“I bought these for when I visit friends in the country (I'm a city dweller), knowing that my friends have a robust tick population on their beautiful property. I'm also finding them useful for gardening in my urban backyard, especially first thing in the morning or in the evening, when the mosquitoes are looking for a meal.”
“I absolutely love this product. My son is living in Arkansas and spends most of his days outdoors doing humanitarian service projects. His companions have gotten ticks and chigger bites on every project but he has never had a single bite while wearing these socks. He has both the sport socks and these socks. He loves both but prefers these as they are more light-weight in the hot humid summer in Arkansas. I will be purchasing these for my entire family as they spend a lot of time in tick country here in Idaho. Thank you for this remarkable product!”
“I really want to like these socks. I wear size 11 shoes. I bought the large size socks. The foot part is fine, the part that goes over the ankle is pretty tight. Once on they feel ok and I guess they keep the ticks away. I don't have a supply of ticks to test them with, so I don't really know.
The color is fine, the material is fine. Too bad they aren't more roomy.”
“Bought these for me and my fiance. He's a size 13, but they fit him well. Got the large. I have a size 10 foot and they were a little large and very comfortable. We wore them on a week long camping trip, where I usually get my ankles all bit up from mosquitos. Not a bite! (When I was wearing them). He did not have a bite either! And no ticks!! Excellent product! Just wish I would have found this sooner! Love!! I bought more products for our dogs and not a tick on them! Perfect!!”
“It is seldom that an item actually changes my experience of life, but the Insect Shield products have actually done just that. I am elderly and live in a rural area. Gardening in raised beds is one of the things i can still do. The first few times i went out, i came back in with 2-4 ticks crawling on me and later found one feeding on me each time. . I decided that it was not worth going outside , and was sadly going to forgo gardening for the first time in over forty years, . Then a neighbor
recommended Insect Shield. Somewhat skeptical, I though i had nothing to lose by trying. I ordered a two pack of the socks, woman's medium and a pair of the leggings, woman's large, They arrived promptly and fit really well. I have worn them out to the garden and walking around the field four times so far and have not had one tick on me any of the times. My garden is doing well and i feel safe being outdoor again. I ordered two pairs of the socks for my son and another pair for my close friend for her Birthday, I am delighted with this product and recommend it highly,,, I am also cautious around and sensitive to many chemicals but find these products have no odor and do not cause any skin reactions. My research indicated that they are safe and that is my experience.”
“I used to pull 2-15 ticks off myself at the end of the day (I'm outside most of the day). While I occasionally see a few crawling on me, not a single one has made it to my skin since I started wearing these. I highly recommend them.”
“Like its snugness, and good height for over pants. Have walked through some bad areas on a CSA farm where I know people have been getting Lymes. Have had at least 8 yrs, doing well so far, gives a secure feeling. Also like its good cushioning of bottom of my foot.”
