| cntaur5's Full Review: Nike NIKE® Swoosh Quarter Socks |
Look’s like I’m on a role with socks, (no pun intended). My Nike NIKEŽ Swoosh Quarter Socks were purchased approximately two months ago. If you work out at the gym as much as I do, or perhaps you enjoy walking around your home in your sock feet, you unquestionably understand the importance of buying a good pair of socks.
Nike NIKEŽ Swoosh Quarter Socks offer the traditional cushion terry knit which translates into a comfortable form-fitting sock. Nike’s reinforced heel and toe provide excellent cushioning when I jog, with the heel and toe areas of the sock absorbing the shock and impact endured when I hit the ground. I don’t want to sound like a Nike commercial, but I’m sure the additional comfort also comes from my Nike ‘Air Storm Pegasus’. ('Air Storm Pegasus are men running shoes)
Good quality socks are just as important as Nike’s $70.00 'Air Storm Pegasus Running Shoe. It's ridiculous to spend $80.00 on the latest running shoe and ruin their comfort and stability by slipping and sliding on cheap paper-thin socks.
The major difference in Nike’s Quarter socks when compared to regular crew socks is how far they go up the leg. The short or quarter socks, are especially great for warm weather activities. However, Nike Quarter socks offer the same sport specific cushioning that Nike’s Crew socks provide. The Nike Swoosh Quarter Socks have not slipped down my shoe like some of the cheaper quality socks.
The Nike Swoosh Quarter Socks are cushioned and supportive socks, which are great for the toes, and the top of the foot and the Achilles tendon. Nike Swoosh Quarter Socks also adapt to the arch of my feet and feel good over my toes. So far I’ve gotten good protection even when my feet are engaged in heavy, fast, quick aerobic movements.
One of the best things I like about the Nike Swoosh Quarter Socks is that after several months of wear and tear, there are no loose threads or strings, and there are no holes in the toe area. Nike put's their foot into their socks! I’ve got a pair of low quarter no name socks that have not only lost their elasticity but they also have a hole in the toe that drove me crazy, not to mention the fact that I only wore them twice.
"Cushioned white socks may be the staple in the sock industry but if you are new to buying quality socks, it's a good idea to start at the top, with brands like Nike. Nike not only offers the easily identifiable “Swoosh” trademark but the company also manufactures top-notch tennis shoes.
If you are going to commit to regular exercise, buying quality socks is essential. Nothing will deter your progress faster than pain from aching and sore feet. So put your feet in a pair of Nike NIKEŽ Swoosh Quarter Socks , I’m sure your feet will thank you.
