Want to know an easy way to upgrade your workouts? No, it’s not some obscure chemical compound or a reindeer antler topical lotion. It’s socks. No, really, hear us out: Unless you’re swimming, there’s not a more crucial item in your workout wardrobe than what’s between your vulnerable skin and the fabric of your shoes. How that vital mid-layer behaves can be the difference between going to the well and limping home in shame. Right now, through Amazon Prime Day, some of the best high-performance socks made are on sale at significant discounts, so if you’re ready to level up your workout wardrobe, now’s your chance to shop the best fitness deals. Don’t jog it in, these Prime Day deals won’t last for long.

First, priorities: If you buy one pair of socks, buy the Balega Hidden Comfort sock. Its no-show height is perfect for low-cut sneakers and running shoes alike while staying put even during the dog days of summer. A seamless toe ensures no chafing or abrasion, while a specially cushioned bottom works in tandem with your performance shoes to reduce impact on every joint between your toes and neck. And, my god, they’re comfortable, with a fully synthetic, moisture-wicking yarn that’s like butter against the skin. If perfection is a sock, then its name is Balega.

Some running shoe stores are essentially built on the sales of the Hidden Comfort, and they’re perennially coveted by runners around the holidays looking to bolster their sock drawer. Right now you can knock three bucks off each pair through Amazon Prime, which may convince you (and it should) to pick up one and then add in a spare.

Red Wing’s newest boot color is too blue to be true
Suede, Boots, Footwear

Denim and boots have been part of the working-man’s closet for a century — but sometimes, even the most rough-and-tumble outdoorsman wants a flex piece. Enter: the new drop from Red Wing, in a phenomenal shade of blue.

The Minnesota brand released the 8809 Classic Moc this week in a new Tidal Blue Muleskinner leather, a deep indigo developed exclusively at Red Wing’s own S.B. Foot Tanning Company. It’s a limited-edition run on one of the most recognizable silhouettes in American footwear.

Watch, Hand, Shaker

Timex and Todd Snyder just released the Marlin Mesh, the latest entry in one of menswear’s longest-running watch collaborations.

The Marlin itself is a genuine vintage design, pulled from Timex’s 1960s archive. Snyder and Timex first revived it back in 2016 as a Todd Snyder exclusive, and it was something bigger than just a new watch — it was Timex’s first step back into mechanical movements after years of quartz-only releases.
