Latest Product from Sealskinz

Sealskinz socks have a unique seamless three-layer construction that works together to keep your feet warm, dry and comfortable. The inner lining wicks moisture away from your skin and is made from either Coolmax, or in the case of the newly introduced Walking Sock £28, Merino wool for warmth and comfort. The waterproof, breathable membrane that makes up the mid layer typically has a breathability greater than 65% WVP. The outer layer is designed for extra durability and abrasion resistance with stretch properties to ensure a good fit. There are approximately 10 models in the Sealskinz sock range, each aimed at a different end-use.
Sealskinz Walking Sock with elasticated arch and ankle support
The Walking Sock is new to the range. Its mid-calf length makes it ideal for wearing with hiking boots and features an elasticated arch and ankle support to give a closer fit and reduce movement inside your footwear. It’s been a great success this winter and we’ll continue to sell it throughout the year- though regular customers should note that by Autumn 2010 it will have undergone a name change to “Activity Sock”, though the product itself will be unchanged. We’ll keep you posted nearer the time. With the name Sealskinz, almost synonymous with waterproof socks the other feature to note is that they are a truly British success story- manufactured in Norfolk.
These products are currently highlighted in our Peebles branch window displays where they will be on view until 26th march 2010. Prices and data may not be accurate after this time and inclusion on this blog entry does not indicate availability. Please contact our Peebles store directly before travelling in anticipation of a purchase.

Mad March excavations outside the Peebles shop

It's March and the road's department have some money to spend before the end of the financial year. The Old Town in Peebles is benefitting from this with major pavement re-alignment works going ahead at the junction of Old Town, Elcho Street Brae, Biggiesknowe and Greenside. Of course we are right in the middle of all this and currently the shop is surrounded by an attractive stockade of red and white crash barriers and cones. We expect this to go on for some time (nobody seems to be able to tell us exactly how long) but would like to re-assure customers that we will be open throughout and will be doing everything we can to ensure that the contractors maintain safe and adequate access to our premises. When it's finished, it will be a major improvement, with wider pavements and safer road-crossings for pedestrians to look forward to.
