An eroded grip
One simple slip can cause a whole lot of damage. Think ahead and order a new pair of socks if you notice the grip on your old pair has eroded.
Missing socks
Another one of the signs it’s time to buy new socks: you only have half a pair. You can’t exactly put on one sock and let the other foot go solo! Instead, order a new pair to keep both your feet comfy and covered!
Dirty, smelly socks
Ugh, you’ve washed that pair of socks like three times! Not only do they still smell like, well, feet, but they also look dirty and stained. As much as you may not want to part with them, they’ve officially reached the end. Toss them out and get another (cleaner!) pair.
Drooping socks
If your socks look like someone’s pulling them down, they officially can’t do their job. You want full coverage. Otherwise, your feet may get hurt. Opt for a replacement pair if you notice this sign!
The elastic of your socks works hard to keep the fit tight. When it overstretches, your socks will slip—and that can cause blisters. Or, if you wear compression socks—like ours—they can’t do their job.
Do your socks cause friction when you run, hike, or stand on your feet all day? That means they aren’t protecting you! Instead of agonizing over sores and blisters, get a new pair.
Hey, that’s your big toe poking out! While the sight may make you laugh, it also should let you know without a doubt that you need new socks.
If you notice any of these signs it’s time to buy new socks, go ahead and treat yourself to a pair of Rhino Wearables. We promise, the comfort they offer will make everything better again! Plus, learn more about our socks and healthy foot care on our blog. And if you don’t know which kind of socks to buy, read all about the types we offer here.
]]>Obviously, this is one of the best reasons to keep your feet dry with Rhino Wearables if you want to avoid embarrassing foot odor! Sweaty, dirty feet in damp socks are a recipe for disaster. To clarify, it’s a breeding ground for lots of bacteria that can lead to smelly feet.
However, Rhino Wearables are designed with moisture-wicking technology for all-day temperature control.
Here is one of those reasons to keep your feet dry with Rhino Wearables that seems like common sense. Socks protect your feet from harmful bacteria and foreign objects by providing a safe barrier.
Damp socks promote the growth of certain fungi like athlete’s foot. Dry socks protect them. It also a good idea to wear shower shoes at the gym or community pool to avoid picking up this foot fungus!
Again, clean, dry socks will help block this highly-contagious virus from ever entering the foot. Like athlete’s foot, these warts love warm, damp places like locker rooms and pools.
If you still need a few more reasons to keep your feet dry with Rhino Wearables, how about preventing painful cracked heels? Wearing clean, dry socks helps establish the proper balance of moisture to restore damaged feet.
Wet socks soften and weaken the skin. Therefore, wet socks promote blisters. Rhino Wearables not only boast moisture-wicking properties, but they also have double-layer patented technology that prevents friction. This means a no-blister guarantee!
When you wear properly-fitting dry socks, you are giving your feet an extra cushion when walking. This added cushion helps lessen discomfort with things like bunions or ingrown toenails, for example.
Finally, keeping your feet dry with Rhino Wearables has been known to lead to “happy feet!” Discover that feeling for yourself by ordering your first pair at rhinowearables.com today. For more about our socks and foot care tips, keep reading our blogs.
]]>Let’s start out with our shortest socks: ankle socks. They reach, you guessed it, your ankles.
During a hot day, they offer an ideal option. Wear them for summer walks, trips to the store, or even lounging around the house during the hotter months. You can also pair them with tennis shoes or dress shoes, to stay blister-free while avoiding that high waters look. Finally, ankle socks also stand up to long days working on your feet.
We offer ankle socks like the Stride Tab, the Endurance Double Tab Closeout, and the Coolmesh II Tab.
You can also explore our single tab ankle socks and our double tab ankle socks.
Lo quarter socks offer a happy medium between ankle and quarter socks. Their length rests partway in between the two.
