From camping and outdoor activities, to lounging inside by the fire, socks are the secret to keeping your feet comfortable! At Abbadabba’s we carry Smartwool, Fits, Darn Tough, Blue Q, and Sockwell brands as they boast a variety of options built to keep your feet warm in the winter, yet cool and dry in the summer!
One of our favorite brands, Sockwell, is a great choice as they provide both compression and diabetic socks. Sockwell’s moderate compression options are recommended for all day wear including prolonged sitting/standing or traveling! The diabetic socks provide circulation-friendly support with a low compression leg and non-binding top create maximum blood flow; and because they are made with wool, they are the solution for chilly climates or feet that tend to stay cold. They are also constructed with Y-heel that contours exactly to the foot and helps reduce the incidence of sock slippage in the shoe! Sock brands like Smartwool, Fits, and Sockwell make it easy to stay comfortable all day long. These deliver the perfect combination for everyday wear or any time you walk the trails. The Wool blend holds onto warmth while remaining breathable and offers natural odor resistance! Wool’s natural structure helps keep your feet at a consistent temperature, which is important when it comes to socks. You can choose lighter socks for warmer temperatures, and thicker fabrics for during the winter months - at Abbadabba’s we have both! Either way, as your wool socks fend off the moisture away from your feet, they’ll also work to keep you from getting too warm or too cold! Don’t be fooled by the thought that you can only wear wool in winter, or that wool is only for the outdoors! Wool’s wicking capabilities and temperature regulation comes in handy for any activity. The beauty of wool socks is in its versatility and at Abbadabba’s we pride ourselves in carrying a diverse group of products! Stop by any of our 3 locations in Little Five Points, Buckhead, and East Cobb to find your new favorite pair of socks today!

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR RED WING EVENT Have you ever had an amazing pair of shoes but there was just a little something missing? We think insoles might be just what you are looking for. A solid set of insoles can make a huge difference to your foot health and the comfort of your shoes! If you buy the right pair you are able to get rid of foot and lower body pain, provide protection against injury, and even help your performance in sports and other activities. However, insoles eventually become old and worn out, and that is when they are no longer going to do you any good. So, how do you know when to replace your insoles?
With normal use, a pair of high-quality, store-bought insoles should last between six and nine months. If you are putting more than the average wear and tear on your shoes, then they should last three to six months before they need to be replaced. There are many factors that will shorten or lengthen how long insoles will last you. We’ve placed our top three below! Insole Quality A good-quality, well-made insole will last longer than a cheap one. If you want your insoles to be effective and last for a good amount of time, you need to view them as an investment and be willing to spend a bit more for a better pair. When looking for insoles you want to look for ones that have a stable sturdy base with contoured footbed, this allow for the foot to be properly aligned. Insole Quality An insole with a foam, gel or fabric upper, tends to last longer than those with wool, cotton or terry fabric material. Insoles that are made with foam and gel breakdown quicker and do not give the foot support that it needs to align the body for all day comfort. Insoles made with these materials do add cushion and comfort to shoes, but should be used more for taking up space or for dress shoes to only be worn for a few hours. Style and Material If you use your insoles all day, every day, they will wear out more quickly than if you were to wear them just a couple times a week. In addition, certain activities are harder on insoles than others. If you are constantly participating in high-impact sports, such as football or running, keep in mind that your insoles will need to be replaced more often due to the extra impact on the insole. If you are searching for a new pair of durable insoles – whether for support during sports, everyday comfort, or to help with a foot problem, we encourage you to come check out our large selection of high-quality insoles at any of our 3 Abbadabba’s locations in East Cobb, Buckhead, and Little Five Points! Working in an office environment can make for a challenging shoe situation. You never know where your day will take you, but a shoe stylish and comfortable enough to take you from day to night is a must-have!
Our first suggestion of a great office brand is Vionic! If you are looking for the perfect flat to slip into with slacks and a blouse, then the Vionic Carroll is the right shoe for you. For a polished everyday flat, this Vionic ballet slip-on sure has a lot of comfort and design features- like a removable footbed and a detailed design. For a dressier work option, the Vionic Nareen is a slingback pump with a gently squared-off toe and covered block heel. Even though it is a heel, the contoured footbed aligns the foot and body for all day wear! Pair the Nareen with a dress and blazer and your sophisticated look is complete. If your office job has you running from the office to appointments all day, comfort is what you will be desiring on that day. We suggest looking into the brand Naot, which has multiple options that will keep your feet happy no matter where your day takes you. The Aliso shoe by Naot has a tricolor upper adding distinctive style, and a classic lace-up design made with everyday comfort in mind. Naot makes sure to use their cork latex contoured footbed in most all their styles, so your feet will always be happy. Casual office Fridays call for a cute pair of shoes! The Kork-Ease Hopi features a sculpted heel, and beautiful peep-toe, which instantly sets it apart from the shoes everyone else is wearing. Not only are these stylish, but they also provide all-day comfort. Wear these buckled heels with a pair of jeans and dressy top for an ultra-chic office look.

