The latest member to the SocksAddict.com family is Icebreaker. The addition of Icebreaker further adds more running, hiking and skiing options to the large inventory found at SocksAddict.com
Icebreaker got its start in 1994 when Jeremy Moon was introduced to a Merino sheep farmer, Brian Brackenridge. Brackenridge showed Moon a prototype of a thermal t-shirt made from 100% Merino wool. Moon enjoyed it so much he wanted to sell them and soon began a laying out a business plan.
For Icebreaker, it’s all about functionality – better temperature regulation, mobility, sweat management and fit. Their roots are in nature and their designers constantly use New Zealand’s wild landscape as a source of inspiration.
Aleva Stores is full of glee to bring Icebreaker to the best sock site on the web, SocksAddict.com

Exponential growth led Aleva Stores, which operates AlevaLegs.com, to move to a bigger warehouse to accommodate their entire inventory. Previously operating out of a 14,000 square foot building, they have now moved to a 34,280 square foot building in Rochester Hills, Mich.
Before the warehouse switch was in effect, 2011 was already shaping up to be a huge year for Aleva Stores. In the beginning of the year, they bought out DocOrtho.com, which led to bringing in braces and supports for ankles, elbows, knees and much more.
Since then they have launched SocksAddict.com and RunningSocks.com. Before the launch of these two sites, Aleva Stores’ focus was medical compression stockings. The new sites make Aleva Stores involved in athletic, casual and dress socks.
The addition of the three online stores brought the total online retail sites Aleva Stores operates to nine. The larger warehouse will allow better organizing and storing of inventory for each online retail site.
The move for Aleva Stores is just another accomplishment to add to their 2011 resume and there are no plans of slowing down.

The family-owned and operated company, Feetures!, is the most recent addition to Aleva Stores’ inventory.
Hugh Gaither founded Feetures! in 2002 after 25-plus years in manufacturing for another leading athletic sock brand. He did so under his belief of there being a better way to create a performance sock using the latest sock technology.
Feetures! recognizes athletes of today need a sock that is specifically designed to help maximize their performance. Power bands of Lycra are strategically placed on the socks so it contours to the individual shape of each person’s foot.
PerfectToe is another valuable feature in Feetures! socks. With PerfectToe, Feetures’ trademark toe seam, the inside and outside of the sock is completely smooth – eliminating the irritation and discomfort caused by traditional toe seams.
Feetures! also provides some of the best wicking fibers around. They use a variety of technical fibers to create a comfortable and moisture-free environment for your feet. The fibers work to move moisture away from your skin quicker and accelerate the evaporation process – resulting in cool, dry, and odor-free feet.
The addition of Feetures! surely strengthens Aleva Stores’ inventory. Since Feetures! shares similar visions and promises as Aleva Stores, it was an easy call to bring them on board.
The appeal continues to expand at Aleva Stores’ SocksAddict.com – the best sock site around.

The latest additions to Aleva Stores’ ever-growing inventory are socks manufactured by FITs Socks Co.
Started in 1902 as Crescent Socks Co., the family-owned FITs Socks Co. continues to operate out of the oldest hosiery mill in the United States. At one time, Crescent was manufacturing over 30 brands before deciding to market their own high-quality products as FITs. The reason for it was to respond to what they called “an industry-wide epidemic of ill-fitting socks.”
FITs socks are designed to be the best-fitting outdoor performance socks on the market. Each sock delivers added benefits that are uncommon in most other socks. All the socks are constructed from two-ply, compact-spun, ultra-fine Merino Wool – providing the ultimate blend of softness and durability.
Once the Aleva Stores team tried on FITs Socks, they knew it had to be added to inventory. Visit SocksAddict.com to purchase FITs Socks.

