Wicking vs. DryMax

If you haven't noticed, MOZO offers socks as well as shoes. Is it just because everyone knows socks and shoes belong together? Well, actually MOZO Shoes and MOZO Socks could very well constitute the ultimate dynamic duo--and here's why:

"Drymax: Drymax Socks and fiber Technology

Drymax has completely revolutionized the way that we think about socks.

Most sport sock manufacturers claim that their socks wick the moisture away from the foot quickly. While this may be true to some extent, the question is, where does that moisture go? The fabric in a sock that wicks sweat away allows the moisture to adhere to the sock, which ultimately makes the sock wet. The sock may dry quickly when laid out in the sun, but that doesn't help you while your foot is inside of a boot. Wicking fibers require evaporation to dry and little of this happens in the closed environment of sport footwear.

Drymax has devised a fabric which forces the water through the sock and away from the foot. This helps keep the foot dry inside the boot. This may seem like it's been the goal of every sock manufacturer out there all along, but the science to make this happen has never been there before to do it right. Drymax is the first sock manufacturer to really do it right. The socks do exactly what they're supposed to do. They help keep your feet dry!"

And who wouldn't want dry feet when you're running to and fro around the kitchen, or around the hotel, hospital--you name it? In case it still doesn't make sense as to how these socks work exactly, check out the demo video below from DryMax.

Don't listen to us... Listen to the chefs!

We all know that times are tough nowadays, and laying down more cash for a pair of work shoes may not be top on your list of necessities. However, we'd like to argue that this may be exactly what you need to do. But, please, don't take our word for it... Australian Chef, Matthew Godge, creator of ProChef360.com, has been in the culinary business for more than 21 years and knows what works in a kitchen and what doesn't.

His blog post, "Looking for the Right Chef Shoe," clearly spells out the importance of finding a shoe that cushions well and has all the standard slip resistance a chef shoe should have. If you were ever on the fence about spending a little more for better quality, listen to Chef Godge:

"...your pairs of chef shoes should always provide you with the best protection, comfort and satisfaction. In terms of quality, you should never settle for less. Remember that chef shoes are necessities and never luxuries; so, grab that pair of chef shoes that you love and always dream of. This can reduce body fatigue and other work-related stresses and most of all, can make you feel relieved inside and out."

Mozo Shoes are made specifically with those aims in mind. With a dual-density mid-sole, and our Triple Fit System designed to customize your fit, we are confident that our shoes are more comfortable than any others; and at the end of the day your feet, legs and back will feel better than other work shoes at the end of a long shift. We pride ourselves on ultimate slip-resistance as well-- And with all that, we also make our shoes to last. We know that you work hard, and your shoes should, too. That's why we're here, providing you with Shoes that Serve.
