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!

Custom Sock Source Skater Skull Knee-high Black and White Striped Crossfit Socks
Hey Everyone! We have new socks churning out of our creative minds all the time. Since our Black and Pink CrossFit Skull Socks
sold so well, we decided to make a whole bunch of colors. Starting out
with a Tim Burton-esque Black and White CrossFit socks. If you share a
yearning for nostalgia, fun pairs of socks, or just simply love good
quality, check out our socks here on Amazon: Skull CrossFit Socks.
It's obvious this pair shares a certain correlation with some of your favorite movies:
Wicked Witch Striped Socks from "The Wizard of Oz"
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.

Hello CrossFitters! We've been cooking up a storm trying to create the highest performing, and most visually grabbing CrossFit socks. We decided to go Argyle and in blue for these Custom Knee-Highs.
