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

This guide has been designed to get newbies like yourself headed in the right direction.

Read the tips below and you'll quickly find yourself an expert!

Tip 1. You need to choose which compression is best suited for you.  Use our
           Compression Guide to determine the appropriate compression.

Tip 2. Still unsure?  You can always use our Shop By Condition tool to help you locate
           products designed to treat your specific condition(s).

Tip 3. Know what compression you need?  Use our Shop By Compression tool to
           narrow down our product offering to those products suited for you.

Tip 4. Why not learn more about the brands we offer?  Visit our manufacturer's page and
           click on a manufacturer to learn more about them and to view the products they
           have to offer.

Tip 5. Each product listing on our site has a details & sizing section found below the 'add
           to cart' button.  Be sure to click on the sizing icon to view the appropriate sizing    
           chart.  With graduated compression stockings (support hose), it is important to
           have an accurate fit.  This improves the efficacy and comfort of the product.

Tip 6. Measure your legs in the morning.  The goal is to prevent swelling.  Many people
           with venous (circulatory) disorders experience increased swelling as the day
           progresses.  Since we are looking to take a preventive step, it is important to take
           your measurements first thing in the morning BEFORE the swelling begins.

Tip 7. When in doubt, ask.  We have certified fitters available for consulation.  They have
            been trained to assist you in selecting an appropriate product.  For further
            assistance including personal product recommendations, please contact us and will
            will gladly offer our insight.
