I Thought Socks Were Just Socks Until I Tried These

Ok, what are the 3 things you do every morning before starting your day?

Everyone is going to have a different answer. But if I had to bet, putting on a pair of socks is on almost everyone's list (I hope a toothbrush & underwear also make your top 3), mine included.

It wasn't something I gave any real thought. I was one of those guys that barely even cared if the 2 matched. But then I came across this sock brand Outway and over the last 3 months I have made 3 separate orders and now Outway Socks are the King of the Castle in my sock drawer.

So what made me buy over 12 pairs of Outway socks and why will they likely be the only socks I buy for a while?

Well if you head over to the Outway website the first thing that's going to grab your attention is the LOUD & colorful styles.

You might be thinking to yourself… I'm not a colorful sock kinda guy…

Yeah, I wasn't either. Every sock I owned was black, grey, or a combination of the two. But something about these images just kept drawing me in… they followed me all over the internet… and my willpower couldn't resist.

Having just gotten back into running after years off and being exclusively part of the ankle sock club, something about the crew-color socks sucked me in… and now Im hooked.

Before each run, I reach for my Airpods, Apple Watch, and runners and select my favorite pair of Outway socks like I'm selecting a part of my uniform.

What I Love About Outway

Aesthetic & Design When you see a pair of Outway Socks you can't help but smile.
Comfort I have no idea what these socks are made of but they feel incredible.
Performance The material grabs your leg and stops them from sliding during fast-paced activity.
Quality After dozens of washes, they still fit & perform like the day I bought them.

These are not like regular socks

As soon as your package of Outway socks arrives you know right away these are not the same as other socks you have worn. Immediately you can tell they feel different, they have this soft but technical feel that's hard to explain.

As you slide the sock on the compression securely grabs your lower calf, the breathable venting and moisture-wicking material hug your foot and keeps your foot cool & comfortable during the most aggressive exercise.

It's All in the Details

Outway Socks are the first sock I would ever describe as being full of features. Stay Up Compression, Breathable Venting, Mid-Foot Arch Support, Seamless Toe Construction, Y-Stitch Heel to Avoid Rubbing, & Moisture Wicking Yarns.

Not Sure Where to Start?

When you first visit the Outway socks website it can be a little overwhelming with options. So let me break down where I started.

First things first, choose your sock height. 99% of people are going to be either grabbing CREW or ANKLE. Remember when I said I used to be part of the Ankle Sock Club? Yeah well, I bought a 6-pack of ankle socks from Outway and still haven't worn them because I love the crew socks so much.

So let's assume you are grabbing some Crew Socks (like all the cool kids) then you need to decide between Performance or Padded.

I ended up buying both and the padded line is just that: they are padded, and much warmer. Think of these as your winter sock — your classic tube sock with flair & features. These are socks for you if you aren't quite ready to fully commit to the color & flair of the performance crew line.

Then we have the Performance Line and these… these are what you came for.

So Should You Buy Them?

I think by now it's pretty obvious that I'm a fan of Outway Socks. They built an amazing community and their founder Rob Fraser has turned Outway into a company you are excited to support and look forward to wearing.

But community means nothing if you do not have quality and Outway has hit a home run in that category and it's a brand that really feels like it has its own personality.

If you aren't sure where to start I'd recommend grabbing the Retro Pack and whichever Performance Crew pack design catches your eye. Do yourself a favor and don't just buy 1 pair because trust me when I tell you that you will be heading back for more.
