“Black-legged ticks are ubiquitous here in New England and as a trail runner and hiker, I was usually bitten 4-6 x a year. Not to mention the many ticks I found before they latch on, so these socks are a game changer- I run through grass without worries because I've NEVER found a tick while wearing these! Not to mention they're soft and light-colored (essential in tick country). Would love to see other light colors than tan, though. How about light blue or gray?”
