 That’s right, I said it! Your favorite writer at MP has a little something something for that feet game. To be more specific, I am very particular about what kind of clothes my feet wear. What? Did you not see that coming? Don’t tell me you were thinking about something completely different… You sickos!!! You think you are a hipster? Everywhere you go you get people to turn their heads and look at you. What and how you dress is a fashion statement that defines you and your beliefs. You have a rad hairdo and can be spotted by aliens from outer space. Everything is going so well for you… [screeching stop sound] except you choose not to wear socks with your boat shoes! Looking pass the hygienic crisis of sweaty feet rubbing against your shoes, the question is, “why would you not wear socks?!?!?!” They say ignorance is bliss, but we are going to let you in on a little secret to help you avoid getting slapped in public. We’ve recently came across couple pairs of Tommy John’s Stay-Put Liner Socks, and thought it would be a product worth sharing to all you hipsters and wannabe hipsters. We’ve gone through cotton ankle socks, long knee-high socks as well as the silky dress socks. Most commonly, despite different shapes and sizes, all socks had these common flaws: 1) Do not allow for proper ventilation, 2) Rip easily, and 3) Lack comfort during long time usage. What we got from Tommy John’s Liner Socks was a bit different. At first glance, these little individual pairs don’t look much; unrolling the socks, it initially threw us off as they look like one of those ballet flats that your girlfriend wears. They were about the size of a fully stretched hand (we have pretty big hands, if you know what that means…). The socks themselves come in various colors, but we happened to have the Sand 3 Tone and Dress Blues Solid. The fabric is a cotton, polyester, spandex and nylon mix. What makes these socks unique is the “InvisiGrip Technology” hidden on the inside of the stocks. To put into simple English, there is a super thin layer of transparent soft gel material at the heel end of the socks. This gel like material works as an adhesive connector between your heels and the sock, ensuring proper grip and no slippage.
Another aspect about the socks that impressed us was the durability of the material. Being the kind of person who doesn’t like to go bare foot into yoga studios, I wore these socks to my second ever yoga class at One Down Dog over the weekend. After a good hour of twisting and turning, I was more impressed with these socks than my personal performance. With all the moving around, the socks never once slipped off of my feet nor did I notice any rip or tear at the end of the session. Better yet, with a full body of sweat, my feet were dry and had sufficient ventilation throughout.
Here’s the best part: these are not knee-high or ankle socks! That means, for the most part, you can even wear them with those boat shoes. Problem solved! May you keep them fungi to yourself. You’re welcome! by ManPossible Photos used under CC from mark
