Wigwam Rebel Fusion - Review
I am trying to sift out just why I like this sock so much. It’s called the Rebel Fusion, and it is revolutionary.
First, I am not unbiased; Wigwam extended me credit to carry their socks back in the early ‘70’s when the only credit I had was the 120 hours of college credit I earned to graduate. But then, Wigwams also always fit well, lasted a long time, and protected my feet better than just about any other brand. And, the worst washing machine I ever had could not kill them, although it regularly shredded shirts and underwear. But this sock goes to a whole new level. They’re part of Wigwam’s Ingenius series which is a sock and liner combined. This saves money, there is no chance for folds or wrinkles between layers, and of course they’re simple. But the real deal here is that the selective padding in the sock is just right for all day on your feet, running, hiking, working, or whatever used to leave my feet tired, blistered, or sore. They’re constructed with an olefin lining attached to the rest of the sock in such a way as to eliminate blister causing friction, and the outer sock layer is a blend of nylon, spandex and merino wool with loops to provide cushioning and yet not feel “squishy.” And they come in a “no-show,” a quarter top, and a full sized crew. Hands down they are the best I have ever used.
Trust me on this. I know I am loyal to the folks who helped me get started, but I can have any sock in the world in my drawer, and I do have just about any sock out there in my drawer, but the Rebel Fusion is the one I use. If you don’t like ‘em, I’ll buy ‘em back!
