COMPRESSION SOCKS?

  •  

    When I was posting about compression garments i thought perhaps compression socks (not surgical we are talking breathable and moisture wicking) for cold weather to go under regular socks

  •  

    For me, the garments are one thing, but I like my feet to have a little freedom - I think it would be a little uncomfortable, but I'm sure there are some out there who would love it.

  •  

    I can maybe understand it in the north, but I never playing in weather that requires two pair of socks.  

  •  

    If it is that cold... I don't think you will find me on the course!

    10 years ago when I ran some marathons I would always have on two pairs of socks but not in the traditional sense. The inner layer would be a thin silk type sock designed for running that would wick moisture off onto the outer sock. Thus keeping your feet dry and preventing blisters.

    I feel in any sock or under garment the ability to wick moisture is the most important aspect

    This may not be exactly what you are looking for but you should check out our new TechSof line of socks.  This is just about the most feature packed socks you can possibly get. 

    First off, they are anatomically shaped to the left and right foot, providing exact cushioning at the right points.  They feature breahable mesh in the major hot spots and Dri-Lex technology to pull moisture away and keep your foot cool.  There is a killer midfoot cradle to support your arch and keep you from sliding around.  The best part is now they are available in low cut, sport, and crew.

    I personally use these to play golf and work out in.  I haven't come across anything better.  Check them out here.

    Mike thanks so much. I am going to buy a pair and give them a try. Most people do not realize how much stress the golf swing puts on your feet especially your forward foot.. Can you elaborate what else Footjoy has in the way of shoes that will help stabilize you foot.

    Mike,

    Not sure if you got my message but tried out the TechSof socks. I had been hitting some practice balls and was wearing Thorlors.  I could tell an instant difference in breath-ability. Did my workout and they felt really comfortable. As comparison with the Thorlors I feel they are definitely better in moisture wicking department and they seem to give you more wiggle room for your toes with out bunching up and possibly causing blisters.

     

    Thanks

    Awesome feedback. My feet sweat quite a bit so this is very helpful.
