Recently, Ashley in addition to I were sent several pairs of Bamboo socks from the folks over at
Ecosox. Ecosox is the maker of bamboo hiking socks. They sent us several pairs of their Breast Cancer Awareness Socks, which raises coin for a slap-up cause. For each pair of socks sold, 1 dollar is donated to the Dayton Breast Cancer Foundation. Raising coin to defeat cancer is a slap-up endeavor!
Here is a lilliputian chip about Ecosox: Ecosox has over 100 unlike colors in addition to styles of socks inwards production. They offer diabetic socks, compression socks, sport socks, hiking socks, in addition to athletic tubes, all of which are made from bamboo. Bamboo socks assist alongside wet control, aroma control, in addition to assist preclude blisters. Over 90% of Ecosox's products are made inwards the USA. Ashley in addition to I ever savor it when nosotros meet American companies making their products correct hither inwards the United States.
Ashley's Review: Ecosox Bamboo "Hiker" socks: I tried out the size medium inwards the regular Bamboo sock (as opposed to the "Light" version). I wore these several times out on a local three mile trail in addition to tin definitely tell that afterward I was done alongside my hikes, my feet felt great. The build claims that the socks are designed for "a casual stroll through the woods or a multi-day backpacking adventure inwards the mountains." The socks are supposed to hold feet dry, odorless, supported, in addition to the temperature regulated. Based on these 4 points, my 3-mile walks or hikes tend to displace my feet to elbow grease or teach hot--as alongside whatsoever shape of activity. I loved that the socks did what they said they would do. My feet were supported in addition to cushioned during my hikes, which is overnice because of the large arch inwards my foot. I loved that the socks didn't receive got an aroma afterward because they wicked wet away (I secretly used them twice inwards a row without washing...is that bad?). The most of import affair for me was the rule of temperature. I loathe having the feeling similar my feet cannot breathe. Often times, I can't await to receive got off my hiking shoes in addition to sideslip into my flip flops correct afterward because my feet are in addition to thus hot. I loved that these socks kept my feet cool. It helped my overall temperature also because my trunk wasn't trapping inwards every bit much heat--compared to tell wearing Ugg Boots alongside heavy socks, it's meant to insulate rut in addition to thus you lot rest warm. I felt comfortable spell wearing theses socks. I also didn't teach whatsoever blisters, only I cry upward that's also because my shoes were broken in. I volition receive got to examination these out on some novel shoes. :) Aside from that, I liked that the socks could last rolled upward or down, depending on how much of your leg you lot desire covered. The socks are also a overnice neutral shade, in addition to thus for fashionistas that necessitate to match, occupation solved!
Ecosox Bamboo "LIGHT Hiker" socks: Honestly, I can't tell much of a departure betwixt the 2 socks. I wore this pair on the same three miles hike a distich of times in addition to flora the same to last truthful every bit far a the claims this build makes most their socks--that's a proficient thing! They are definitely consistent. The solely departure on the packaging is the give-and-take "Light." I notice a SLIGHT difference, in addition to I hateful slight. The lighter sock is a tad softer than the thicker pair. But I would vesture either 1 for a pocket-size or large hike in addition to last fine. They travel the same means every bit the regular socks, every bit far every bit regulating temperature in addition to wet wicking goes. They had no odor. I tin gyre the socks upward or down. Comfort is #1 for me, in addition to these socks surpassed! Plus, who doesn't desire something to a greater extent than eco friendly? They are made out of bamboo!
Brian's Review: I had the adventure to vesture a pair of the Ecosox Light Hiker, size large which fit a shoe size 10 to 13. The socks were extremely comfortable in addition to provided slap-up wet command inwards my opinion. I tested the socks out on our local three mile lawsuit every bit well. The socks are perfectly shape plumbing equipment in addition to did non slide, which was great. I am proud of Ecosox for donating a share of the proceeds from their profits to manage Breast Cancer, only my 1 proposition is for this occupation they create a distich of socks without the pink, since that is belike non a color that most men volition wear. They should hold the packaging the same pinkish design, for the consumer to know a share of their buy is going to a proficient cause, only furnish other color options for this occupation of socks. I volition update my review afterward Ashley in addition to I teach a adventure to practice a actually long hike inwards these socks, to farther examination their durability. The pricing betoken on the Ecosox is comparable to other high destination hiking socks in addition to you lot tin teach a pair for betwixt five in addition to ix dollars depending on the type. These really are extremely soft socks that "feel" real proficient to the peel in addition to I would receive got no problem recommending them. For a sizing chart, click Here. You tin notice these socks on Amazon or at the Ecosox Store.
