Farm to Feet ------- Damascus LW Elite Hiker

Farm to Feet make a very nice sock.  I was sent the Damascus LW Elite Hiker sock in which my feet being size 13 the X-Large was the right fit.  The sock is designed very well. First off they are 100 percent made in the USA including all these fibers of 57 percent Merino Wool, 40 percent Nylon and 3 percent LYCRA Spandex they have great cushion and wicking properties. Reinforced toe and heel and top of the foot ventilation make they super comfortable.  The sock measures about 11 inches from the tip of the heel up to the top of the compression calf.  They can be stretched or pulled up higher if wanting.  I love the seamless toe as I often have trouble with my toe nails and running.  Although these are a hiking sock, they give great comfort and support for the running I have done wearing them. I have also worn them while just walking around on vacation.  I would highly recommend anyone looking for a great comfortable fitting hiking/running/walking sock to give Farm to Feet a look into. 

Swiftwick Socks put to the test

I have worn and tested three pairs of Swiftwick socks over the past two months, training (running and cycling) and here are my findings.  First of all, they are all great socks and are all antimicrobial.  To break it down,  here are the socks that were part of my test.  I wore them all equally.

Up first was the Performance "The Four"  (blue writing on package) -  Very light and well ventilated great compression.  This sock uses olefin an impressive fabric for wicking sweat away.
Next up was the Aspire "The Twelve"  (red writing on package) -  These were similar to the Performance in the ventilation and compression, however with these being "The Twelve"s they offered and delivered support about to my mid calf.  I only wore them while working out, but these would be great recovery socks too with the nice compression, also uses olefin an impressive fabric for wicking sweat away. 
The last of the three was the Pursuit "The Four" (green writing on package) - I need to explain first off that these were my favorite. They are made with merino wool which has great wicking properties. Unlike regular wool, merino wool is not itchy like one would think wool is,  and helps regulate temperature. Like the others, the Pursuit provided great compression support throughout.  They offered a little more cushion along the bottom of the foot but not to much to make them thick and bulky.
 
All three socks performed perfectly, no slipping or gathering and offered great compression and breatheablity.  The socks can be rolled down or cuffed if the wearer does not like to pull them all the way up. The conform to your foot giving support all around.
I look forward to wearing the Pursuit with merino wool this summer on some of the hotter rides and seeing how it performs then. The moisture wicking compression socks are made in the USA and offer the wearer a guarantee to perform to your satisfaction.
