Brave the Cold with the Swany Supra Silk Sock Liners, Highly Recommended by the Women and Men of Whom You Know!

Description: SHELL:SupraSilk (80% silk/20% spandex with wicking capabilities). 8" length

You know we can't get enough of the Swany gloves, so we just had to try the Swany Supra Silk Sock Liners!



The women rave:

You know how they say if your feet are cold, the rest of your body will feel cold too.  I couldn't agree more as the cold weather this past week put this myth to the test.  I normally wear medium-weight cotton socks during the winter and while that's fine when the mercury doesn't dip too low, I definitely need something more once the temps drop below the 40's.  Bulking up with thick socks aren't the answer for me because not all of my cold weather shoes and boots can accommodate the extra room that's needed.  The answer to my dilemna are sock liners and the variety that Swany makes, the SupraSilk Sock Liner, are perfect.  These are super lightweight and are 80% silk.  Silk's known to be a great insulator in the cold weather.  The SupraSilk fiber is engineered to retain heat while wicking away moisture, making it very suitable for the athlete exercising in the cold, or the average person who's fighting to stay warm.  After putting on these sock liners, I pull my regular socks over them and there's no problem getting into my shoes afterwards, as the extra layer is that thin.  The difference in warmth, however, is quite significant.  An added plus with these sock liners is they don't retain any odors and are easy-care, just throw them in the washing machine along with the rest of your laundry.  For anyone living in colder climates, you definitely don't wanna be without them this winter!

There is nothing worse than cold wet feet when out on the slopes, going for a run or mountain biking in the winter. Swany, the leader in performance gloves, now heads south with their Supra Silk Sock Liners. These liners are amazing at keeping your feet dry and warm no matter how hard you are pushing it. Made of 80 percent silk and 20 percent spandex these liners hold up to the wear and tear you put on your feet. No matter what the conditions, these liners draw the moisture out faster than other type of sock. This results in allowing you to stay out longer feeling great. Thin enough to wear under what you normally use or go it alone. But I guarantee that once you start using them, you will never go without. Another superior performance product from Swany. Make sure to buy several pairs for your active lifestyle.


Swany's Supra Silk Sock Liners feel great.  The smooth, thin fabric fit easily underneath my athletic socks, without adding any extra bulk.  I expected my feet to be sweating within the first few minutes, since it's only been in the 50's the last few days.  But, surprisingly, the temperature remained comfortable all day.  This advanced thermal material does not retain odors, either.  I was able to wash the Supra Silk Sock Liners easily with my other darks, and they did not fade, bleed, or pill.  The second time I wore them alone inside my Uggs.  Whoever said to go barefoot inside those, did not consider what that would smell like after a few weeks.  The sock liners have been the perfect answer.  Alone, or inside another sock, the Swany Supra Silk Sock Liner is the way to go.


The men say:


The Swany Supra Silk Sock Liner is also a great item to pick up for the cold upcoming months.  These sock liners instantly warmed my cold feet the moment I put them on.  They are extremely thin and lightweight.  After putting them on, I barely knew I was wearing them!  Their thin design makes it easy to wear another sock over them.  The silk/spandex blend of fabrics helps to insulate your feet from the cold, while still allowing them to breathe.  Swany uses moisture wicking technology to draw sweat and moisture away from your feet keeping them warm and dry.  These sock liners are perfect for those extremely cold days, or for when you plan on spending the day outside in the snow!  I know I will be making good use of them this winter!  Go out and grab some today!  Your feet will thank you this winter!


I am a big fan of the Swany gloves already, so I was super excited to give these Supra Silk Sock Liners a try.  Fabulous for inside your boots, the sock liners allow your feet to breathe and keep you well insulated no matter what type of shoe or boot you wear.  There is no cold rushing up your pant leg with this superior model and it reminds me a bit of the athletic "tights" I wore when playing football.   Protecting both your calves and your feet, the Swany Supra Silk Sock liners are the way to go when you have to Brave the Cold in Manhattan, or where ever you may be!  



Sleek. That would be a great term to use to describe the Swany Supra Silk Sock Liner. Made of 80% silk and 20 % spandex the supra silk sock liner is an essential must during the cold winter months. It can be used for a variety of situations. These include casual walking in the cold, ice-skating, skiing or any other mid-winter activity. Instead of using those old thick and uncomfortable wool socks I would recommend using a pair of these thin liner socks. These are especially great in high alititudes where versaitility is needed.  Another key feature of the sock liners value comes in play with moisture control. This helps prevents thermal stability from the feet area as well as preventing those cold weather related skin irriations. I am looking forward to more winter time activites this year, especially having my supra silk sock liners in tow!






History of Swany:

Yesterday

From different sides of the world, two glove manufactures met by chance, thus launching a partnership that would give new shape to the snow and sport glove industry.

Our story begins back in 1895 when Elmer Little & Sons, a family run company located in the small upstate New York town of Gloversville, began specializing in upscale dress and casual glove production. Generations later, a well-known Elmer Little & Sons set out to create an overseas manufacturing operation. Impressed with the Japanese commitment to hard work, product quality and fair business dealings, Elmer Little began production in Gotembu, Japan in 1958.

Meanwhile, Swany Japan was an emerging leader as a dress and causal glove manufacturer in Japan. Swany Japan, seeking a venture of their own, created Swany America in 1980, which quickly gained respect and popularity among manufacturing peers in the US.

As this story goes, Swany America joined forces and acquired Elmer Little & Sons in 1987. Not long after, Swany was the first in the snow and sport industry to introduce the Flexor- a glove created from space age technologies. We use the same design that folks at NASA use in their space programs. Another proud accomplishment was the acquisition of the Hotfingers name, a brand that combines the latest hi-tech materials with a great value.

This was the beginning of the high performance sport glove program known around the world today as Swany.

Today

It’s over a decade since the production of our first sport glove and we still love our job - combining the latest textile technologies with the mind blowing glove designs that really work. It’s easy to see our passion for the outdoors through our innovative styles – we create lightweight, functional, stylish and most importantly – warm and comfortable gloves.

Although we’ve built eight offices around the globe and have presence in thousands of retail stores, our small company culture keeps us focused on what’s important – producing the highest quality glove on the market.
