“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?”
“Bugs love to crawl up your ankles onto your legs but these socks prevent that from happening. Not only are they comfortable but anyone who loves the outdoors needs these. They come in various colors and even have sizes for kids. What could be better?!”
“Earlier this year I purchased insect shield clothing, including these socks. Before I would be covered with mosquito bites, especially around my ankles, but when I wear these socks I don’t get one single bite. After spending a lot of money on mosquito companies spraying my yard (didn’t work) and caking myself with mosquito spray (sticky and burdensome) I finally found something that actually works and is super easy and convenient. I recommend all insect shield products! These socks are soft, comfortable and don’t smell at all, and best of all mosquitos hate them!”
“I wear these socks when I go hiking and foraging. I tuck my pant legs into my socks. When I return I undress and study what is sticking to the socks. Invariably there will be multiple seed ticks and sometimes a larger tick. ALL DEAD and NOT biting. I LOVE these!”
