Eastern Mountain Sports are a big company specializing in niche sporting clothes and other outdoor things. I like EMS high performance socks because they wick away moisture and pad your feet in all the tender places when you’re breaking in new shoes. The socks I buy from EMS are expensive — over $20 a pair — but the high monetary cost is offset by the total comfort and conditioning they provide to feet that are always in motion on the rough streets of New York City.
