While I’m not that much into the Olympics, I do like my SockGuy socks. And they wanted us to remind our readers that they have plenty of options for showing your American pride. So it doesn’t matter if you flew to PyeongChang, or are watching from your sofa. If you want to show your pride, get your flag socks. (Because we know you’ve got your shoes off and feet up, and no one wants to see your bare feet).
With so many options to choose from, I’m only sharing my favorite two. Use the link above to see them all, if these don’t get your gold.
First up, the classic flag, but in wool, and 8″ high crew cuff. Here’s what SockGuy has to say about them:
Our Wool socks are made from 75% TURBOwool, a superior blend of 50% polypropylene and 50% Merino wool, which provides five times the strength and durability of Merino wool alone. Shrink-resistant and itch-free, these socks will keep feet dry and warm in all weather conditions.
Our wool socks feature:
‘¢ Superior wicking and durability
‘¢ TURBOwool deluxe wool blend is 5x stronger than Merino wool alone
‘¢ Year-round performance: warmer in winter; cooler in summer
Next, my all-time favorite all-American sock, the Evel 1. Named for America’s premier motorsports showman, Robert Craig Knievel Jr., AKA “Evel Knievel”. Even though he failed in his attempt to jump Springfield Gorge Snake River Canyon, he was an inspiration when I was just a kid. Many of the foolish BMX jumps I attempted could be attributed to him. He was as American as hot dogs, apple pie, and flaming motorcycle crashes. If there was an Olympic event for broken bones, he’d take him the gold, silver, bronze, and many titanium pins as well as stainless screws. Oh wait, he definitely did get those last two.
Here’s how SockGuy describes the Evel 1’s construction, with its 6″ cuff:
SockGuy’s SGX™socks are designed with the elite athlete in mind and features our exclusive Elite Performance Formula, a blend of polypropylene, nylon and spandex. The new SGX™sock line provides a compression fit, performance ribbing, enhanced ventilation and a reduced friction profile. These socks feel great, look great, and with SockGuy’s signature Stretch-to-Fit sizing and reinforced toe & heel, SGX™socks perform like no other.
Guaranteed to be the most comfortable performance socks you’ll ever wear.
Our SGX socks feature:
‘¢ Compression ribbing cuff helps prevent fatigue by increasing blood flow
‘¢ Mesh upper for maximum airflow ventilation
‘¢ Snug arch support hugs foot for maximum comfort and virtually zero-slip
‘¢ Streamlined friction-free sole: go longer and play harder with no pain
