Testimonials» Tim, 2nd Lt. USMC serving in Afghanistan "I received a package today in Afghanistan from my uncle. He informed me that the socks were manufactured by Twin City Knitting. I just wanted to say thank you for myself, on behalf of my Marines and my Major. I handed out a few pairs to my Marines and my Major that were on duty with me at the time. They were very appreciative and excited about having new socks. After our weapons, the next most important thing to all Marines is our feet. I know that their feet are now in great socks, so they will be good to go. My father sent me a few pairs of Slog Series Trekkers, the real heavy-duty cold weather socks, before I left for Iraq in October; and they were the best socks to have during the winter. With the arrival of these Slog Series Topo lightweight socks, I am sure they will be just as excellent as it starts to heat up quickly out here. Thank you again for your support." » Al in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA "To all you sloggers out there, I have found the best sock out on the market. It's the Slog Series by TCK. I've been hunting several miles back in a state forest with cold feet for the last five years; I had warm feet for the first time with the Slogfest Xtreme and Slogfest Liner, and my feet stayed dry while slogging several miles to my watch. I bought my Father-in-Law a pair as a happy hunting day gift. He used the Slogfest Xtreme and the Slogfest Liner for the hunt this year, and said, 'I've been hunting in this area for over fifty years and this is the best pair of socks I've ever worn.' Give them a try and you'll see how much you love them. Recently I've been wearing the Stamina for every day use and they don't need washing for days. TCK has some great products with superb service to compliment it." » Mark in Saratoga Springs, Utah, USA "I wanted to give you some feedback. The Topos are the most comfortable socks I've ever worn! I work for a Wilderness Therapy program in Utah and have worn quite a few different kinds of socks during my time in the field. I now work in the office and don't get the oppurtunity to hit the trail much anymore, except on my off time, which is when I tested your socks. My feet sweat a lot so heavy thick socks don't work for me, but these socks fit tight, didn't slip, and let my feet breathe. Thanks again for the oppurtunity to test your socks, I will be getting some more in the future and will inform our field staff of your brand." » Aaron in Alberta, Canada "Wow, I don't think I've ever had a better pair of socks on my feet before. They feel fantastic." » Harold in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA "Your catalog mentions only taking one pair of socks into the backcountry so I thought I would put the Topos to a similar test. I wore them for a combined total of 10 hours over three days of heavy exercise (trail running and biking). I didn’t wash them once and stored them in my car in the Salt Lake 95 degree weather. I have to admit I was quite surprised that the socks did not stink after each wearing and I was not disgusted from putting on worn socks. They were just as comfortable from day 1 to the end of day 3. I have to say these socks really rock! You guys have an awesome product." "I also wanted to give you some feedback on your socks during the last adventure race. Once again I must admit your socks rock. Usually after 11 hours of competition my feet feel like spaghetti. I used the same pair I have been training with on the bike, run, and kayak section of the race. The kayak section started four hours into the race and my socks were totally drenched. I thought for sure I was in deep trouble as I forgot an extra pair. But for the next 6 hours those socks totally protected my feet from the pounding and the cold. I didn’t have one blister which was a first!" » Jesse in Vale, North Carolina, USA "I have slogged in the Appalachians, the Sierra Nevada, the Himalayas, the Andes, the Rockies, the Cascades, and above the Arctic Circle, bagging more than 300 peaks along the way. I have also bicycled across the United States twice and plodded the downtown blocks of nearly every major city in America in some pretty nasty weather. With such activities, footgear is pretty important, and a pair of TCK's Slogfest Crew is the versatile choice for me. These are compact, comfortable, durable, and more than suitable for any hardcore slogfest. With other brands, I might have to pack an extra pair, thus adding weight and bulk to my gear load. With the Slogfest Crew, I only need what I have on my feet. These can be worn for days at a time, and the lack of odor is simply astounding. When I want blisters, frostbite, holes in my socks, or reeking feet, I will wear something else." » Dylan in Bend, Oregon, USA "I wore TCK socks when my wife and I embarked upon an extended bicycle tour throughout Latin America. We pedaled thousands of miles in these socks, and they still seem like new. In the tropical regions, we sweated profusely, but our feet always felt dry when we pulled them out of TCK socks. The other socks we experimented with along the way did not hold a candle to TCK. My feet know what to wear when hardcore adventure calls my name." |
