Have the Coolest Feet on the Street with Happy Socks! Preventing frostbite on feet and hands when hiking in below freezing?


No shows are more comfortable i general so I'd say go for them, but crew socks are good if your in the woods or whatnot when hiking at camp.

My advice? Get both.

Would also stick to grey. I find grey doesn't look as dirty as fast and you can keep them longer wash after wash. White just get's too dirty looking.

That's my two cents!

how do you make hiking boots look good?

i have these tannish hiking boots & i'm going to camp tomorrow, but i don't want to look like a dork (since i usually do) so what's a good way to wear my hiking boots to make them look "cool"? just things with accessories (i.e. anklets or ways of wearing socks or something), not anything to do ON the boots.

thank you!

change the shoelaces to pink

What socks should i get for camp??

Im a guy. It is mostly outdoors (playing sports, goin to beach, A & C,drama, lots of SUN!!!) There is a little bit of woods. There is also a canoe trip where you need to where gym shoes in the canoe ( so socks would be needed). I only want to buy one kind. Where should I buy it? can ugive me links to sites that sell them. Give me reasons

2 PostCare™ Patient Education Getting Out of Bed After Surgeryhttp://www.PreOp.com
Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO
his program provides you with tips to help you get out of bed after abdominal or chest surgery for patient education
For the first few days when you come home after surgery, it is always best to have a family member or friend help you to get out of bed.
Do not get out of bed directly from lying flat. Always sit up in bed for a few minutes.
Move the bedcovers well out of the way. Move nearer to the side of the bed. Pivot your body and legs so that you are sitting with your legs dangling over the side of the bed. Hold the mattress with your hands for support and keep your back straight.
Gently swing your legs back and forth, bend and stretch your ankles and twiddle your toes. If you feel faint or weak, go back to bed for patient education
Have your helper put on your socks, and shoes or sturdy slippers with low heels and non-slip soles.
Use a footstool if the bed is too high for your feet to reach the floor without sliding off the bed.
Stand still on the floor with your feet slightly apart for a few seconds.
Have your helper put on and fasten your robe.
For the first few times out of bed, when you feel strong enough, walk a few steps to a bedside chair with arms.
When you reach the chair, turn round so that your calves are touching the front of the chair.
Bend your knees, grasp both arms of the chair firmly and lower yourself backward into the chair. Reverse the process to get out of the chair for patient education
At any time,

* if you feel weak
* or dizzy
* or have chest pain,
* let your helper get you back to bed
* and inform your doctor.

Some additional tips for the helper to follow for patient education

* Make sure your own footwear has non-slip soles.
* Remove any hazards from the floor, such as slip rugs, frayed carpet or linoleum, or electric cords.
* Stand at the side of your patient, not directly in front
* Avoid lifting your patient under the arms. This can cause pain or dislocation of the shoulder joint.
* Never let your patient put arms around your neck
