It is no longer a secret that the most underrated garment of the last century has come out of the closet. Socks have never been the protagonist of any advertising campaign or any catwalk but something has happened, socks, attacking the front line scratching positions to other accessories and positioning itself as a participant of our style and personality. This has not only affected casual fashion and has burst directly into the world of Fitness & Sports.

American Socks are presented as the best socks for the gym, a good analog for Crossfit, Weightlifting and all variants of Fitness.
Inspired by the alternative fashion of the 60's, they have evolved to meet all our active lifestyle needs. But what are the 5 must-haves of sport socks? Here you go:

1. Sole protection. The re-invented knee-high socks feature soft cushioning in the sole and reinforced heel and toe, safeguarding your lower extremities from chafing while remaining high and firm during exercise, compressing your muscles.

2. Compression. During your gym or sport sessions, your muscles are working at maximum strength to keep you balanced as you exercise. Good compression in your lower extremities will help you optimize the effort.

3.Sustainability & High Quality Material. Unlike many other brands, American Socks are manufactured domestically in Barcelona under all environmental certifications and with a very high density of cotton, which in addition to being breathable, avoids unpleasant odors and cramping suffered by socks of poorer quality.

4. Breathability. Many brands offer technical material made of non-organic fibers that cook your feet in summer. We only use cotton and COOLMAX® fiber, both of which provide anti-odor qualities with high breathability and durability.

5. Style! The technical point of view is very good, but these high socks with stripes are undoubtedly stylish. We can wear them at the gym, in the box or practicing one of our favorite sports, such as running, cycling or skating without limits.

    HIGH SOCKS: HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST SOCKS TO SKATE. 

    High socks go hand in hand with skateboarding since its birth in the 1960s. American kids bored of hearing stories about communists and with the rise of the hippies found their new street passion: skateboarding.

    Inspired by surfing, which was the cradle for the Californian hipsters who listened to the Beach Boys, the skateboard culture invaded private pools, squares and streets. The first competitions and magazines did not take long to catapult this sport into the mainstream and it has not stopped growing until today.

    From our point of view, everything is an advantage when skating with old school socks. In winter when it's still freezing cold and you want to wear your shorts (total postureo!) to the most technical point of view. Read on to find out why high skater socks are hot!

    Here we leave you with the 5 reasons why to wear high socks skating.

    (Especially if they are American Socks 😉)

    1. They protect you from nasty shin splints. We all know that a shin splint can leave you shattered, apart from a nice bruise that will stay with you for several weeks. Wear them high, they are like a condom for your legs.

    2. They are pure Old School. Have you ever seen the first pictures of Stacy Peralta or Tony Hawk? Those guys have marked the way of dressing since 1975 and everything comes back. Today, in the 21st century, high skate socks are here to stay.

    3. Compression through a tube. During your long sessions in the bowl or on the square, your muscles are working at maximum strength to keep you balanced as you try to pull off that trick. Good compression in your lower extremities will help you optimize the effort.

    4. Bulletproof reinforcements. The soles and heels of your feet take a lot of punishment. That's why the entire bottom of American Socks is reinforced and padded. Normal socks from Primark (which you like for their price) break at the heel or toe in no time, that added to a good session in the Marbella of Barcelona is equal to a good blisters. What a damage!

    5. Breathe and let them breathe! Many brands offer technical material made of non-organic fibers that cook your feet in summer. We only use cotton and COOLMAX® fiber, both of which provide anti-odor qualities with high breathability and durability.

    If that's not clear to you, then you're on your own. We have socks for skateboarders and any of its variants such as longboarding and riding kiddo toys like scooters. 🔥🔥🔥

    Tired of not knowing which socks to wear in the morning because they are folded inside out? 🚫👎🏻 
    Don't worry, American Socks brings you the official way to fold your favorite socks 😌

    Here is the best way to do it step by step:

    1. First of all, put one sock next to the other, BUT be careful! One of the socks must have the design inside out! ✨ 

    2. Place the sock with the reverse side on top 🔝

    3. Fold the socks in half ☝🏻

    4. With one hand hold the socks and with the other stretch the sock you have inside out 🙌🏻

    5. Turn the socks inside out, again 😏

    6. And just like that: you have your sock burrito ready to be perfectly organized in your drawer! 🧦 🎉
