Free Socks to Help Soldiers Feel Good this Holiday Season

Free Socks to Help Soldiers Feel Good this Holiday Season
American Troops in the field can only go as far as their feet can take them. That’s why durable, quality socks have always been one of the most important items in any soldier’s locker. This weekend, Alpine Shop, in cooperation with SmartWool and the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance, will participate in a program designed to get our troops at least one pair of the finest socks available to them. [caption id="attachment_553" align="alignleft" width="180" caption="Smartwool Hiking Medium Crew Sock- Winner of Backpacker Magazine Editors' Choice Award"][/caption] Now through Tuesday, December 21, as part of the Feels Good promotion, SmartWool will donate a pair of the brand’s Hiking Medium Crew Socks for every two pairs of any SmartWool socks sold at one of the three Alpine Shop locations or on-line at Alpineshop.com. Product will be distributed to soldiers in Southern Afghanistan in the Kandahar Province along the grueling mountains of the Pakistan border. Socks will go to numerous Forward Operating Bases where soldiers are performing at their limit day in and out. Upon returning to their bases for re-supply, etc, the soldiers will receive a new pair of Smartwool socks. Feels Good starts Friday, December 17th and will last until Alpine Shop sells its allotment of promotional socks from Smartwool. The goal of the promotion is to provide customers with an opportunity to participate in something that Feels Good for those who are far away from home this holiday season.
