Thorlos Value
Value comes in many forms. But we are keenly aware that it boils down to you get what you pay for when you pay $14.95 for a pair of Thorlos, we know you have to get a lot in order for you to consider it a bargain. And that's the goal we set for ourselves giving you so much more than you expect in terms of protection, comfort and foot health.
Over the years, our new and long-time loyal customers have told us time and again in their testimonials why they experience Thorlos as the best socks to protect their feet. They have highlighted six different types of value you can count on from your Thorlos, and that's why they consider Thorlos such a bargain. Here is what you can hold us to, and some recent unsolicited testimonials that capture what current wearers have shared regarding their personal experiences
Functional Effectiveness – Thorlos are designed to provide the best price/value proposition
"These are the first socks I've ever worn that both comfort my abused feet, stay up all day without slippage and yet do not constrict my calves. Love these socks!! Worth every penny." Susan J.
"These socks keep my feet warm but also dry. They're like nothing else I've found, worth the money." Robert F.
"I have worn these socks for years to work, at home and to bed. Love these socks, great fit, great support all day long, and wear forever wash after wash. Buy these socks and you will never buy any other sock." Kathy S.
Durability – Thorlos are designed to last
"Since I bought my first pair of Thorlos socks, I have bought no other brand. The quality and comfort are unique. I buy a fraction of the socks I used to buy because Thorlos last so long. I am sure I am paying less for socks because of that. Even after months of use and washings, these look great and fit well." Richard B.
"I wear these socks to work every day. I manage a large vineyard so in the course of my job I do a fair amount of walking each day and I have found these to be the most comfortable socks I have ever used. They may be a little more expensive than other brands but I will wear them three to four times longer and they still feel good after years of service." Rand D.
"I have worn Thorlo for at least 20 years. Nothing out there will stand up to the punishment of these socks. I don't have to buy but every 5 to 6 years. I love your socks! " Brent S.
"This is only my second time ordering because these socks LAST. I have other socks that wear thin in a year and get pitched. Worth the money considering the quality." Kendra L.
Evidenced-based Benefits – Thorlos have been clinically shown to reduce blisters, reduce foot pain, reduce pressures and wick moisture
"Cheap socks were giving my feet blisters if I walked even a mile. Thorlos socks have never given me a blister. Count me very satisfied. These are expensive socks, and worth every penny." Michael C.
"I no longer have plantar fasciitis in using these Thor-Lo socks, nor pain in my calves. Amazing cushion while I run both long distance and conducting my interval trainings. Highly recommended!" Thomas B.
"Thorlos are the best socks on the market. Quality is top notch, they last a long time, the cushion is great and they are MADE IN THE USA! THORLON has wonderful wicking properties and completely prevents blisters. Doesn't matter how warm your feet are when you take Thorlos off because your feet are dry!!" Peg G.
Satisfaction/Enjoyment – Thorlos foot protection provides unsurpassed comfort
"Anybody who is active in sports or spends a lot of time on their feet should invest in Thorlos [padded] socks as their product isn't just another pair of socks. They're engineered for maximum comfort in whatever sport or use they're designed for. If you're into tennis or running, you have a lot invested in your feet and footwear and clothing .It makes sense not to skimp on your socks after you've tried on a pair of their socks as their socks are the only brand I'll wear because after I discovered them ,I'd never wear anything else-they're that good!!" Stephen M.
"I LOVE ALL my Thorlo [padded] socks. These socks fit perfectly. They NEVER slide down during the entire day, yet they do not cut off your circulation. I have no interest in buying any other brand of sock." Dee Dee S.
"You cannot beat the performance and comfort of these socks. Buying them online is fast and easy. You won't be sorry you tried these socks if you like thick, comfortable, long lasting socks! And best of all they are made in the USA." Gary B
Brand Promise Guarantee – Thorlos: Your feet will feel better or your money back®. Customers reinforce our promise in their feedback:
"Our whole family of five wears Thorlo socks, you won't get a better sock anywhere! Definitely worth the investment...I guarantee you that you will be in love with these [padded] socks and will never buy others ever again." Shari M.
"I don't wear any other [padded] socks unless all of my Thorlos are dirty!! Until I tried Thorlos, I thought "socks" were "socks". NOT!! I have some Thorlos that I have been wearing....probably weekly or almost.....for over 10 years! No other socks compare as far as I am concerned. I wear them for hiking, backpacking, hunting, fishing, work, play...every day! Don't mess with my Thorlos! Buy some. I guarantee if you don't like them, you can give them to me!" Brent M.
"I bought these as a gift for a retired football player. He introduced me to Thorlos and guaranteed they were the best socks ever. He was right!" Rebecca T.
Service – Thorlos customer service matches our product performance
"I just wanted to send a quick note to say that Becky Bass is the most helpful customer service rep I've worked with, out of any business I've called or emailed! She was so nice, and an A+ example of terrific customer service. I'll definitely keep coming back to Thorlos. Thanks so much!" Sarah B.
"I rarely take time to do these kinds of things, but I want to bring to your attention the excellent (actually unbelievable) customer service that I received from Susan Graham. The details are available from her, but I had a small issue with placing a web order, and Susan went above and beyond to assist me. Her customer service, in short, was the best I have ever received from any company, period. This quality reflects well on both your leadership and the company." Scott C.
"I am a Disney trained customer service "nut". I will not give my business to those that don't give OUTSTANDING customer service. Susan Graham just topped everyone that I have done business with in several years. Her caring and concern for her customer is very apparent. My business won't make or break your organization. However, if Susan's attitude is representative of your company's culture THORLO is in good hands." Ronald P.
Overall Value Means More Activity, Resulting in More Life!
All of these values lead in one way or another to a better quality of life. We call it More Life! The ultimate value or end-benefit wearers of Thorlos realize is the ability to do more of what they love…the things that keep them vital in body, mind and spirit.
Here's what we've heard most recently about the Thorlos price-value relationship:
Style: LWMXW
No Blisters at Disney World!!
We brought a pedometer to Disney World and we averaged ten miles a day (20,000) steps. We also experienced (literally) monsoonal downpours on many days and slogged across the parks in our ponchos. These socks were full of water when we got home and we laid them out and they dried great. Best of all, through monsoons and ten miles of park hiking I had ZERO blisters in these socks!! Not even close. My son had the exact same experience and he has sensitivity issues. At first he thought the socks were furry but a day later he was in love. We're replacing all of our socks for school next year with Thorlos (slowly - they're expensive but now we know they're worth it). Thanks, Thorlos for a blister free vacation!
Style: XJ
Thor-lo socks are the most comfortible socks that I ever owned. They are a little expensive, but they last for years. Those are the only socks that I wear.
Style: XCMU
Great socks and worth the money.
You'll never go back to ordinary "footies" after you try these.
Style: XJ
Absolutely fabulous!!!
06/21/12 | By Lynn P .
My husband has suffered from foot pain for the past few years and we have searched for alot of different socks that might help with the problem. These are the first we have hit on that give him so much cushion and support that he comes home from work with a smile on is face and can actually go for walks once again. They are worth every penny we spent on them and more-thanks for a quality product!!
Style: JMX
Style: 84NRCW
Not just for running!
06/20/12 | By Julie M .
I love these socks even though I am now too old (bad knees) for running. They cushion my feet all day long regardless of activity. At night, I change into a fresh pair for sleeping. I'm a little old lady who can't sleep without socks on my feet and these are the very best socks I've ever used for sleeping... they keep my feet cushioned and cozy. Thorlos should market these to Senior Citizens with thin, bony feet.
Style: WMX
The softest and most comfortable sock on the market!
I have very flat feet and was introduced to Thorlo way over 10 years ago. These socks last a long time and wash extremely well. My sock drawer was cleaned out completely and was refilled with nothing but Thorlo - all different styles. Thank you for making such a wonderful product!
Style: TMX
Lights out for TMX's competition
There is NO competition when it comes to competing with the quality of the Throlo TMX Tennis Footwear. The materials and workmanship are top shelf. For a little more in price you get a lot more with regard to VALUE. Value as determined by comfort, quality and product longevity.
Style: LTHMX
Style: TWD
Great for riding
Love these socks with my boots. They last and don't fall down into my boots. Worth the price!