While their construction—and our moisture-wicking fabric—means less sweat on summer days, you can don them any day of the year. Whether you need them to keep dress shoes or boots from blistering your heels or you want something to wear while exercising, you can’t go wrong with lo quarter socks.
Rhino Wearables sports a variety of lo quarter socks. You can order choices like the Running II Lo Quarter, the Kids Coolmesh II Lo Quarter, and the Coolmesh II Women’s Specific Lo Quarter.

A standard quarter sock stretches over your shin, but stops around your lower shins. For those with diabetes or circulation problems, quarter compression socks—like ours—can make an enormous difference.
They also help you beat the heat! Wear quarter socks to your next hike, run, or sports game.
Looking for your own? Choose from pairs like the Coolmesh II Merino Wool Quarter, Stride Quarter, and Endurance Quarter.
If you want the standard quarter socks, shop our full collection here.
Now, we’re heading into chillier days with crew socks! Usually, they rise above your ankles, reaching your calf, but not covering it entirely. Depending on the weather where you live, these socks make excellent options for both fall and winter.
So, where and when can you wear them? Around the house, of course. Or, during the cold months to keep you warm and improve your circulation. Additionally, you can also wear them while hiking, to keep your legs protected from obstacles like thorns and even pests like ticks.
Some of our crew socks include the Eco Hike Crew, the Kids Escape Crew, and the Running II Crew.
See our full selection of crew socks here.
Last but not least—some serious winter wear! Over the calf socks are the longest items on our list of socks and what they’re good for. If you need to warm up, put on a pair of over the calf socks.
They can help you pass through the winter without worry. You can even wear them to bed. They will help prevent poor circulation from keeping you awake. And, they may even help you fall asleep easier, since you won’t have to worry about cold or discomfort.
Like crew socks, you can also wear them for outdoor exercising in the cooler months. Or, if you stay on top of trends, you might know that over the calf socks are in now! They pair well with skirts or dresses for a throwback ‘90s ensemble.
Prepare for winter with a pair of our over the calf socks.
You can start every day off on the right foot with Rhino Wearables! And, thanks to these styles of socks and what they’re good for, you’ll have the right socks too. Then, you can focus on what truly matters: living your life to the fullest.

]]>Ever heard of something called the “Double-Layer Difference”? Rhino Wearables socks come with two layers, which protect the most vulnerable parts of your feet.
Stinky feet—we’ve all been there, and we never want to return. We also know how uncomfortable it can be to hike miles with sweaty feet. Moisture-wicking socks—like ours—can keep your feet feeling fresh.
Ah, yes—temperature: another reason that Rhino Wearables are great socks for hiking. Whether you’re hoping to avoid hot, sweaty feet or you want to stave off the cold, our gear stays up to the task.
When you hike, you want to focus on your surroundings. After all, you need to stay safe! And, not to mention, you want to take in all that natural beauty too. Keep your mind on the hike—not your aching feet—with our comfortable socks.
Ouch! How many have us have realized that we have a blister—and that we’re halfway through the hike? Instead of sadly walking home on tender feet, hike comfortably with a pair of anti-blister Rhino Wearables socks.
Stop the endless cycle of buying and replacing subpar socks! Not only is it costly, but it means your feet are suffering a lack of protection from the thin, worn-out fabric. You deserve durable gear that can match up to your skill level. In other words, you deserve Rhino Wearables!
Hiking offers a chance for you and your family to bond. You’ll never have to leave the kids behind—or take them home with blisters—with our Escape socks designed for children. You can also learn more about finding well-fitting socks for your little ones here.
Imagine finding the sock with all the right features—only to realize you don’t like the length or look. Our hiking collection comes with a variety of different style options, so you can choose the pair that best fits you.
How are your old socks looking now? Tell them good-bye—and say “hello” to your new favorite brand. If you’re planning an excursion this year, find out just why Rhino Wearables are great socks for hiking by investing in a pair (or two) of your own. You really can’t find a better companion—at least for your feet!

