Drymax Socks Giveaway

“you can only go as far as your feet will take you”

I have a new sock love that I wanted to share with the blog world! I have been having sock issues for a while now. I have gotten blisters on the tops of my toes from bad socks and worn holes fast in socks that weren’t strong enough. I feel that good socks are very important to my running success!

Enter Drymax socks! The wonderful people at Drymax sent me a bunch of different socks to try out. I ran in a few different styles of the socks in the Philly Half Marathon, part of the NYC Marathon, on my 11 mile run, and on my 9 mile run – so I have put these socks to the ultimate running tests!

Drymax has socks for literally everything! There are running socks for hot weather, cold weather, trail running and mesh socks. There are walking socks, and hiking socks, work  socks, tennis, golf even dress socks! There are socks for EVERYTHING!

One of my favorite Drymax socks that I have tried (so far) is the Drymax Maximum Protection Running Socks. It was very well padded and kept my feet dry and blister free on my longer runs.

I love these socks. Seriously, they have saved my toes.

This is a great giveaway! Any runner can use socks! I'm still running in cotton most of the time, so I need to expand my sock collection.

I'd probably pick the Running Hyper Thin, since I love thin socks, or the Cold Weather Running sock, since this is my first winter running and I'm nervous about frozen toes!

I'm a follower! Thanks for hosting.

Junghwa said...

the maximum protections socks sound very good since i want much protection for my feet when i'm running.

even hyperthin v4 sounds good too. that would be perfect for YOGA since my room is super cold ><
