| cntaur5's Full Review: Nike NIKE® Swoosh Crew Socks |
Why struggle to mix and match colors? When you can find NIKEŽ Swoosh Crew Socks in classic white with the neat little knitted-in Swoosh trademark at top. I prefer white since it’s uncomplicated and ultra-versatile. For me, an absence of color means a surplus of styles. As a Personal Trainer, have a good pair of reliable white socks is essential.
Fashion meets function with the NIKEŽ Swoosh Crew Socks. These white cushioned crew socks with their reinforced heel and toe offer great comfort and wearability. These socks are made of cotton and polyester, which is suitable for your favorite aerobics class or for a casual night out. As emphasis on physical fitness has increased demand for NIKE’s socks are on the rise.
Like most athletic socks, NIKEŽ Swoosh Crew Socks are designed for the active lifestyle, offering flexibility and durable wear. Fortunately NIKE combined cotton and polyester avoiding the problem that most 100% cotton socks has. Most of my socks that are 100% cotton socks are sagging in the calf area and did not hold up after repeated washings.
I’ve had the NIKEŽ Swoosh Crew Socks for at least two months and despite the repeated washing and drying these socks have endured. The ribbed upper portion of the socks continues to provide supportive fit and good shape retention. I like the way the socks soothingly flex at the widest part of my forefoot. NIKE’s construction reduces rubbing and so reduces blisters and callouses which can be painful.
Originally my NIKEŽ Swoosh Crew Socks fit sizes 6 to 11, however my socks have stretched to my 11 inch feet, fitting like a snug comfortable glove. If you are an avid walker, runner, backpacker, or a person with hard to fit feet, you know all too well that your socks fit can mean the difference between a fantastic experience or aching feet.
These socks keep my feet fairly dry despite being worn all day. Good absorbability is a must have since dry feet are warmer in the winter and cooler in summer. Although these socks don’t feature odor protection, their absorbability reduces the potential for foot odor and athlete's foot.
I purchased three pairs, which came in a pack from Macy’s Department Store for only $12.50. When it comes to purchasing name brand socks you can expect to spend a little more, but you will definetly get more in the quality of the socks.
You don’t have to be too concerned with cleaning since NIKEŽ Swoosh Crew Socks are machine washable. Laundering these socks require few if any special precautions. A couple of weeks ago I got a grass stain and removed it by pouring a little white vinegar on the sock before washing it with my regular whites. After only one washing the sock was as white as the others.
I highly recommend you getting your NIKEŽ Swoosh Crew Socks today, I’m sure your feet will thank you and beg you to "Just Do It!"
