CrossFit Socks made for US Military

Memorial Day just passed yesterday and it reminded us about our fallen nation's heroes. I feel proud and grateful of everyone in our military, from


To salute our nation's heroes we've put a few more designs into our production.


Stars and Stripes forever!
Over the past few months, I have sent hundreds and hundreds pairs of socks to military bases. There is a reason they want our socks: they are highly durable.




Meet Sergeant Pain

Also if you take notice, check out the small notches on the Sergeant Pain sock. If you look on the front of the foot, we have arch support surrounding the base of the sock. This both protects the front of your foot, as well as your sole. Also, on the back (Just below the skull of Sergeant Pain), you can see the same notches. This is our Achilles heel protection, and it wraps around to the front towards the shin as well. 

Let us know what you think! And also you can check out our entire selection of great CrossFit socks at:


Thanks for reading, and thank you to our committed military heroes!

Kettlebell Socks, Poods, and Swings!

Introduction to our Kettlebell Socks
Now check these bad boys out. We know CrossFit people love stripes, but we know they love Kettlebells more. At the So Cal CrossFit regionals, we saw nothing but Kettlebell, Kettlebell, KETTLEBELLS! Being a major part of the workout, and the equipment seen in the gym, the Kettlebell is intrinsic to the CrossFit culture.

What is a POOD?
I started to research about Kettlebells, and a lot of pictures on Google Images came up with the word "Pood". The first idea popped into my head was being 7 and thinking the word POOED was funny. Pood has nothing to do with fecal matter. Well, as a young person of my generation I always consult the most reliable source, wikipedia, when I need to know something. So here is what Wikipedia says about what a POOD is :


Pood (Russianпудpud), is a unit of mass equal to 40 funt (фунт, Russian pound). It is approximately 16.38 kilograms (36.11 pounds).[1] It was used in RussiaBelarus andUkraine. Pood was first mentioned in a number of documents of the 12th century.
This is not a Pood
This looks like some good Pooding
Wrapping Up
I understand how this applies to a WOD and I think it's a great exercise. It raises your heartrate, works your core, and trains a lot of muscles within your body. No wonder these CrossFit people are in such impeccable shape.

Preparing for the CrossFit Games 2012- More Kettlebell

We know the CrossFit games are going to be HUGE this year. Last week, the 2011 CrossFit games were on TV, and a lot of my friends were very confused about the whole workout event. I went to the regionals last week, and man was I impressed. But anyways, we asked ourselves, what would be the coolest, most bitchin' retail socks we could create?


"More Kettlebell" CrossFit Socks

We took the inspiration from this SNL clip:


We hope you like the socks and find them comical. Also, we do know that our socks have the best quality, and are the most comfortable socks I've ever worn. 

So we're looking forward to the CrossFit Games and hoping to see everyone compete. We will probably head down there July 13-15 to see everyone from around the world to compete.

I will post videos from the So Cal Regionals soon.

You can always check out our CrossFit socks at Amazon here:

The CrossFit Games 2012


The CrossFit Southern California Regionals will be taking place basically down the street from where we work, at the Pomona Fairplex from Friday May 11-13. We've decided to go down to the Regionals for a few reasons:

  1. To understand and learn more about the CrossFit culture and community
  2. To see how many people bought our CrossFit Socks
  3. To watch the Top 60 Men and Women CrossFitters compete
  4. To have a good time!
CrossFit Games Regional


Furthermore, we are gearing up for the CrossFit games in July 13-15. We have prepared a large order, and I mean a LARGE order of CrossFit socks to be ready for the CrossFit Games. Personally, this will be my first CrossFit event, so I will be very excited. I plan on bringing my camera, (or my Iphone 4S and yell at Siri to take pictures for me). Hopefully, I will see our collection of our signature CrossFit socks from Amazon on some of the athletes feet/calves.


 

So that's it! I hope to see everyone there at the Regionals! It's looking to be like an intense but fun event. Hope to see you all there!
