TIP OF THE MONTH

PICKING THE PERFECT SPORTS SOCK

 

Being a Champion starts with your feet! Let’s take a look at a couple of our Top Tips this season:

  1. Consider Your Material Choice: 

    Cotton is a soft classic for light activity, but for more high-intensity athletics, we recommend trying out Merino Wool or Poly Blends for their moisture-wicking and breathability properties.

  2. Recovery: 

    After a tough game (or workout), our all-NEW Menthol-Infused Socks can provide cooling foot pain relief, simply by wearing them. No messy creams needed! It’s a revolutionary new product – perfect for athletes!

GRAIN VALLEY FAIR PARADE

Railroad Sock had a great time participating in the annual Grain Valley Parade on September 6th. While the fair & parade are a September event every year, this was the first time that Railroad Sock made an appearance. Pulling our train mascot up Main Street through downtown, throwing candy and SOCKS to the spectators was a huge hit for children and adults alike.

HOW DO YOUR NEW MENTHOL-INFUSED SOCKS WORK?

We’ve partnered with Clothing 2.0, a revolutionary apparel company with patented technology that infuses medicine directly into the fibers of the yarn we knit our socks out of. Once you slip them on, the menthol is activated by your body’s temperature and moisture, and is safely absorbed into your skin by direct contact. You can wear them up to 8 hours a day, and the medicine lasts 15+ washes. Give ‘em try, you’ll love them! Learn more: www.HealthTrakPlus.com
