Every golfer, fitness enthusiast, or just a regular Joe who likes to keep active knows the importance of having the right gear. From the shoes we wear to the socks that cushion our feet, every detail matters. Today, I’m going to take a deep dive into a game-enhancing product from Stance: Performance Tabs.
These are not just any socks. They are designed for the long haul, boasting a host of features that set them apart from the competition. Let’s explore why these Performance Tabs are a must-have for on or off the golf course.
Designed for Durability and Comfort
The standout feature of the Performance Tabs is their robust construction. They come ready with an antimicrobial FreshTek™ moisture control system, meaning they can handle your intense rounds or workouts, and keep your feet feeling fresh and dry.
An amazing feature that makes these socks truly remarkable is their reinforced Infiknit™ construction. This is not your regular sock material. Known for its high tensile strength and excellent abrasion resistance, Infiknit™ adds serious muscle to both the heel and toes, guaranteeing a longer, stronger lifespan than your typical sock’s construction.
Personalize Your Comfort
Available in multiple knit and cushioning options, these socks cater to your personal comfort preferences. Whether you prefer the ultra-light, no-cushion for a lightweight next-to-skin feeling, or the mid-level with ample soft Terry cushioning at the heel and footbed, your feet will love the custom feeling that these socks provide.
Performance-Enhancing Features
The Performance Tabs are not just about comfort and durability. They are designed to enhance your performance too. They boast a specialized left/right anatomical design (see photo above) to fight off strain and fatigue, and come with a performance arch support that your feet will appreciate during those long rounds.
These socks also feature a reflective logo hit at the heel for extra safety, ensuring you can run, jog, or walk at any time of the day with increased visibility.
Breathability and Odor Control
One of the most common complaints about regular socks is their lack of breathability and odor control. Performance Tabs have tackled this issue head-on with their FreshTek™ Moisture & Odor Control system. This feature incorporates an antimicrobial finish with moisture-wicking properties to eliminate odor-causing bacteria, keeping your feet feeling fresh and dry.
The socks also incorporate Performance Mesh for optimized ventilation and breathability. This feature ensures that your feet stay cool during intense workouts, and reduces the risk of blisters and discomfort.
On the Course, the Mountain, or at the Office
I wear my Tab’s every day whether I’m on the golf course, mountain biking, hiking, or writing amazing blog posts in the office. I love the comfort and performance, and especially the support the socks provide. I can tell they’re helping keep my feet from fatiguing. I also dig all the colors. My favorite is the gray, but black is always a go-to as well.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Performance Tabs are more than just socks. They are a symbol of innovative design, high-quality construction, and unparalleled comfort and performance. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a seasoned athlete, trust in the Tab to have you looking good and feeling great as you better your best in style.
Great Gift
Christmas (and the holiday season for you PC folks) is coming up soon. Stance Performance socks would make a fantastic, unique, and extremely beneficial gift!
Socks are a super-important component of the golf apparel ensemble that don’t get discussed enough! I’m here to change that. We walk a ton and are on our feet in golf so having great performance socks is imperative.
That in mind, I’m happy to mention that I have some new Stance Performance Tab Socks in for review.
Feel360
One of the standout features of Stance Performance Tabs is the incorporation of Feel360™ technology, a revolutionary advancement in odor and moisture management. Say goodbye to discomfort caused by sweat and odor, as these socks are engineered to keep you feeling fresh and dry even during the most rigorous activities.
Rugged InfiKnit™-Reinforced Heel and Toe
Stance understands that durability is paramount for active individuals, and that’s why their Performance Tabs come equipped with a robust InfiKnit™-reinforced heel and toe. This design not only enhances the sock’s longevity but also provides added support where you need it the most. Rest assured, these socks are built to withstand the test of time, no matter how demanding your lifestyle may be.
A Guarantee of Quality
Stance takes pride in the quality of their products, and the Performance Tabs are no exception. With a commitment to excellence, these socks are backed by a guarantee of lasting performance. You can confidently step into your adventures, knowing that your Stance Performance Tabs are ready to stand up to whatever challenges you face.
Full Review Soon
I’ve already been gaming them on the course, on the mountain, and on the town. After I’ve had enough laps and time to fully evaluate their performance and durability I’ll post my full review.
Stay tuned.
In for review are some new golf socks from the company “Feetures.”
Feetures socks “feature” targeted compression in specific zones for proper support, performance and comfort during sports activities, like golf.
Each sock, meaning right versus left, is anatomically designed to the structure of the foot. This provides enhanced performance and fit, and reduces risk of blisters.
The toe on Feetures socks is seamless. Seams on the toes can be super annoying and can cause discomfort and blisters.
Features socks have a lifetime guarantee. If at some point the wearer becomes unsatisfied with a pair of socks, Feetures will replace them.
I’m looking forward to running these socks through a full review. Stay tuned.
I’ve said it many times over many years: Kentwool is the best golf sock on the planet. Period. I had to do some digging to find my first Kentwool golf blog post. As far as I can tell, it was this Kentwool review back on August 23rd, 2011. Roughly seven years ago. Yeah I have sock reviews older than most golf blogs. Some of the socks in my drawer are that old because Kentwool socks refuse to die. Then again, I probably have underwear twice that old. Call the hazmat team.
I’ve been due to freshen up the sock drawer because some of my very old KW’s are starting to thin out. They’re still very useable and have not lost their stretch, but not as padded after being washed 100’s of times. Keep in mind we are talking about socks that have walked literally thousands of miles and are up to SEVEN years old.
I’ve restocked a few new pairs, as seen in the photo above. I still need to get a bunch more blacks and whites, which are my daily gamers.
The red ones are for my favorite college team, the Utah Utes!
I also wear Kentwool dress socks too, called the 19th Hole. They’re super comfortable and most importantly for me, not too hot.
In fact, I should mention for those who haven’t tried Kentwools. Though they’re wool, they are not itchy and they are not too hot, even in the summer.

Here’s my first review for calendar year 2016, the CEP Compression Sock line.
CEP Compression is a sports brand of medi GmbH & Co. KG headquartered in Bayreuth, Germany. CEP’s products include various apparel items for a wide variety of sports like running, biking, soccer, triathlon, basketball, and of course golf.
Why Compression Socks?
If you’ve never tried compression socks you are missing out on some great performance enhancement as well as a great feel. The compression of these socks helps reduce muscle and bone fatigue, increases performance recovery, helps blood circulation and helps speed up lactate metabolism. Golfers need every edge they can get so why not take advantage of these properties?
Feel
I sport compression socks like the CEP socks quite often, even when I’m not on the course or doing anything athletic. The comfort and feel of compression socks is very hard to describe. I can feel a big difference during wear, and especially at the end of the day.
Models
I’ve been using two different sock models, the Dynamic+ no-show, and the Dynamic+ short socks. The no-show are basically ankle socks and the no-show (first photo above) are about halfway up the calf. The no-shows run around $18 and the short version runs around $22. There are numerous other models depending on the sport/application, and for men or women.
Conclusion
I can’t claim that these socks have shaved any strokes off of my golf game, yet. It’s winter and I haven’t played in a couple of months now. From past experience using other compression socks I can say I’m looking forward to the refreshed feel and lack of fatigue when I finally do get back on the course.
CEP’s are well made and very comfortable.
