Waipahu Little League Wins Again!

All of us here at the Phiten Hawaii branch have been watching the Little League World Series with pride, and for good reason: our very own Waipio Little League team keeps on winning!

Phiten Hawaii has been a very proud supporter of the Waipio Little League team since 2006, and watched with all of Hawaii as they went on to win the Little League World Series in 2008. Now the same club is back, with some new bright faces, in 2010, and we are all hoping for similar success.

Go Hawaii!

Product Review: Phiten Socks

One of Phiten’s popular items are our various types of socks. Many people who use Phiten in their lives are huge fans of the socks, and quite a few have converted their entire sock drawer to Phiten socks!

Some of our customers use our knee-high socks to help aid in circulation while traveling, and especially for long flights. Many people have let us know about how our socks helped to reduce the swelling in their feet and ankles that is caused by the elevation changes and lack of blood flow to the legs and feet during air travel. They were able to get off their plane and start their vacation on the right foot!

Other customers have let us know how much they enjoy using Phiten socks for work, especially when they have to be on their feet all day. Many people have aches and pains in the feet at the end of the day, and some of this is caused by a lack of circulation and blood flow since the feet are the furthest away from the heart. Phiten users have noticed a big difference in the lack of cramping and pain towards the end of the day, and because of this they are able to get through the work week easier.

Here is what some Phiten users had to say about our socks:

“I love using Phiten socks and tapes together whenever I go out, especially when I travel long distance, such as a flight to Las Vegas. It helps me to be able to walk longer when I use the Phiten socks.” – Fumiko K.

“I’ve been enjoying the Phiten socks. I wear them for golf and traveling. It works both on the course and in the air. My feet no longer get sore and I feel it gives me great circulation.” – Michael A.

“I first used the socks for sports, and noticed a difference the first day. Usually my feet would cramp or get sore after an hour or two, but with the socks I can play for hours pain-free!” – Richard M.

Unique Creations at Phiten Torrance Shop part 3

This is the 3rd post of the “Unique Creations at Phiten Torrance Shop” series.

This is an image of the original Tornado.

Navy and Black Tornado

We were able to figure out a way to make a Tornado using THREE necklaces!  Now you can combine 3 of your favorite colors in a brand new style.

Triple Tornado

To make a Triple tornado, just follow these steps!
1) Follow the instructional blog located Here
2) After completing one Tornado, basically repeat the same steps with the Tornado as the main necklace and the single necklace as the naked one.
Note: the 3rd necklace strand should fit inside the original Tornado.

It’s that simple.  Please note that this necklace is custom made and may not be available to order through our online store.  If you choose to make this yourself, please do so at your own discretion.  If you feel uncomfortable making it yourself, please stop by our shop and we will gladly make it for you.

There is also another way of combining 3 necklaces.  The other way is to Braid the 3 necklaces together.  This is what we call a Triple Braid

Triple Braid

To actually make this is actually simple.  If you can braid hair, you can braid your necklace!  Just follow these steps.

1) Get 3 necklaces.  Make one your main necklace, and carefully remove the clasps and the rubber stoppers from the other 2 necklaces to make 2 naked necklaces.
2) Connect the ends of the 2 naked necklaces to make one big loop.  The loop should simply look like one big letter “O”.  To do this, just sew the 2 ends together with a needle and durable sewing string.  Sew in a circle following the edge of the necklaces.  Be sure to do enough so that the necklaces wont come apart when you slightly pull on them.
3) Now get the main necklace, and put it in between the big loop.  The loop should be just under the main necklace’s rubber stopper.  By doing this, you now have 3 strands.  All you have to do now is braid the 3 necklaces like you are braiding hair.  Before you start, be sure to hide the stitching of the big loop by slightly putting it on the side and not in the center.
4) If done correctly, the end of the necklace should fit in the very last loop you make.  The 2 stitched ends should be hidden under the braid.  And wallah!  You have just finished making your own Triple Braid.

With a little imagination, it is possible to create your own design.  If you have any creative ideas or have made your own creation, please feel free to contact us at torranceshop@phitenusa.com!
