Stretches for a Tight Achilles
Your Achilles tendon, which connects your heel bone to your calf
muscles, is the largest tendon in your body. It's built to take a lot of
force, but it's far from invincible.
An Achilles tendon that is tight or not properly warmed up can lead to
trouble during activity. It can cause heel pain by pulling excessively on
the heel bone, or it can become inflamed or rupture.
Warming up your Achilles tendons before activity is always a good idea,
and especially so if you know
yours can be a problem. Here

What Makes a
Great Sock?
The humble sock. We often just grab whatever pair we can find in the morning and slam them on our feet before
heading out the door. But a great pair of socks can make a big difference in your day!
Depending on your needs, the type of socks you use can make the difference between dry comfort and cold, wet
misery.
Here are a few tips for sock choices depending upon the situation:
? If you walk a lot or hike, then moisture and friction are big concerns you want to address. Good old cotton
is not a good choice in this situation, as it tends to keep moisture (i.e. your foot sweats) close to the skin
and increases your chance of blisters. Opt for Merino wool instead. It's breathable, soft, and not itchy as you
might expect. A great choice for treks!
? If foot odor is a concern, then breathable socks are a must here, too! Merino wool is a good choice once
again, but you can also find sports socks with ventilation panels, as well as socks with synthetic liners. Socks
with antibacterial properties might also be worth considering. Look for brands like Coolmax or Drymax.
? For fancy events, silk is a good way to go for formal comfort. However, keep in mind that they come with a
higher price tag and don't tend to last as long as more durable wools or cottons. Use them sparingly.
If your feet just aren't comfortable through the day, your socks might be a factor--or it might be something else!