We know it can be difficult finding shoes to work for all walks of life, so we picked out some of our favorite brands perfect for exploring the city we love to call home.
Hit The Streets In Blundstone and On Running Blundstone has been making boots since the 1870s. With a focus on creating shoes to keep you safe and comfortable through tough conditions, they also have great versatility for exploring the city!

Try these out and take a hike on the Johnson Ferry Trail, running along the Chattahoochee River! Dress Up In Kork-Ease Kork-Ease has become an instant classic, providing a constant source of style and comfort. In our minds, they are a must-have in the wardrobe of the stylish everyday woman! Try out the adorable Ava wedges with your favorite sundress and see a concert at Chastain Park Amphitheater, which is near our Buckhead location! You’ll stay both cute and comfortable all night long. Explore The City In Dr. Martens Recognized as one of the most iconic footwear brands, Dr. Martens established its reputation creating robust, practical boots with comfort and durability in mind! Dr. Martens can be styled in a multitude of ways and is the perfect brand for adding an edge to any look. Step into the 1480 Boot style that is recognized for its uncompromising utilitarian looks and durability, and check out the beautiful art around the neighborhood by our store in Little Five Points! Or, if you are looking for a fun and vibrant dinner spot, style your Dr. Marten boots with ripped jeans and a tee and head to L5P and visit the LadyBird Grove and Mess Hall! It is incredibly important to make sure you have shoes comfortable enough to enjoy the city in! There is so much to see and do here in ATL and we are proud to have 3 locations in different parts of the city! We have so many styles and brands at all three of our Abbadabba’s stores and we are sure we can help you find the perfect fit that combines both comfort and style! Dr. Martens offer a distinct look easily recognized by all. With their rugged edge style and unique takes on boots and sandals, one might think ‘Docs’ (as many have coined them), only fit a certain look. But with a variety of styles, incredible quality and unmatched comfort, we beg to differ. For more than 30 years, Abbadabba’s has carried Dr. Martens and we continue to be one of the only locations in Atlanta with such a wide array of their styles. We rounded up our favorite ways to show off your Docs below!
The Classic Look Tights and Docs are a classic combination. Plain black tights effortlessly balance out the classic look of the 1460’s and expand the range of possible outfit options you can wear with these shoes. Pair your tights-and-Docs combo with high-waisted cutoff shorts and a plain tee for a trendy finish that still looks put-together! You can also go for a different, dressier date night look by throwing on a sundress. A Bold Twist Looking for a fun new pair of shoes to wear around campus? Try embracing the classic, bold, and edgy style of Doc Martens with the fresh floral look of the Pascal 8-Eye Rose Skull Boots. Skulls not your style? Then create some flash in a pair of Glitter Boots. Patterns and prints on shoes are a fun way to spice up any outfit, and adding both of these options to your closet will add a bold touch to any ensemble. Add Some Edge Distressed jeans are a must for creating edgy looks with your Docs and are perfect for lounging in the dorm room to hitting the streets. The texture of ripped jeans adds depth to your outfit that balances out the heaviness of your boots. If you want to add a more grungy vibe to your look, pair dark jeans with a loose tee and a denim jacket on top! Or go for a classier, more sophisticated finish with your boots and pair them with high-waisted black jeans, a blouse, and a leather jacket. These tips are just some of our favorite ways to style Dr.Martens! The options are endless, which is why this brand stands out from the rest. Shop our entire Doc’s collection by coming into any of our 3 locations in Little Five Points, Buckhead or East Cobb! Sandals are a closet necessity for all and the quintessential footwear of summer.