]]>It may seem silly or even simple, but this is one of the tips for being on your feet all day that gets forgotten. However, pay attention to those feet! Wash them thoroughly daily. Moisturize them daily too.
It’s also good practice to check them daily for cuts, sores and other changes.
We feel like this is a no-brainer, but many people don’t think about their choice in socks. But they should! That’s why Rhino Wearables offers the Wrightsock™ Double Layer® patented technology. These blister-free super socks also provide all-day comfort through moisture-wicking and temperature control.
Check out the science and advantages behind our socks here!
Again, this is one of those tips for being all your feet all day that sounds like common sense. Yet, people buy shoes that are too small all the time. Consider shoe shopping at the end of the day when your feet are naturally larger. Sometimes going up a half size is a good idea too.
Whether you stand or sit for most of the day, this tip is key. Take regular breaks and stretch! Calf raises and the runner’s stretch are good stretches to get the blood pumping. You can also try moving your ankles and wiggling your toes up to three times a day.
After a long day on your feet, come home and pamper those workhorses. You can use your hands to massage the bottom, tops and arches. You can also use a tennis ball or rolling pin to gently roll your foot over to help relax tight muscles.
Continue the pampering and put those feet up. Elevating your feet reduces the day’s swelling.
Feet so swollen and achy that it hurts to walk? Get home and immerse those tired tootsies in an ice water bath. Soaking your feet in ice for about 20 minutes speeds up recovery while reducing swelling and inflammation.
Take the first step toward happy feet by browsing our varied collections. Let Rhino Wearables sock it to foot pain with extra comfort, support and more. Read our blogs to uncover more foot care facts and tips!
]]>The American Diabetes Association does important work bringing awareness to diabetes. It also provides resources for those living with the illness. That way, those who have diabetes—and their families—have the tools they need. They also fund research on diabetes, to provide better management and prevention—and, hopefully, a cure.
Approximately 34.2 million Americans—close to 10 percent of our population—have been diagnosed with diabetes. You can show them you care with Rhino Wearables.
Each and every day, we aim to make life easier for those with diabetes. This mission starts with our compression socks. However, it doesn’t end there!
We make supporting the American Diabetes Association with Rhino Wearables simple and straightforward. All you have to do? Buy any pair of our socks. Then, a portion of our profits goes directly to the American Diabetes Association.
As it turns out, diabetes and healthy feet share a connection. Because those with diabetes sometimes experience numb feet, they may not always notice foot-related injuries. Sadly, this can turn a small cut into a big problem. In fact, as many as 73,000 foot-related amputations occur due to diabetes—and that’s a yearly statistic.
So, if you or a loved one live with diabetes, remember the following tips:

]]>Sure, the perfect shoe can fit like a glove in the store. But, does it fit when your child dons a pair of socks? When choosing socks—and shoes—you should keep this relationship in mind.
Wet socks can spell trouble! Stinky smells, rashes, and blisters—they cook up a recipe for disaster. Explain to your child the importance of keeping his or her socks dry. Also, tell him or her that he or she can change socks at any time. You can even suggest bringing an extra pair in his or her backpack. Or, if you have a young child, carry around a backup yourself.
Tight socks can cause cramps and blisters. You want your child’s feet to have some wiggle room. It’s okay if your kid’s socks are slightly—but not overly—loose. After all, he or she will grow into them.
Everyday socks tend to come in lighter materials. Socks intended for running around and playing sports, on the other hand, merit a thicker build. Our socks offer the double-layer difference. So, if your young athlete needs a pair that to help his or her feet stay happy, try our socks.
Don’t forget to switch out your socks according to the seasons! Like Goldilocks taught us, no child wants to be too warm or too cold.
Choosing socks for kids can lead to frustration and tantrums. Sometimes, the easiest way to make kids carry out a task is simply by making it seem special! From engaging colors to cool patterns, the look of your child’s footwear can bring the fun.
