Do designer socks make good Christmas presents for men?

We asked 100 of our followers if they thought designer socks made a good Christmas gift? We aimed our question at the male market. I think everyone knows a female is much less likely to appreciate a pair of socks for Christmas, well, unless they are for your Nan!

Going on the feedback we received the basic answer is ‘yes’  they do however; the brand of the socks is a very if not the most important factor. For example, getting your boyfriend a pair of ‘designer socks’ from Matalan is not going to be as appealing as a pair of nifty Lyle and Scott designer socks this winter. Other brands which came up in the feedback where: Happy socks, Hugo Boss socks, Armani Socks, Ralph Lauren socks, Paul Smith socks and Ted Baker socks, although there were several mentions that Ted Baker can be found at Boots. As far as we are aware, boots are not selling Ted Baker socks, but there already is this mental connection made between brand and store, so Ted Baker is perhaps the lesser of the choice our of all of the above mentioned.

Buying the socks from an authorised stockist is key, no one wants a knock off Nigel pair of socks off eBay, and presentation boxes where also very popular however, this will bite into your budget, as these lovely gift boxes can actually cost more than the socks in the first place.

The great thing about getting a pair of designer socks as a present is you can achieve it with a £10 budget should you wish, they are quite flexible in sizes, so quite unlikely they will need to return them having being too small or too large. Designer socks can make a person feel more confident, and as our feedback shows, this would make a great Xmas gift for a loved one as it can make you feel more sexy!

There are several pictures of designer socks over several mentioned brands with links to help you with your ideas of what kind of designer socks are available for men this winter.

How High is Too High?

Finding the correct heel height is really quite easy, provided that extreme fashion does not get in the way. However, it is undoubtedly a key issue when shopping for shoes, as heels that are too high can result in some very unpleasant health issues. Before diving into how to solve the comfort versus fashion debate, it is important to know what heels that are too high actually do.

There are two major issues that come with high heels and they are the ankles and the knees. Over the years, wearing high heels causes unnecessary strain on the ankles and can cause a growth to develop on the back of the ankle in order to adjust to the unnatural position. Additionally, high heels create an overall, unnatural walking position, which can also put strain on the knees from displaced impact. These are not the only risks associated with high heels but are the most common and unpleasant.

So what is the ideal heel height? In general, no more than three inches. However, there is some flexibility here depending on the type of heel. Normally, stilettos are never, ever recommended but if they are worn, shorter heels are always better. There is just no advisable way around it. For pointy heels such as these, two inches is the recommended height. For more height, go with wide heels like wedges. Comfort typically equals healthy feet and wedges can provide more comfort at higher elevations. For wedges, four inches is the absolute maximum, though really three and a half inches is ideally the highest. The same typically applies to boots, provided the heel is wide enough to support the whole foot`s heel. For heels that are in between, two and a half inches is the ideal height.

Usually, a woman tends towards too high heels, but not always. Wearing shoes that are literally and totally flat, like flip-flops and flats, is not good for feet either. There are two reasons for this that can vary from person to person. For instance, most people have a natural arch to their foot, so arch support is necessary for long term comfort and foot health. However, a certain level of thickness is also needed to displace some of the natural impact of walking, as well as miscellaneous objects such as pebbles, sticks, pieces of glass and other such objects found on the ground. So, even for those who are flat footed, it is always better to have, at the very least, a half an inch of heel. Wearing paper thin, flat shoes is essentially like walking around barefoot, which can be nice, but is not recommended for long periods of walking. For “flats”, the general height recommendation is one to two inches. These are the basic guidelines to use for shopping, but ultimately the feet do the talking. If extended wearing of the shoes causes heel or ankle pain, it is probably because the heel is not the right height.
