Hey everyone! We put more of our great styles, now in different colors! First we had the Ultimate CrossFit Grenade Socks in Black and White, now we have them in Army Green and Red. Our one of a kind Knee-High CrossFit socks come with a ventilator mesh top and Achilles Foot protection.
Now this has an alien/godzilla/lizard feel to it. Definitely almost something relapsed from the 90's, maybe the Godzilla remake movie with Matthew Broderick? It's a good thing that after this, we will have the next sock available, "WODZILLA". Hopefully a whole bunch of CrossFit gyms will go crazy after that :).
Looks familiar, doesn't it?
That's fair game, but don't underestimate these babies. First they Achilles tendon and arch support (check around the gear). And second on the front, you get a little extra padding and breathing, as well as a little Crossfit signature on the toe.
I hope you enjoy our socks and they make your WOD much better, and more fun! How many CrossFit guys would like to see some performance crew socks?
Why do I love these socks so much? I don't know why, I just do. The simplicity of the grenade symbolizes so much. To me, mostly strength.
It's strong. It's Explosive. It's demanding. It's everything I want for a symbol of an athlete: Strength, Agility, Aggression, and Determination.
I did coach swimming for two years at Claremont McKenna College. It's a small private school in sunny Claremont, California and also my home town. While learning as much as I could as an Assistant Coach, I wanted to be more creative and more innovative with the sets I created. As a distance swimmer miler, (I swam the event that requires lap counters and hours of time for all the heats), I was bored. Seriously, what is more boring and challenging than starting practice, and spinning your arms and kicking your legs for two hours STRAIGHT?
The hard question I had to ask myself was, how do I make this interesting? How do I challenge myself to create an innovative practice?
The answer came to me one day: Explosive Training.
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:
To understand and learn more about the CrossFit culture and community
To watch the Top 60 Men and Women CrossFitters compete
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!
“Love, love, love my socks. Exactly like the photo…good support and cool to look at! I don’t mind the PAIN at the gym anymore!”-for our Sergeant Pain CrossFit Socks

“Great and fast service, socks are wonderful!”
So there you go. We take pride in the quality and reliability of both our socks and our services. If you’ve bought from us, tell us what you think in the comments. Oh ya. Get your CrossFit socks soon, because the #CrossFitGames will be coming up shortly!
Now these socks were inspired by Roller Derby Girls. With so much to inspire us, we noticed a commonality between CrossFit chicks and Rolly Derby Gals- they're tough. And so are our socks. Don't be afraid to check out our socks on Amazon.
We've decided something as of late. The opportunities are endless for us. The opportunities are endless for CrossFit. We stumbled upon an idea, a movement, a new way of life. A new direction- we're going full board with these CrossFit Socks.
Today I'm going to write about my growing affinity for CrossFit.
1. Pukie the Clown
Now this is hilarious. What better mascot than a clown who works out too hard, projectile vomiting on a gym floor? It's shocking. It's hilarious. It's CrossFit. It summarizes the audacity and pure, a consistent theme throughout all Crossfitters.
And what about the name? Pukie. Are you serious right now?
This thing looks like a jacked/rhoided out version of Krusty the Klown, drinking beer and taking meth.
2. WODs
One day a WOD could be like this: And like this on the next day
Why this is so great you ask? Variety. I feel like when you walk into a CrossFit gym, you don't know what to expect. One day you could be really challenging yourself aerobically and your muscle endurance, then the next day could be pure strength.
3. A new Gym Culture
I used to swim. I actually swam for over 15 years. After graduating school, and giving up my dreams as a professional swimmer, (we all can't be Michael Phelps), I found it difficult to work out. I tried everything.
Lifting. Lifting and cardio. Running. Cycling. Running and cycling. Walking on a high incline for an hour and a half. And to be honest- it's all boring.
Then I saw a video about the CrossFit culture. It's a new way to approach the gym. Instead of lazily walking into the gym, pumping four bench presses, walking for 10 minutes, then hitting the showers, CrossFit engages you mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
You are apart of a group. You are apart of something new, and different. No more being a slave to the treadmill. No more working out aimlessly, alone, disconnected.
And the best part about a WOD, it's generally short. But obviously produces results.
4. Unique Gyms
A Unicorn vomiting rainbows on the Hoff?
No gym is the same. They are everywhere. They have their own identity. This is changing the way we approach fitness. Fitness is a sport.
5. Top 10 CrossFit SLOGANS:
1. "Strong people are harder to kill than weak people; and are more useful in general."
The more and more I Google Image Crossfit people, the more tattoos I see. A little more edgier than your average gym goer. I have two tattoos, and plan on getting more. But upon coming from under the needle, applying lotion to my wounds, I realized tattoos give you a sense of identity and self-expression. NO PAIN, NO GAIN!
Also I think it's important to reject norms that don't make sense.
Like running on a treadmill for hours upon hours at low intensity.