The length of the sock counts! If your child has a standard day of school or relaxing ahead, then shorter quarter-length socks will work. Or, if your kid has a game or day of playing outside on the horizon, long socks fit the bill. Additionally, you should consider fashion etiquette! After all, no one wears long socks and a dress or shorts to a fancy event.

]]>A good place to start when it comes to preventing blisters on your feet is to pay attention! Do a daily foot check. Look for potential trouble spots or even small cracks. Apply ointments, lotions or petroleum jelly to keep feet moisturized. But not wet!
One good way to do this is with the right sock. The right sock wicks away moisture. The goal is to keep your feet cool, comfortable and dry.
Proper footwear is a big player in terms of our tips for preventing blisters on your feet. This includes shoes that fit and again—the right sock. In this case, it means double-layer socks.
Cramped toes led to friction between the toes and the sides and end of the shoe. It can cause toes to rub together, leading to blisters. Try shoes on when possible. Make sure the heel stays in place.
For exercising, leave room for expansion. To clarify, there should be a finger width between the end of your toes and the end of the shoe.
This circles back to paying attention. Put a bandage over irritated spots. Or just…
We saved the easiest out of our quick tips for preventing blisters on your feet for last. You may have noticed a few mentions of “the right sock” as a solution to keeping feet dry, cool and stopping friction.
Luckily, one pair of Rhino Wearable socks can solve all of the above!
Did you know Rhino Wearables have a patented double-layer design? The double layer is key to blister prevention! Instead of fabric rubbing your skin, fabric interlocks with fabric. Problem solved.
Did you know Rhino Wearables wicks away moisture? Well, they do. The sock material keeps feet dry, which leads to temperature control. This means feet stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter!
To summarize, don’t wait for a blister to order your first pair of Rhino Wearables! Shop by activity, style or weight. Click here to take the first step toward “happy feet.” For more foot care tips and tidbits, read our other blogs!

Show your feet some extra TLC! You should wash them with lukewarm water only. Then, dry them off gently with a clean washcloth. You can follow that up by moisturizing your feet. Keep the lotion away from between your toes—or you may end up with a fungal infection.
Check on your feet each day. Look out for any changes, like swollen areas, red parts, or wounds. Then, take appropriate action. You may need to draw a circle around any red sections, to see if the redness spreads. If it does, that could indicate an infection—and it merits immediate medical attention.
It may sound strange, but if you need a reference point, you can always take a clear picture of your feet. That way, if you tend to be forgetful—or you’re helping a family member manage his or her diabetes—you have a point of reference. This resource can also prove useful if you notice any changes or need to go to the doctor for questions.
You don’t have to be beach ready, but it pays off to look after your nails. Always cut them straight along the proper length. That way, you don’t have to worry about ingrown toenails.
Wallet, keys, phone—we all have that muscle memory habit before we leave the house. Well, one of the most important diabetes foot care tips adds a fourth step: shoes. Turn your shoes over, shake them out, and look inside too. That way, you can ensure that you won’t step on a rock or twig and accidentally hurt your foot.
Sand—or dirt, or mud—between our toes can lead to infections or cuts. It’s best to simply just wear shoes!
We don’t exactly get excited for a doctor’s visit. Still, you shouldn’t let your apprehension prevent you from taking appropriate medical action. From corns, to sudden changes in your feet, to pain—you should always see your doctor when necessary. And don’t forget about regular foot exams!
One pair, one day! That’s the rule of thumb—or maybe the rule of toe. So, switch out your socks every day.
You need a pair of socks designed with your health in mind. Rhino Wearables socks improve circulation, making them the ideal choice for those who live with diabetes. You can even wear them to bed!
You deserve to live comfortably! These diabetes foot care tips may make a marked difference in your every day. So will a pair of Rhino Wearables socks! Shop through our spectacular stock here. Finally, you can also learn more about the benefits of our brand when you read our blog.
