Tenderfoot Socks Incorporated

Bernadine Solwey is the visionary behind the Tenderfoot Sock.  After searching for a sock that would work for her “tender” feet, she quickly discovered that something better needed to be on the market.  Bernie designed and later patented her own sock design, located a US manufacturer to make the socks and went into business in 2002.  Bernie is thefirst to admit that starting a business of this nature takes a lot of vision and perseverance; however the socks are increasing in popularity among sports enthusiasts, construction workers and diabetics.  Visit the Tenderfoot Socks website at www.tenderfootsocks.com
