If you’re like me, you’ve probably never given much thought to the socks you wear during the day-to-day grind of life, let alone on the golf course. I’ve been wearing Puma socks from Costco for years, and they’ve always gotten the job done – until now. Squid Socks is ready to change the game when it comes to performance socks for golfers; and guys, they aren’t messing around.
A sock was always just a sock for me – until it wasn’t. Let me tell you why Squid Socks are arguably the most comfortable pair of socks you’ll put on your feet.
Spoiler alert – you need to go buy these. Right now.
Innocent beginnings
I got to spend some time chatting with Gabe and Jessica Miller, the founders of Squid Socks, when beginning my initial review of the product. Their story started on a honeymoon trip, of all places, when a conversation with a cousin about their baby’s socks constantly slipping down and falling off sparked an idea. Through some thorough and extensive research, Gabe and Jessica found that there really wasn’t a good solution to the baby sock slippage in the industry. Years later, a new idea was sparked by comments and feedback from a friend who was an avid golfer that disliked how their socks always rolled down off their heels during play.
Squid Socks then evolved into something more, with an adult sock line coming to market. I personally couldn’t be happier that this expansion to adult socks came to fruition, as I don’t plan on going back to a different sock anytime soon.
Features and benefits
Breathability
Now, I know what you might be thinking. “Jason, come on. How can a sock really make that big of a difference?” And I had similar thoughts initially, too. That’s where this gets fun. Nothing about these socks is basic, from their material construction to their fit and function. Let’s start with the material, which is predominantly constructed of viscose bamboo. This allows for incredible ventilation and moisture wicking properties. My feet sweat A LOT, and I can say with confidence that these socks pull moisture away from my feet and keep them cool better than any performance sock I’ve worn in the past. I don’t wear a breathable pair of golf shoes in the G/FORE Gallivan2rs, and my feet truly do not feel hot with these socks on. That alone is a game change for me, but Squid Socks don’t stop there.
Traction
The second aspect, which I am equally impressed with, are the internal and external silicone heel grippers (plus silicone “Squid Socks” lettering on the midfoot). It was a fascinating conversation with Gabe and Jessica on just how much silicone type plays a role in what they chose to use for Squid Socks. Unbeknownst to me, not all silicone is created equal. Some doesn’t adhere well to fabric. Some doesn’t provide the traction it should. Getting this right was critical for them, and they knocked it out of the park. Once I am in my shoes, my feet are locked in. There is ZERO heel slip or forefoot slide within my shoe. The only way I can explain it is like this – you don’t know what you’re missing until you experience it. I’ve gone back and forth with my Costco Pumas, and the difference is immediately noticeable. Every bit of stability counts while on the golf course, and internal shoe stability was one I never thought of.
Comfort
As I mentioned above, this sock is predominantly made of viscose bamboo. Not only does it provide exceptional breathability, but the comfort and support this sock gives my feet has truly improved my daily comfort. A y-stitched heel provides an ergonomic fit and great arch support. I’ve got a high arch, so this has been a noticeable step forward in reduced foot fatigue. I’ve been suffering from some lateral foot pain the past couple months as well. As soon as I started wearing the Squid Socks, it was gone within a few days. I kid you not. The support these socks provide has literally made my feet feel better. There is enough compression to add that little extra level of support without feeling like they are suffocating your feet (I know you’ve worn some socks that do this. Don’t lie to me). The other feature I’ve been really enjoying is the dual blister tab on the ankle socks. It prevents rubbing and chafing from both the tongue and heel of my golf shoes.
Fit and sizing
Squid Socks offers a full range of sock sizes. I have big feet, typically wearing a size 14 shoe, and the XL fits me spot on. If, however, you run close to the top end shoe size for a specific range, I would recommend sizing up.
Durability
One of the main knocks I have on socks is how quickly they wear out in the heel and just below my toes. It seems like every time I buy another new set of socks from Costco, I am throwing away 4 to 5 pairs due to holes. It is early on with the Squid Socks, but extra cushioning in both the heel and forefoot lead me to believe that these will have better durability than what I’ve grown accustom to.
Game Changing Footwear
Yes, I said it. Squid Socks have changed the game for me when it comes to footwear. While I’ve always thoroughly researched shoes, socks were just one of those purchases where I bought what was available.
Squid Socks are available in men’s, women’s and children’s sizes in a now show and ankle cut (the ankle is my personal favorite). They are also available in a wide range of colors, allowing you to express your personality as much (or as little) as you’d like. Check out the “Power Pack,” it’s one of my favorites. Sizes range from small all the way up to XL, ensuring a fit for every foot!
Take your comfort seriously and give these socks a try. I think you’ll come away smiling.
