“I live in an area of New England with a lot of ticks and their associated diseases. I bought two pairs of these socks for my husband and myself on the recommendation of a friend and thought they'd be OK, but offer better tick prevention. It turns out they are now our favorite hiking socks. They are very soft and stay put almost as high as knee socks. Very reasonably priced too.”
“I do a lot of trail maintenance and consider this to be an essential piece of gear. They are cushioned and comfortable and allow my feet to breathe. No ticks when wearing these so far. Of course I wear other treated clothes too, such as coveralls.”
“My family works and plays outdoors and unfortunately the the ticks do too. I purchased some of these last year as a trial and we have been incredibly thankful for the protection they provide. I will continue to replace our worn socks and give them as gifts!”
“I've tried most of the IS men's socks over the years. This one is the most comfortable and the right weight for outdoor lawn and garden activities. They look nice as well. The only downside is they may not stand up as well as the adult crew socks as these are more prone to pulls in the material. Still, I've bought them again and my wife likes them as well.”
“I got a pair of these socks and have worn them while working on my family's farm on the Maryland Eastern Shore where chiggers, mosquitos, biting flies and ticks are numerous. These socks are extremely comfortable, stayed up on my legs helping to provide additional coverage, and definitely kept the biting critters away. I'm so excited to try the other products I bought as these socks are superb!”
“I love these socks! Along with the great Insect Shield pants I am not bothered by the mosquitos that love to torture me. I also am protected from the ticks that hang around in our wooded lot.”
“They are so comfortable that we wear them all of the time. They come up just high enough that they don’t fall down and they make us feel safer from ticks. I plan to buy more for the family”
“These socks are light weight and comfortable but still very sturdy. I haven’t worn these during the height of bug season yet, but I have several other pieces of clothing with insect shield that I have worn during spring and summer. They did a great job keeping ticks and mosquitoes off of me. I highly recommend these products to protect yourself.”