dc.description.abstract | α-Tocopherol has a well known antioxidant action but is also considered likely to exert significant non-antioxidant effects in cell membranes. Due to its lipophilic nature α-tocopherol inserts into biological membranes where it influences the organisation of the component lipids and may therefore influence biophysical parameters including the membrane dipole potential. The dipole potential has been demonstrated to modulate the function of several membrane associated proteins and perturbation of this physical parameter by α-tocopherol may prove to be a significant non-antioxidant mechanism underlying several of its cellular effects. This study investigates the influence of α-tocopherol, and the non-antioxidant structural analogue α-tocopherol succinate, on the membrane dipole potential employing fluorescence spectroscopy techniques with the dipole potential sensitive probe Di-8-ANEPPS. Similar techniques are utilised with the surface potential sensitive probe FPE to investigate the interaction of the charged α-tocopherol succinate molecule with membranes. α-Tocopherol and α-tocopherol succinate are shown to decrease the dipole potential of egg-phosphatidylcholine vesicles and Jurkat T-lymphocyte cell membranes. This effect is placed in the context of the significant influence of membrane cholesterol oxidation on the dipole potential. 7-ketocholesterol, an oxidised form of cholesterol, significantly influences several cellular processes and is thought to mediate these effects, in part, through its physical effects on the cell membrane. These include altering the composition, and therefore biophysical properties, of rafts; structures which are considered to support the function of a host of membrane proteins. This study attempts to correlate the effect of 7-ketocholesterol on the dipole potential of microdomains with the influence of the oxysterol on the function of two microdomains associated receptors: P-glycoprotein and the insulin receptor, assessed by determining the extent of ligand binding using flow fluorocytometry. α-Tocopherol has been suggested to inhibit the raft-mediated effects of 7-ketocholesterol and the influence of this molecule on the effect of 7-ketocholesterol on the dipole potential are investigated as a potential mechanism for this inhibition. It is hypothesized that α-tocopherols may protect against the deleterious effects of cholesterol oxidation in cell membranes by excluding 7-ketocholesterol from specific microdomains, of which rafts are a subset, acting to preserve their dipole potential and maintain the function of the proteins they support. However, where significant cholesterol oxidation has previously occured the concurrent changes in the microdomain landscape of the membrane is suggested to prevent α-tocopherol succinate from eliciting this protective effect. | en_GB |

