For top comfort in ski boots: the new BLACKSOCKS ski socks
We all know what it’s like. It’s the beginning of the ski season and, full of enthusiasm, we start getting ready to hit the slopes. We take a look at the pile of old ski socks we abandoned in a drawer last spring and think to ourselves: “I was going to buy some new ski socks last year … .” There is now a simple, convenient solution to this annual problem. From today on, BLACKSOCKS can deliver ski socks to your door.
HIGH COMFORT THANKS TO LATEST TECHNOLOGY These high-quality socks have been developed in Switzerland. Thanks to special technological features, they provide a very high level of comfort and luxurious sense of well-being for the feet.
For comfort: The «In&Out» friction-free technology prevents rucking and unpleasant pressure spots. The comfortable, soft finish at the top does not cut into the leg, and a special padded section protects the sensitive shin area. The flat seam is loop-stitched by hand to ensure a soft finish and testifies to the quality of the manufacturing process. For warm, dry feet: The socks are made from finest Merino wool (44%). This has the unique property of providing both good insulation and high moisture absorbency. The polypropylene (13%) conducts the moisture away from the skin and keeps the foot evenly dry and warm. For odour-free feet: The silver ions have an antibacterial effect and reduce unpleasant odours.
Get ready to hit the slopes! Ski socks available from today from www.blacksocks.com in sizes 36-38, 39-41, 42-44, 45-46 and in black/grey mix for CHF 42.-/EUR 29.- (incl. VAT, postage, packing and delivery).

Back in 1999, BLACKSOCKS launched a completely new idea designed to free mankind from sock stress: the sockscription. 9 years later, the sock pioneer has good reason to celebrate: the delivery of its one millionth pair of calf socks and a large number of sockscribers in 74 countries.

BLACKSOCKS celebrates the delivery of its one millionth pair of calf socks
An idea takes over the world In the summer of 1999, the idea of a sockscription was first dismissed as crazy. But before long, word had spread, and by the turn of the century, BLACKSOCKS had already accumulated over 1000 sockscribers. The growing number of satisfied customers helped to carry the idea of a sock subscription out into the world, and within a short time, orders were arriving from all over Europe and overseas. In the meantime, BLACKSOCKS has acquired 40,000 customers worldwide – 40,000 people who live a life free of sock stress.
European production and quality pay off In collaboration with a Milan-based manufacturer, BLACKSOCKS works constantly on the quality and development of its socks. Made of the finest yarn from long-fibred Peruvian Pima cotton, the silk of South America, BLACKSOCKS socks offer outstanding comfort. Modern production techniques ensure a high degree of colour fastness and make the socks a premium product. In 2003, the calf socks were tested by the Swiss consumer magazines Kassensturz and Ktipp for the first time and awarded the top mark. In the most recent test carried out by the two magazines in February 2008, the best-selling calf socks were declared test winner out of 16 competitors. One million pairs delivered After 9 years’ experience in the sock business, BLACKSOCKS founder Samy Liechti takes stock: “We are very pleased with the awards for good quality and delighted to see the number of our satisfied customers constantly rising. This confirms that our concept works. The choice of a manufacturer in Italy has been worthwhile since it is easier for us to check on quality at a European production location. Today, we’re celebrating the delivery of our one millionth pair of calf socks, and we’ve come one step closer to our vision of freeing man from sock-related stress.”

BLACKSOCKS expands its product range with a travel toilet bag
Ideal for Hand Luggage Thanks to our loyal client base, BLACKSOCKS knows the needs of busy men and creates an innovative product to suit them: a completely ready-to-go toilet bag which allows trouble-free travels with hand luggage. With security regulations on airports in force since November 2006, travels with hand luggage have become considerably more complicated. Liquids in toilet bags lead to complications at security checks. BLACKSOCKS has tackled this problem by providing you with a fully equipped travel toilet bag which meets all security standards. BLACKSOCKS Travel Toilet Bag The transparent toilet bag made of washable PVC provides you with the necessary insight. The most important care products have already been packed by BLACKSOCKS according to security regulations. The high-quality products by ClarinsMen and Trisa Switzerland guarantee an ideal body care on the way: a moisturising gel (12ml) for daily facial care and a shampoo for skin and hair (30ml) from the product line ClarinsMen, a convenient foldable travel shaver and shaving foam (50ml) also from the product line ClarinsMen. Furthermore, a foldable travel toothbrush by Trisa and the corresponding toothpaste Trisa clinical white take care of your dental hygiene. Individually or on Subscription The travel toilet bag has been available in our online store since 25. August 2008 at www.blacksocks.com. You can either place individual orders or a subscription (three times a year a new toilet bag).
One prepacked toilet bag (single delivery): CHF42 / EUR29 Toilet bag subscription (3 prepacked toilet bags per year): CHF119 /EUR85 All prices include VAT, free packaging and delivery.
