“We live on 19 acres next to a forest. Lots of mosquitoes, ticks and chiggers. I am very afraid of ticks as I was previously bitten by a lone star tick and had several severe anaphylaxic reactions before being diagnosed with Alpha Gal Syndrome. I can no longer eat any kind of red meat because of it. Bought these socks for my husband and myself. We tuck our pants into the socks for better protection. We may not look stylish but these socks keep the ticks and chiggers away. I am afraid to go outside with out these socks. I highly recommend this specially treated socks.”
“I am a hiker - have climbed all the 4000 footers in New England in summer, and this winter completed all those in ME, NH and VT in winter. So good hiking socks are a MUST. These are the best I have found for summer hiking. And they keep the ticks off too!!!”
“My husband and I have both had tick-borne illnesses and we live in the woods with a LOT of deer and ticks. We’ve both been using these socks for a couple of years any time we “muck” around in the woods - gardening, walks, checking the mail, etc. Last year we had 1 - count ‘em 1 - tick between the two of us. They are light weight enough to use in the summer. They seem to run just a little hot in the NC summer and humidity, but that’s a small price to pay!”
“I live in a heavily infested tick area and I walk a lot. Although I try and avoid thick brush, woods, and beach grass, it’s not always possible. These socks give me more confidence to trudge through these areas, plus they are comfortable. I appreciate the fact that they reach up rather high on my calves too.”
