Tested: Mitscoots Running Socks

By Coach Levi on September 16, 2017   /   Product Reviews   /   1 Comment
Tags: charity, socks

While looking up companies with charitable operations one day, I stumbled upon Mitscoots. It might be a funny name, but they rival Bombas (those super comfy socks I reviewed earlier) when it comes to charitable giving. We’re not just talking socks, though. Mitscoots Outfitters makes a range

Tags: compression, socks

You don’t have to wear compression socks to compete in a marathon or triathlon. If you look at the crowds of participants these days, though, I wouldn’t blame you for thinking that – these things are everywhere! That’s good news though, because the surging popularity has led

Tags: socks

Most people will tell you that all you need to get started running (assuming you have some basic athletic clothing) is a good pair of running shoes. Well, that’s not exactly true. You need good running shoes and socks. If you’re running in white cotton gym socks,

Bombas socks have been around for a few years now, and they have definitely made a name for themselves. They have generated a lot of interest and people are asking, “what is so special about Bombas socks?” Their sock lineup includes many materials and styles, the socks

Tested: CEP Progressive+ Compression Run Socks 2.0

By Coach Levi on November 22, 2014   /   Product Reviews   /   2 Comments
Tags: compression, socks

It couldn’t have been all that long ago that there were just a few main sports companies offering compression socks and sleeves for improved race performance. 2007 or 2008 I think it was. I remember CEP, CW-X, and Zensah being the prominent brands when I was first

Tested: Nice Laundry Men’s Dress Socks

By Coach Levi on October 11, 2014   /   Product Reviews   /   8 Comments
Tags: socks

I see dress socks as a necessary evil. As much as I love socks, I’ve never been excited about them. And how could I be, with a drawer full of beautiful creations from Darn Tough, DeFeet, Sock Guy, Thorlos, Patagonia, and Balega, to name a few? When

Thinking back over the years, I can’t recall buying socks from a running socks company. All my running socks were from companies that made my favorite biking and hiking socks. The one exception now is Balega. They make running socks. You go to their website, you see

Tested: Thorlos Running Socks

Tags: socks

Last year I had my first experience with socks from Thorlo. You may remember that I reviewed the Thorlo Experia, which is a lightly cushioned multi-sport sock, likely similar to hiking and running socks you’ve used before. Their comfort was exceptional! But did you know that Thorlo

Made in Vermont. Guaranteed for life. That’s what I like to hear! Darn Tough Socks are my kind of socks. First of all, Vermont is a wonderful place to be. I love it. And I love socks. I really love wool socks. Make them colorful wool socks

Tags: rei, socks, wool

Being a huge fan (and longtime member) of REI, as well as an avid wearer of wool socks, it only made sense for me to purchase some REI brand wool socks. So last year, I got myself some REI Merino Wool Hiking Crew Socks for $12.50. These

Tags: socks

I’m not sure why people are always complaining about getting socks for Christmas presents. Apparently they’re not getting socks like these Thorlo Experia Multi-Sport Socks that I’m writing about today! I’m simply fascinated by socks. Wool socks are by far the best, but a good Coolmax sock

Tags: performance bike, socks

I’ve noticed a slight problem where I spend quite a bit of money for cycling socks, only to have them get holes in them after a few races. So, trying to kill two birds with one stone, I picked up a pair of the Performance CoolMax Kevlar Socks…

Wool socks alone won’t prevent frostbite, but they are so cozy and comfortable I can’t imagine wearing anything else in cool weather! One of my favorite wool socks is the DeFeet Woolie Boolie. Here is my review…
