“I am surrounded by trees and roaming deer which means ticks! I pull the socks over the end of my pants or leggings to minimize access to my skin. These socks are stretching and easy to get on and off plus they are not too bulky. I wear them for mowing the lawn, tending to the garden or hiking on a trail. If you do your own yard work then you will want to get several pairs. I'm thinking about giving a pair to two to my active nieces and nephews as holiday gifts.”
“I'm not an outdoorsy person and I was pretty nervous about ticks when I was going camping. So I rush ordered these socks and a few other items and it made all the difference. Not too heavy, and it's easy to tuck your pants in. The green color is pretty.”
“These socks feel great and are proving to be heavy duty as well as protective against ticks! I have not had a tick on me since aquiring them and I walk in piney woods on the Blue Ridge Parkway regularly and previously had numerous ticks. This year seems worse than I have ever seen it with all stages of the ticks so we need to use everything we can think of to fight back against these dangerous pests! Thank you, Insect Shield, for your wonderful socks!”
“I don't know what hiking is like in the eastern US, but in the northwest, we need thick, cushiony socks. These aren't any different than everyday socks!”
“Great idea Insect Shield!! So far, these socks have kept me tick-free when mowing grass or out in the garden. I can't believe it took me until now to hear about your products thanks to a NYT article. I bought some for my sons who love to hike and am anxious to hear their review. Wonder if maybe socks could come in a little lighter weight for summer as these are a bit warm for summer but will still wear them for sure! Thanks Insect Shield.”
“These socks fit so well and are so soft and comfortable that they are now my favorite socks in the house, making it easy to remember to wear them during tick seasons. I have purchased multiple pairs for my entire extended family, including friends, because keeping ticks off is so important.”
“These have been great for me so far. I hike a lot and love to be outside, but I live in the upper northeast (lots of heavily wooded areas and long grass) and am always paranoid about ticks. These give me the peace of mind I needed. I haven’t seen any ticks on my legs since I bought them.”
