Fox River Socks Product Review & Giveaway

I was recently given the opportunity to test out a pair of Fox River Socks. I chose pink (of course!) and was sent a light weight pair of running socks in size Large (go Team Big Foot!) to try out.



Visit the Fox River Mills website (HERE) and start shopping!! Their socks are made in the USA!

I love that they are nearly in my back yard!!

Since its beginning in the Fox River Valley of Appleton, Wisconsin, in 1900, Fox River Mills, Inc. (now based in Osage, Iowa) has been committed to producing quality knitted socks and handwear. Fox River was founded on the principle of offering a superior product with great service at a fair price. Today, Fox River Mills in one of the leading outdoor, athletic, and lifestyle sock manufacturers in the world.

Check out their website for a lot of interesting FOOT FACTS (HERE). I bet you didn't know that feet sweat about 10-15 gallons per foot per year, and 5-8 gallons of that perspiration gets absorbed by socks.





Special features of the Light Weight Running Socks I tried:

• Wick-Dry to keep your feet dry and comfortable
• Mesh on top and under toes for flexibility and ventilation
• Smooth, flat, strong toe seam
• Dimensional knit for a women's fit
• Spandex arch support helps hold sock in place

When I first put the socks on for the first time, they were a little bunchy, near the heal. With some adjusting, they were completely fine and didn't slip during my run. But I was a little concerned at first. I believe the sizing was fine (I wear a women's size 10 running shoe). I think that the height of the sock was a lot taller/higher than I'm use to. And, it just took some getting use to.

Even though these were labeled "light weight", these socks were definitely a great balance between thickness (padding) and thiness (light-weight). I'm not sure if they offered the same padding as some of my other running socks (to prevent blisters in my hot spots -- on the inside of the front of my feet), but they were definitely comfortable and stayed in place.

I've now worn these socks three times and they've washed up fine wear-after-wear. I love that they are pink and fun to wear. As already mentioned, these are a little higher than I'm use to wearing, but the only difference I see is a higher tan line!!

These socks are made from sustainable resources like plants and recycled waste, as well as recycled polyester. How cool is that???!!!!

Fox River Socks also has an awesome Soldiers Program. Read all about it (HERE).

Shop from their soldier-supplied wish lists to send socks to US deployed troops, including a personal message of support. Fox River pays the shipping cost on these orders! For rugged conditions, Fox River socks provide comfort and durability these soldiers want and need. Blessings to our soldiers!
