Philips Christaan Visser (1882-1955)

In plaats van het voor hem geijkte pad in het familiebedrijf te volgen besloot Philips Christiaan Visser alpinist te worden. Zijn internationale contacten in de bergsport brachten hem op het idee de nog niet geëxploreerde delen van het Karakoram-gebergte te ontdekken. Visser volgde, samen met zijn vrouw Jenny Hooft, zijn passie, verkocht het familiebedrijf en trok naar Midden-Azië. Visser leidde tussen 1922 en 1935 vier succesvolle expedities naar de Karakoram. Daar exploreerde hij als onderzoeker enorme bergmassieven, grote gletsjers en dalen die niet op de landkaarten stonden. Bovendien publiceerde hij het meest gevarieerde Nederlandse oeuvre op het gebied van bergsport en glaciologie. Met zijn publicaties, lezingen en expedities inspireerde hij veel jonge alpinisten. Als bestuurder was hij van beslissende betekenis voor de groei en positionering van de in 1902 opgerichte Nederlandsche Alpen-Vereeniging. Zo groeide Philips Christiaan Visser uit tot Nederlands laatste ontdekkingsreiziger en bekendste bergsporter in de periode voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Na zijn expedities bracht Vissers diplomatieke carrière hem in Brits-Indië, Turkije en Zuid-Afrika. In 1948 werd hij ambassadeur in Moskou. Maarten Faas tekent in deze biografie voor het eerst het volledige veelbewogen leven op van Visser als bergbeklimmer, expeditieleider, ontdekkingsreiziger, glacioloog, diplomaat en auteur. Maarten Faas (1957) is sociaal wetenschapper, auteur en fervent alpinist. Hij stelde onder meer de Nederlandse bergsportcanon op en schreef over alpinisme in de Hoogtelijn en De Bergvriend.

great concept, just one tiny annoyance...
Color: Black, Grey
i love that a sock that lets your toes be free is even a thing that exists. i love that this company was started by a young girl, now turned young businesswoman. i have pain in my big toes, so i can't wear close toed anything, but feet get stinky if you wear shoes/slippers all the time without socks. this is a great solution. the only thing i find slightly annoying (not enough to stop using these) is the seam on the bottom of your foot, near the base of the toes. it is a straight line, which is fine on the top of the foot, but i wish the bottom itself curved a bit, to follow the line of the toes. as it is, the seam lands right in the middle if the ball of my feet, so i can feel the seams everytime i take a step. i am constantly pulling the seam toward the toes, to try to keep from feeling it, but then my pinky toe gets caught and balled up on the inside. outside of that slight annoyance, they're comfortable and fit well.

Good fit
Color: Black and Gray Argyle
I wear a size 9 shoe and these fit well. They are a little snug, but not too tight.

A little expensive but really come in handy!
Color: Black, Grey
So far I am really happy with these socks. I broke my big toe and had to have my toenail removed and am wearing a post-op shoe/boot. I wanted to wear a sock underneath so that my foot wouldn't get too sweaty but my toe is still too tender for regular socks and cutting the toes off of regular socks doesn't work because they won't stay put. These work great- I actually pull them up over my little toes and just leave my first couple of toes exposed. I really like that you can wear these on either foot (unlike some open toed socks that have openings for the big toe and the rest of your toes so they are designated for left and right foot) since I'm only using them on my right foot.

Excellent idea, could be better executed
I love the idea, but my problem with this product is that the bottom of the socks are made too short. The socks tend to slouch up when you wear them for awhile, so the entire ball of your foot will be exposed at some point. I would like to find a pair that cover the ball of the foot as well. But the socks are well made and attractive.

Perfect Solution for Moisturizing Heels Without Full Socks
Color: Black, Grey
Excellent quality and incredibly soft! These toeless socks are perfect if you like to moisturize your heels but don’t want to wear full socks. They stay in place and keep the lotion where it needs to be—highly recommend
