“I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these socks. They are called lightweight but seem to be more midweight compared to my other socks which is good. I have two pairs from last year and bought another in 2022. The newer socks are longer in the calf and come higher up the leg which is probably good for ticks. I bought XL and they fit very well for size 13. Very comfortable socks.”
“I live on 167 wooded acres in the crown of Maine. Our state bird is a toss-up between the black fly and the mosquito and our state insect is the deer tick. I bought these socks hoping they would be somewhat effective. They are 100% effective. I've not had a bite even when I've been bushwacking. As soon as I came home from my first hike, I ordered four more pairs. They are spectacular.”
“I like tick protection on my feet because I assume ticks come in that door. I liked the look and feel of these socks. They are soft and have obvious bug repellent smell. However, they are not breathable and my feet were getting hotter the longer I hiked.”
“I live on 167 wooded acres in the Crown of Maine. These socks - and all of the insect shield products - keep me free from ticks, black fly, mosquito and heaven knows what else throughout our pesky critter season. Love them.”
“My husband loves these socks and doesn’t go outside without them. They hold up beautifully to washing and still look like new. I have bought a variety is styles and sizes of IS socks and keep them in a drawer in our guest room for visitors. It gives me peace of mind to know our guests won’t be taking ticks home!”
