I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to review a pair of Inspyre socks. When I first received them in the mail, I honestly wasn't too sure about the color, and they are labeled size 8/13, so I didn't think they would fit as I am a size 7. However, they ended up fitting really well. I was searching about a year ago for high socks to wear at my Spartan Race, and it seemed like each one I found was either too high, or not high enough. The Inspyre Crew Socks are the perfect length that I was looking for (I'm 5'2.5").
I was also really happy that they felt like they had a tiny bit of compression in them. I took them on a fast paced 2 mile walk, and was very pleased that they didn't fall down once, and they weren't too warm. It was 80 degrees outside, and my feet felt cool the entire time. The color actually turned out to match perfectly with my Steeler's shirt! :-)
I love the message on the back "Step Up". It reminded me that it's time to step up and be a better role model for my children. To stop worrying about every little flaw with my body, and to start loving how strong my body is and everything it has done for me. They see me work out on a regular basis, but they don't see me being loving enough to my body. I normally would have never posted a picture like the one below, as my eyes focused right in on the imperfections in my legs. But being reminded to "Step Up", I chose to post it, and to be real. So many pictures on social media only show what people want to be seen - most people don't want to show their flaws. Well, I am an athlete; I work out 5 days a week, eat a (for the most part) healthy diet, and I still have cellulite, stretch marks, extra skin, etc. My body is not perfect, but it has done so much for me. It carried and delivered 2 healthy babies, it nursed those babies for a year each, and it allows me to run, jump, lift, and push myself to limits I never thought possible. My body is beautiful; flaws and all.
I will definitely be purchasing these socks in the future! Check them out at http://inspyrsocks.com/, or via their Instagram page @inspyrsocks. They have a great selection of motivational sayings and colors, and they come in Tall, Crew, Ankle, and Youth. I love the "Never Quit" Crew Socks and just may have to add them to my collection!
