Drymax Socks

Of all the running gear, I think socks are the most important. Our feet carry us such a far way and if they aren't happy, we aren't happy. I'm always on the look out for great running socks. I remember when I bought my first pair I could not believe how incredible they felt. Up until that point, I never would have believed there was a difference between this sock or that sock.


Well, I recently tested out Drymax socks and I was soooo pleased with them!! Drymax is advertised as being the #1 sock to keep your feet dry. As we all know, having dry feet is so important for a runner so we don't get blisters let alone a nasty fungus! Drymax socks "utilize two different fiber technologies interwoven to form inner and outer layers." With this technology, moisture doesn't stick to the inner layer of fibers because they are hydrophobic (doesn't like moisture). This dual layer sock acts as a moisture removal system which keeps feet nice and dry!! In addition to all this greatness, the socks have a flat toe seam, vented arch band and a "Y" heel which improves fit.

Drymax socks are not only doctor recommended as an aid in the cure and prevention of athlete's foot and fungal infections, they are guaranteed!! If you don't agree that they keep your feet drier and more comfortable, you can return your socks with a sales receipt for a full refund!!

I tested out the light mini crew and thought they were uber (I like that word) comfortable!! By the looks, I thought they might be too short and ride down below the heel of my shoe but they didn't budge during the run. These particular pair was not as cushy as some of my other pairs, but the fit still felt great.

A pair of socks goes for around $10.00, which is pretty standard for a good running sock. I know I'd definitely pay it. So with that being said, I'm giving Drymax 9 biscuits (the only reason they didn't get 10 is because they didn't beat my current favorite).
