“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.”
“I have been working outdoors since I could remember. I currently work as a land surveyor and spend a lot of time in the woods / swamps. Every spring / summer I would come home with chigger bites through my pants & high socks. I would spray unhealthy amounts of permethrin all over my pants / boots / socks. Ever since I have bought these lightweight hiker socks I haven't been bit by a single chigger. I thought I should buy medium weight because of how badly I get bit but it gets really hot here in South Carolina so I went with the light weight hiker socks and I do not regret my decision. I have wore them for miles through swampy woods and washed them countless times! They still fit perfect and don't slide down under my foot after a few uses like most of my other "hiking socks". They are just as effective now as when I first opened them! I only bought two pairs at first because I was skeptical but now I want a pair for every day of the week! I have told all my co-workers and friends who work or spend time in the woods / swamp! Try these socks! They are awesome!”
