You know, it’s hard to get excited about socks.
I mean, they have a really basic and boring job: they serve as a buffer between your foot and your shoe.
I have cheap socks, expensive socks and even socks that I got rid of when I bought them cheap golf shoes, off brand a few months ago. The crazy thing is, with some of the more expensive socks I’ve bought, I couldn’t wait to get the damn things off my feet. Some of the cheapo socks, on the other hand, did their designed job well.
My current sock drawer leans towards Kentwool ankle socks and a random collection of crew and compression socks.
You can call him Sock Drawer of Schizophrenia.
Say what, however, these new Heathlander Golf Socks It might just be the Xanax my sock needs.
The new Heathlander golf socks: clean, simple and comfortable
Heathlander has been a MyGolfSpy favorite for over a year. I know spikeless golf shoes it hits the holy trinity of comfort, stability and style, with more than enough traction to keep you from slip-slidin’ away.
These new golf socks I am a more than worthy partner. They’re light, incredibly comfortable and, as we learned over a few fall rides in New England, very warm. They are made from a blend of fine Merino wool and an advanced material called CLIMAYARN©. They combine to make a pair of dandy socks.
CLIMAYARN® is made by Schoeller Textil AG, one of the world’s most respected innovators in technical performance fabrics. The Swiss company dates back to 1868 and has built a reputation for creating high-performance textiles used in outerwear, workwear, protective clothing and premium lifestyle products.
Schoeller is often referred to as the “Inside Intel” of premium outdoor apparel.
CLIMAYARN®, second Heathlanderoffers exceptional softness, natural temperature regulation, rapid moisture wicking and lightweight durability. After a handful of walking laps, I can’t argue with that.
Heathlander does his socks with seamless toe construction and a reinforced, padded heel and secure arch support. I know it’s just a pair of socks, but if they’re going to do their job, they might as well do it right.
I am how darling?
The new Heathlander Golf Socks go for $25 a pair. You can get three pairs for $70 or five pairs for $100.
Crazy for a pair of socks? Almost certainly. But the first law of sockonomy it is almost always universal: the durability may or may not be better, but the materials almost always are. They are usually more precise with the sizing, so there is less bulk and slipping. They also have better moisture control with targeted cushioning and never underestimate the value of a good seamless toe cap. That one will surprise you.
For basic everyday use around the house, you won’t notice a bit of difference between the cheap and stylish. Walk 18 holes, though, and you probably will.
Tread carefully, friends.
Heathlander is new golf socks they are available in a low-cut ankle style (white only) and a crew-length style (navy and green). They come in men’s and women’s sizes.
A quick word about the Heathlander Winter Cashmere Collection.
After a summer break, Heathland’s Winter Cashmere Collection is back in stock. If you haven’t howled about $25 socks (and, really, a few pairs for golf might be worth it), you can howl about a $240 sweater vest or a $320 sweatshirt.
But don’t, at least until you’ve heard the whole story.
For years, I only owned one cashmere sweater. I bought it when I played at Carnoustie a decade ago and paid way too much for it. Here it is 10 years later and it’s still top dressing. It’s soft, stupid-comfortable and much warmer than you think, considering its weight.
U Winter Cashmere Collection presents a classic the neck and V-neck pullover such as those mentioned above waistcoat and hoodie. The Heathlander vest ($240) is made from the same cashmere as the crew and V-neck and comes in dark green and burnt orange. The cashmere hood ($320) is a bit of an outlier. It’s a hooded sweatshirt with no zippers, pockets or strings, and it’s made of cashmere. It is very much a hood for adults.
Crazy price for a hoodie? Almost certainly, but a good piece of cashmere will last so long that they can bury themselves in it.
Now that’s what I call value.
