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:

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 (Russian: пуд, pud), 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 Russia, Belarus 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.
