Treat Your Feet with Sport Specific Socks for Running

After investing in a brand new pair of running shoes, why not take the next step and invest in a brand new pair of socks for running. I, personally, treat myself to a pair of the best running socks every time I have an event to run. Training for and participating in an event is my excuse to shop for new running gear. Although I do try out any new running gear on a training run before the actual race day.

Why You Need Socks for Running

When you jog, your feet will give off any amount of heat and moisture which, in turn, can cause your feet to chafe and blister – a runner’s nightmare. Technologies in fabric are so advanced now that it is easy to find socks for running that will help prevent blisters and chafing. Most performance socks for running are similar to other athletic apparel and now use CoolMax® or Dri-FIT® to wick moisture away from the feet and also prevent "hot spots", leaving your feet cool and dry – a runner’s dream. On top of that CoolMax® is washable, dryable, non-chafing and it also resists shrinkage, odors and mildew.

My personal favorite socks for running are the Wright Running Sock. These socks give you a double shot of CoolMax®. The construction of lightweight CoolMax does not compromise the fit of the shoe while still allowing two layers of material to absorb the friction, while one layer stays with your foot and the other stays with the running shoe and the slight movement happens between the layers. The Wright Running Sock is highly recommended as a great sock for running marathons for triathlons as these events demand a sock to help prevent blistering under extreme situations!

These days, with the many choices of high tech socks for running we have to choose from, don’t be caught in that old pair of cotton tube socks you have laying around in the bottom of your drawer. It is a small price to pay for comfortable, healthy feet.
