FirstSpear Friday Focus – Socks

Friday, September 29th, 2023

We understand that having high-quality gear is essential to your performance and safety. From helmets to tactical boots, every component plays an important role. In today’s Friday Focus, we’re tapping into a sometimes overlooked topic, socks… specifically, two FirstSpear fan favorites, the Everyday Sock and the Boot Super Sock, which have been no stranger to the most elite warriors on the face of the planet.

The Everyday Sock is engineered to provide you with the ultimate comfort and ventilation. It’s made of a unique blend of materials that allow your feet to breathe naturally, so you don’t have to worry about sweat getting trapped inside. The extra-light design on the top of the sock helps dissipate heat, allowing you to wear it comfortably, for longer periods.

The Boot Super Sock combines the best aspects of durability, comfort, and breathability in one design. The sock’s naturally antimicrobial and highly breathable qualities make it perfect for wearing under your tactical boots. Its thicker and offers additional protection against blisters and hot spots. Like the Everyday Sock, this sock is proudly made in America with U.S. materials.

Deets

They are made of a blend of merino wool, nylon, lycra, and spandex. Merino wool is known for its warmth, whereas nylon gives the socks excellent abrasion resistance. Lycra and spandex help retain the sock’s shape, even after extended use. As a result, the materials can withstand the wear and tear of daily use, providing you with long-lasting comfort and performance.

Both socks thrive in tactical and field environments as well as everyday wear at home. Whether you’re MIL/LEO, first responder, or an outdoor enthusiast, these socks will provide you with the comfort and performance you need during long hours on your feet.
