The story of ARMED began in 2007 in a small military surplus store in the Czech town of Žatec. A few shelves, plenty of enthusiasm, and a clear vision of where we wanted to go. Since then, we have grown into one of the largest military and outdoor retailers in the Czech Republic, with stores located in Prague, Brno, Vyškov, Tábor, Pardubice, and Plzeň.
We operate a modern e-commerce platform and place a strong emphasis on technology, efficiency, and customer service. ARMED also serves as a wholesale distributor for several well-known brands in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Our equipment is trusted by members of the Czech armed and security forces, a responsibility that motivates us to maintain the highest standards in both products and service.
Our product range includes military and outdoor gear, tactical apparel, knives, firearms, ammunition, and a wide variety of professional equipment. We also provide firearms servicing and AR-15 rifle customization through our experienced gunsmithing team.
Since 2020, we have been serving customers in English, and since 2022 in French as well. Today, we ship products to customers throughout Europe.

As a rule of thumb, outdoor socks usually feature reinforcement on the parts of your feet that are most exposed during strenuous movement. Some also offer cushioning in the footbed to help decrease the impact of stepping on uneven terrain.
Another important feature is the material that is used. Nowadays, socks with Coolmax functional fiber that effectively helps wick away sweat have become very popular. Socks made of Merino wool that prevents the growth of bacteria have also surged in popularity. Functional socks can be worn odour-free for much longer than regular socks and they help those who struggle with their feet getting sweaty. Similarly, socks with added copper solution aim to provide a likewise function.
