Today I lifted weights in the morning and went for a nine mile run in the afternoon. My right foot has been bothering my, but today, I tied my shoes extra tight. My foot was cradled and the pain was gone, well almost… So from now on I will tie my shoes much tighter. Along with the proper fit, and inserts, socks are also important.
When I went up to Wisconsin to do The North Face Challenge, I was fortunate enough to find the love of my life.
I was at Laacke & Joys in Bloomfield. I ran into a display of socks. Not just any old socks, but Smartwool. I decided to buy a pair. Everyone looks at socks differently.
Some don’t care what they are wearing, thick, thin, or wicking. Socks can make or break a run or a ride. They can even brighten a day at the office.
Smartwool sock are hands down the best socks that I have ever had. They provide great cushioning, wicking and blister control.
When I got back from Wisconsin, I did a little more research and found that you can buy these socks at a lot of different places, including “Dicks.” These are a little pricey for a pair of socks, but cheep in the overall scheme of things. What else can you buy for 16 bucks? a couple of tubes for you bike, a half a box of powerbars, a pair of running gloves?
For 16 bucks you can feel in control of you life, with a pair of Smartwool socks. They come in a variety of styles including casual, hiking, running etc…
So if you can ask Santa for one thing for Christmas, tell him you want Smartwool.
Did they pay you to write that? I feel compelled to buy a pair .
I like my Smartwool socks but in temps above 45 or so I quit wearing them because they made my feet too hot.
I’ll tell ya dude. I have some Under Armour socks that I love. I got them at T.J. Maxx for cheap. They are almost 100% poly and I have never had an issue whilst wearning them. I have 8 pair that I rotate. Plus, they’re black, which fits my style!