Brindle Bear Brewing
I just finished my last bottle (always the best!) and it was really really great. The first bottles were awesome of course, but it really took about 2 months in the bottle for the torrified wheat to kick in and the tart character to fade out. The last bottle was creamy, smooth, with a rich dense head. Awesome! Must brew more of this immediately.
pandas are bears
I just sampled mine after 3 weeks in primary.. It tasted OK, not crazy about it. Kind of regretting using wyeast 3068.. Anyone have good results doing this recipe with wyeast 3068?
I just pitched the yeast on my first batch of this cider! Except. I think I put 1/2 pound of torrified wheat on accident. I was at the LHBS and buying a lot of grains in half pound increments. Cruise control ya know. Damn it! So, should I dump this one out? How bad is it gonna be with 8Xs the amount of torrified wheat?
In my batches its taken a while for the torrified wheat to really take effect, like by the 4th week you can really tell its there. I'd probably just try to drink it young, maybe not prime it too much. and pour it very very carefully haha. but no sense in pouring it out, its just an experiment right?
I think I'll start over. So I lose $40 in juice and grain, better than waiting 4 weeks to have 4 gallons of crappy beer.
I would atleast see what happens, when else would you purposefully want to experiment in the most insane amounts of head retention imaginable? but either way i hope it eitehr turns out okay, or your next batch is more successful
I agree with Sweetpoetatoe, just drink it early and enjoy My best bottle was at 8 weeks, but it was also the only bottle left since week 3 XD

Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that affects pregnant women typically during the third trimester. Most women who are diagnosed with gestational diabetes have never experienced or are predisposed to having symptoms of diabetes. In fact, all of a sudden pregnant women may have an excessive amount of glucose in their bloodstream. Especially, after ingesting high amounts of sugar or simple carbohydrates. It appears that the insulin receptors start malfunctioning or stop functioning properly which causes a high amount of glucose to be found in the bloodstream. Untreated gestational diabetes can be harmful to you and your unborn baby. It is important to follow your doctors orders and do your best to manage the amount of sugar or simple carbohydrates that you ingest.

Milton fire chief hopes voters step up for new station
Last year, a $2.7 million proposal to replace the town's aging fire station — which is comprised of a 200-year-old horse barn with an addition built in the 1950s — narrowly missed the required three-fifths majority. It was the fourth proposal since 2007 to fail to garner the 60 percent super majority.
While Marique said the town has kept the existing station well-maintained, he believes firefighters have done all they can.
A few years ago, police moved out the building to a new home on Townhouse Road. While this freed up space for firefighters, it did not affect the physical condition of the building.
Additionally, Marique said firefighters must follow strict parking and exiting procedures to ensure the safety of personnel, equipment and the building itself. Despite the precautions, he added accidents have broken some side mirrors and occasionally damaged garage doorways.

Genetic Engineering
GMO = Genetically Modified Organism
GMOs are created in a lab, by inserting a gene from one organism into another unrelated organism, producing plants and animals that would never occur in nature. No long-term safety studies have been done on humans, but animal studies link the consumption of GMOs to an increase in allergies, kidney and liver disease, ADHD, cancer, infertility, chronic immune disorders and more.
Say no to GMOs!
The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA)—Monsanto's Evil Twin—is pulling out all the stops to keep you in the dark about what's in your food. The GMA plans to sue in federal court to overturn Vermont's new GMO labeling law, H.112. And it's pushing a bill in Congress that would not only overturn every state's right to enact a GMO labeling law, but also legalize the practice of labeling GMO foods "natural."