Inventory for Aleva Stores’ braces and supports store, DocOrtho, continues to grow as Swede-O products are the latest addition to the online store.
Swede-O is recognized as a worldwide leader in providing innovative products designed to prevent or rehabilitate ankle-related injuries. They have also expanded their product offerings to include orthopedic supports for almost every part of your body.
What’s remarkable is Swede-O was founded out of a garage in 1981. The company’s founder, Marvin Nelson, started out with just one product – the Ankle Lok. The Ankle Lok is the most popular lace-up style ankle brace in North America.
As Swede-O grew, they realized not everyone’s ankle and/or injury is the same, so 12 different styles of ankle braces were developed to suit almost any situation.
The addition of Swede-O was an easy decision as Aleva Stores continues to bulk up DocOrtho.com and build it to be the most optimal destination to purchase braces and supports.
The acquisition of DocOrtho.com was an important one for Aleva Stores, just as adding Swede-O to its inventory is. The four-plus million dollar inventory for Aleva Stores only continues to grow, as we provide a fresh idea on shopping for our consumers

Refusing to slow down, Aleva Stores adds Dahlgren socks to its online stores. Dahlgren began in 1978 and was founded by Ray and Diane Dahlgren. Together, they went on to develop a sock that keeps the feet cool and dry during high-performance activities.
As time went on, Dahlgren continued to evolve in how they made their socks, but their commitment to quality remained the same. Dahlgren also promises to ensure all production on the Dahlgren line remains in the United States.
Dahlgren is known for its effective Dri-Stride Technology. Simply put, it absorbs moisture, transfers it, and then evaporates the moisture. With its patented Wicking Rings and Wicking Channels in the Transfer Zone, the rate and quantity of moisture removal is increased by 40 percent from the Absorption Zone in the toe and heel.
Dahlgren combines superfine alpaca and merino wool in order to provide all-day resilience. This way, your foot will remain cushioned throughout the entire day. Alpaca is three times more durable than worsted wool and 10 times more insulative.
Every style of a Dahlgren sock is engineered for optimal fit, performance and comfort. When it comes to design, function, and technology, Dahlgren is a go-to choice for a sock that works for you.
Dahlgren socks are available in three series – Casual Series, Outdoor Series, and Winter Series. The Casual Series is full of socks that can be worn everyday; the Outdoor Series contains socks you can wear wherever an adventure takes you; and the Winter Series is full of socks to keep you warm while you’re out in the cold.
The Dahlgren line can be found on the latest site launched by Aleva Stores, SocksAddict.com.

February is an important month for our hearts. Not only do we celebrate Valentine’s Day with the ones we love, but it is also American Heart Month. Since 1963, Congress has required the president to proclaim February “American Heart Month.” This is for good reason too, as cardiovascular disease is the number one killer in the United States. Did you know, approximately every 25 seconds, an American will have a cardiac event? Most cases of heart disease can be prevented as well. To honor American Heart Month, consider getting your blood pressure and cholesterol checked. Compression stockings can also help your heart stay strong by assisting the blood flow. The socks will help add pressure on the veins, forcing the valves in the veins to open and close – helping the blood circulate back to the heart. The bottomline is, let’s all do our best to be better aware of cardiovascular disease and lead with a healthy lifestyle – not only during American Heart Month, but our whole life.

We have been in the compression therapy industry for nearly 40 years now and have always been a firm believer in the efficacy of graduated, or gradient, compression stockings and garments when treating venous disorders and for prevention of conditions such as DVT, or deep vein thrombosis, which can often lead to pulmonary embolisms. Well, word has finally gotten out. The Surgeon General just released a call to action report on the prevention of DVT. Graduated compression stockings from manufacturers like Futuro, Activa, Therafirm, Jobst, Sigvars, Juzo and Mediven play crucial roles in this effort. We do our best to spread the word, but petition YOU, our customers, to do the same. Tell your friends. Tell your family! Tell your neighbors!! Compression stockings (support hose) are great for even those without symptoms. We could all use a little support!
08-01-2008
We just made a large investment to increase our inventory on Therafirm products. We are now shipping over 98% of all orders within one (1) business day and are always working to speed that up even more. Thank you to everyone for their continued support of AlevaLegs.com. We look forward to serving all your future compression therapy needs.

The day has finally come. AlevaLegs.com is officially open for business. As many of you already know, we have been selling compression stockings online for nearly 5 years at Foryourlegs.com. Our experience led us to notice a need for a site focusing on value-priced compression therapy garments. Our slogan at AlevaLegs.com is "Healthy legs don't have to cost a leg". We are committed to identifying quality compression stockings and providing them at a much more affordable price than the name brands. If you still want the name brands like Jobst, Sigvaris, Mediven and Juzo, then you can still find them at www.foryourlegs.com. However, if you're looking to save a buck, AlevaLegs.com is for you!
05-17-2008
