Let's Talk About Socks, Bay-Bee!

I have recently come to the realization that getting good socks can make or break a relationship. Personally I've always been a no-frills cotton kind-of-girl. But then the sales staff at my local Lady Foot Locker talked me into my first pair of CoolMax socks! There is no going back to the old way now.

Honestly, I thought I was being sold up. I had no idea that the hype on performance athletic wear was real. My feet are super soft so I am always getting blisters. I thought that I just had to deal with it. Along came the socks and I have not had one blister since. These socks are made out of a blend of cotton, Lycra, nylon, polyester and the trademarked CoolMax fibers. The CoolMax fibers work in a way that wicks the sweat away from your skin and does not create hot spots.

These awesome socks are sold in three different styles. My personal favorites are the ankle socks. After a quick Internet search I found that you can buy lots of different socks with CoolMax in them. This particular Lady Foot Locker branded package were modestly priced at 3 pairs for $10.

Now that I have socks that are rocking my world I can't imagine what it will be like when I buy a proper watch and real running clothes. I'll keep you up to date as I test things out.
