Got Cold Feet? Try these socks!

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

Feet Cold?  We’ve got the solution! All available at Fit Right NW.

1. Warm - Mizuno Breath Thermo Socks, $14

Breath Thermo is probably the most dynamic fabric on the wall that we have.  Dynamic in the sense that you can actually feel the polymers woven into the fabric heat up as you perspire on them.  There are sample packs of the fabric that any sales associate can show you in case you are an unbeliever like I was.  It will actually warm up as you put water on it!  That is why this sock gets the “warm” tag.

2. Warmer - Feetures Bamboo Sock, $13

Bamboo is a material that has really hit the market in the last 2 years, and Feetures arguably has one of the best socks using this material.  The sock has a more substantial touch to it, and is extremely durable.  If you are in between sizes and can’t decide which one to get size up!  They tend to shrink about a half size after washing and drying them.

3. Warmest - Darn Tough Merino Wool Socks, $14

If these cushioned socks don’t keep your feet warm then you might be out of luck!  Darn Tough is the ONLY manufacturer that actually offers a LIFETIME GUARANTEE on all it’s socks.  If you wear a hole through the toe of the sock send it back to the company and they’ll replace it for you!  They have the highest stitch count out of any sock that Fit Right NW carries, which makes for a cushioned feel because the yarns are woven so close together (this is also the reason why they last so long!).  Add some wool from New Zealand to your winter sock collection and your feet will thank you.

New shoes available at Fit Right NW!

Asics 2140 ($100)
The 2000 series lives on. The 2140 continues with the great cushion and support that has made it one of the industry’s most popular shoe.

Asics 2140 Trail ($100)
The 2140 Trail has everything the road version has but with a water-resistant upper and a slightly more aggressive outersole.

Asics 1140 ($85)
The 1140 continues with the great fit and feel of the previous 1100 series and still is at a great value.

Nike Structure Triax GTX ($115)
The Structure Triax GTX has a Gore-Tex XCR membrane that will keep your feet dry in the wettest conditions but still offering a similar ride to the road version.

Adidas AdiStar Ride ($125)
The adiStar Ride replaces the adiStar Cushion this fall. The adiStar Ride has a softer upper and a smother transition than the previous model.
