Socks Against Breast CancerSocksWH is a new line of sports socks designed to fit the shape of a woman's foot. Fox River has also teamed up with the National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations (NABCO) to spread the word about breast cancer awareness.
Fox River Mills is helping in two ways. First, it is donating a percentage of profits from sales of its Fox River for Women™. Second, every package of the Fox River for
Women socks will include information for women about the importance of early detection of breast cancer, as well as contact information for NABCO.
SocksWH sock styles include: fitness, running, light hiking, hiking, backpacking, travel, walking, court, golfing, snowboarding, skiing, and light skiing in various lengths.
A Woman's Foot
How does a woman's foot vary from a man's? First, women's feet are
generally smaller. Second, women need a more rounded toe box. Third,
women have narrower ankles. Women have four times the foot problems as men
(usually due to their dress shoes creating those problems) and need a well-fit
sock in addition to a well-fit shoe.
I can attest to that - after
switching to shoes that didn't irritate my bunion, I still found myself in pain
on some days. Why? My socks! I discovered that wearing too small
of socks was forcing my toes together and irritating my bunion area. I
have since switched to larger socks to eliminate that problem.
