Socks

There are approximately 9,000 sweat glands in each foot, so the importance of the right sock can not be over emphasized. Look for moisture management fabrics that help pull the sweat away from the skin towards the outlayer of the socks so that the evaporation process is facilitated.

We carry a large selection of moisture management socks and socks that will help keep your feet warm during the cold Rochester winters.

Categories of socks include running socks, hiking socks and a great variety of casual and lifestyle socks.

Brands offered include: Smartwool, Balega, Feetures,  Darn Tough, Saucony, Thorlos and Injinji.

Footwear Inserts

Our feet were never intended to walk on the flat, paved surfaces that our world has become. Often times, the right insert can work in conjunction with the right shoe to give you better support and shock absorbency.

Benefits of insoles include:

  • Cushioning:  Insoles can add extra cushioning and improved shock absorption to a shoe.
  •  Arch Support:   Insoles are designed to provide extra support for your arch, which can help to prevent pain and injuries.
  • Customization:  Insoles help to customize the interior of your shoe based on your foot type and needs.   This can be helpful for people with flat feet or high arches.
  • Relief from heel pain:  Insoles help to fully support the foot which helps to alleviate pressure points that can cause heel pain.

We carry a wide assortment of footwear insets, from full length inserts to ¾ orthotics to heel pads. We can also guide you into the right type of insert for your foot and bio mechanics.

Brands offered include: Aetrex, Superfeet and Spenco.