We, the signers of this letter, were disappointed to learn that you refused to allow a representative of the Organic Consumers Association (OCA) participate in your SXSW panel, "Can Common Food Goals Find Common Ground?"
We understand that the reason for this is that you believe the OCA has "demonized" genetic engineering, and that you believe the health and safety of GMO crops and food are not open to debate, based on the science you have chosen to accept.

According to Cathleen Enright, executive vice president Food & Agriculture, for the Biotech Industry Organization (BIO), there is nothing to debate. GMO agriculture is "sustainable" and GMO foods are "safe." Anyone who says

In an acclaimed new book being launched Wednesday in London, American public interest attorney Steven Druker reveals how the US government and leading scientific institutions have systematically misrepresented the facts about GMOs and the scientific research that casts doubt on their safety.

Referring to the ongoing debate over GMO labeling laws, Vilsack (according to the Associated Press) told the House during a hearing on agriculture spending: "We could solve that issue in a heartbeat."
Consumers shouldn't have to rely on a technology that is not readily
WASHINGTON — In the ever-complicated debate over labeling of genetically modified foods, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack offers this idea: Use your smartphone.
Vilsack told members of Congress on Wednesday that consumers could just use their phones to scan special bar codes or other symbols on food packages in the grocery store. All sorts of information could pop up, such as whether the food's ingredients include genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.

It's a growing controversy: Should GMO foods always be labeled so consumers are aware that the product contains genetically modified ingredients?
GMOs—or genetically modified organisms—are created in a lab by altering the genetic makeup of a plant or an animal.

Thanks to marketing campaigns, squelched state initiatives and a flood of GE products on the market, the public has largely adopted this belief as well.
Would it shock the public to know that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has never formally approved any GE crop as safe for human consumption?

Good Boy Scouts don't need God
Depending on what happens at the Boy Scouts' national meeting this month, gay Scouts might soon be accepted into the venerable organization.
Full Story

Boy Scouts is gay already
Hamilton, UK |
May 13, 2013
It's good that the US Scouts are abandoning their prejudice against gays "But all the years of good Scouting and service were erased by a single dreaded word: atheist" is a badge of prejudice they surely don't need.
The UK's Scouts are even less enlightened. http://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources... Abandoning their founding ethos of inclusiveness, they demand a promise to god and a monarch. At least one group I know just 'forgets' the divisive, reactionary "Promise". What else would decent people do? The British Guides are still considering their position... https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/default.aspx... Still, that's just one way religion corrupts people. As the Jesuits shamelessly put it, "Give me a boy under 7...." It's wrong to conflate religion with morality. They're entirely different. |

I don't understand why people are so high on the BS of the BS.
A science club in school or computer camp on a weekend has more value than "scouting" for teaching kids something. A kids' soccer team has more value for getting them outdoors, making friends and teaching them teamwork. . |

Don't you have Children P? If a child or two goes to Scouts and enjoys it their friends naturally wish to join-in. In UK schools and scouts groups children sometimes find themselves segregated according to their parents' religious delusions. It has occasionally led to some ethnic tensions - all for the sake of 'religious freedoms'. No freedom from religion for the children affected of course. It's about the rights of parents and school boards. Religion's a pain in the neck in the UK. Still, it helps speed its decline. |

I don't know or care as sexual orientation is irrelevant. Gays can adopt children and are proven to make good parents. Personally, I think gay parents may provide a more healthy environment than religious parents - especially if the religionists are very fervent, fundamentalist, or prejudiced against gays. |

It's also not lawful, now you can have a relgious agenda so long as you don't get public funds, and thus violating the first amendment, but the Boy Scouts do get public funding and they have the relgious agenda and they don't accept gays and atheists. This is not constitutional under US law and should have been stoped years ago. |

[My alteration to quote] Can you hear yourself? Arguably then, perhaps religionists have no business being around children. "Give me a boy under 7...."

Hamilton, UK |
May 24, 2013
"The Supreme Court ruled in 2000 in favour of the Boy Scouts, saying that the prohibition against openly homosexual members was part of its right as a private organisation to free association." Fair enough. And all fair-minded people should recognise that this group posing as supporting 'wholesome virtues' places gay boy scouts in the position of putting up with second-class status and supporting a discriminatory and hypocritical group; or being divided from their friends when important (to them) activities take place and lessons are learned. Religion is nothing but trouble these days. There are no 'new atheists'. Non-believers like me have simply stopped being reduced to lying when trying to accommodate religious aggression and prejudices. |
