age is really just a number

So, you just got a new pair of running shoes to replace your old worn-out kicks. What about your socks? Have you taken a look at your sock drawer and seen how woeful they look? Socks matter!

Running Socks are almost as important as your running shoes in keeping your training on track! Blisters suck! Cheap worn socks cause your foot to slip around causing friction, heat and nasty blisters. 

Running socks are different than your everyday socks and you shouldn’t skimp on them. A few pairs of expensive socks can save your runs. Double layer wicking socks not only absorb friction, but also distribute heat and wick away the moisture from sweating. This is even more important in Texas. Put these three things together in a pair of socks and blisters are dramatically reduced. It even cuts down on the occurrence of athlete’s foot fungus by keeping your feet dry! A bonus effect!

My favorite socks are the Wright socks. Nice play on words, but these socks are the bomb! They’re well worth the price and they hold up very nicely over time. I like to replace them about once a year. I personally like the running II socks which are a lightweight double thickness ankle sock with light padding. They have a blister-free money-back guarantee as well as being durable and cushioned! A win:win in my book.

Socks matter, so go have a sock drawer purge and replenish! Your feet will thank me!
