Socks have it tough.\u00a0 When they work well, there’s not much to say about ’em.\u00a0 When they don’t?\u00a0 Well, you can bet there’ll be a LOT of gripin’ going on.\u00a0 Fortunately I’ve been experiencing the former with my WRIGHTSOCKS, but that means this post will be brief.<\/p>\n
Last Thursday I tested the SLXs on a 20-mile long run.\u00a0 While I normally lube up the ol’ feet with Body Glide, I decided to forego it in order to truly test the WRIGHTSOCK mettle.\u00a0 Thank goodness I had absolutely no issues — no blisters, not even any hot spots.\u00a0 Like a few of the other pairs, these socks “hug” your arches, which I really like.\u00a0 They’re medium weight, which are good for both warm and cool climates.<\/p>\n
Next up were the SLRs.\u00a0 Frankly, I didn’t see much of a difference between them and the SLXs, other than they’re all white whereas the SLXs are grey and white with a red stripe.\u00a0 The SLRs are touted as having more cushion, but I didn’t really notice.\u00a0 I wore these for my half marathon run on Saturday and really liked them.\u00a0 Again, I’d wear them year-round.<\/p>\n
For my 7-mile trail run on Sunday I tried out the Running IIs.\u00a0 Whereas the SLRs and SLXs are single-layered, the Running IIs are double-layered.\u00a0 By the time I hit the trail the temp was in the 70s and my feet did get pretty hot and sweaty.\u00a0 However, that was due more to the trail running shoes I was testing, which are coated in Goretex.\u00a0 Once I switched to my regular, breathable trail shoes my feet were quite comfortable.\u00a0 That said, I probably will save these for cooler weather.<\/p>\n
So there\u00a0 you have it — another successful test.\u00a0 I have one more pair to try, then I’ll be wearing each pair several more times.\u00a0 My tootsies are lovin’ it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
