I never thought much about the socks I chose to wear.  Whether I was on the lacrosse field, running a marathon, running around a hospital during residency, standing for hours in an OR–I just grabbed whatever, usually white, cotton sock I could find a match to.  Now, however, I dare to say that I am a sock snob.   Yes, I’ve swapped out nearly my entire sock draw to fill with socks called  ‘Incredisocks.’  There is some pretty incredi-ble technology behind these socks.  They are both antimicrobial and they increase blood flow due to carbonized charcoal technology so  I have made them a part of several of my patient treatment protocols (ie, no more stinky feet).  What a recent post by a Runner’s World blogger  revealed is that they also improve skin tone.  And I have to agree.  Try applying ARCH Sole Savor Creme to dry heels, them slip on Incredisocks.  Do that for 2 weeks and I bet you’ll notice the difference.  My favorite Incredisocks are the Pro-3s pictured here, in varying ankle lengths (ie, ‘no sho’ for spinning, ‘cut above’ for ankle boots, etc.)  Any my tip is to buy a size down so they fit a little snugger.  Trust me, just try ’em!
