on each sock, so you know when you wash, whose socks belong to who in the family.

*Colors
It use to be White or Black, now think color wheel, because just like the shoes that are mixing colors so are socks.

*Fits
Do you like a universal fit, where you buy a pair and they go on either foot or do you like right/left specific? Also in fits, grab around the arch (compression) and speaking of compression, new to exercise-compression socks- are they for you? How about toe socks? Diabetic?

*Seamless toe
Most exercise socks are now using loop machines making them seamless-all I can say is good riddance to having to turn socks inside out to avoid the seam!!

*Moisture management
You definitely want the sock to take the moisture off your foot and put it to the outside of the sock!! Therefore allowing the mesh of the shoe to pull it off sock and keep feet dry.

*Cost
In direct relation to cost is the feel and fit of the sock. Don’t believe me-try it for yourself (I play cynic so I always have to try for myself, but think bed sheets – in thread counts, the higher the better makes for a decidedly different feel of sheet. That’s why you see such a variety in my collection of socks! Do they both work, absolutely, but what if at the end of your workout your body would recoup quicker.
 
We are constantly trying out new socks because of the changes that are happening.
 
Curious about how socks can make a difference for you? Come try on socks at Elite Feet and discover your feet’s favorite! Most days, Leslie wears a light cushion sock while Don prefers dense. Give the man his cush! Whatever YOU choose it is a personal choice. Just please, put a sock on it!

    Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a
    captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog
    platform as yours and I’m having trouble finding one?

    Thanks a lot!
