Extreme Veteran 763   |  Subject: I think I have found the perfect Running Socks.I have always used Thorlo running socks and have been happy with them. A few weeks ago I forgot to pack my thorlos so I used regular cotton socks and my feet felt better. I have tried a few thinner running socks like under armour and reebok and liked them better than the Thorlos, but the seems are more noticeable. I found a pair of socks at Fleetfeet that use a seemless technology so I tried them out. They are made by a South African company called Belega Sport. I am hooked on these socks. Anyone else using them? They offer some very specific fits for supinators and pronators. chevy57 |

Cycling Guru 15134  Fulton, MD | Subject: RE: I think I have found the perfect Running Socks. I'm a big fan of the sock company that Gu uses, which is DeFeet. They are thick enough to avoid blisters but still not too hot. I don't have any experience with the ones you've mentioned. |

Master 2468 Muskego, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: I think I have found the perfect Running Socks. After reading some articles on this site i've just started using Injinjii toe socks and all of my blisters are going away. I found it amazing how much money i've spent searching for the "perfect" sock. Glad you found yours and thanks for the info. I ran by a fleet feet yesterday near downtown Annapolis. Looking forward to checking out the store and their goods. |

| Master 1790 | Subject: RE: I think I have found the perfect Running Socks. I also love the Balega socks. I have only once gotten a blister from running, and that was from cycling socks. Edited by Offthegrid 2008-09-05 11:26 AM |

| Master 1662 Flagstaff and Phoenix, AZ | Subject: RE: I think I have found the perfect Running Socks. Balega! I have several pairs and always wear those on my longer runs. They've held up very well in the wash, haven't lost their shape which means there is less flabby material to bunch up. I highly recommend them! |

| Master 1993 Riverside, IL | Subject: RE: I think I have found the perfect Running Socks. I must be in the minority here, because I have a pair of Balega socks and the few times I have worn them on runs, my toes went numb. When I switched back to my old standby Thorlo's...no toe numbness. I think it may be the thinness of the Balega sock that doesn't agree with my feet. I use the thickest Thorlo sock on the market...the #3 running crew. I've tried countless other brands of socks, including the Injinji toe socks, Smartwool Phd's, Wigwam Ironman, and Balega...and I always end up going back to the Thorlo's. I guess my feet like the thicker cushioning of the Thorlo socks. |

I have socks that I like for running and some that I don't, so I wear them for trainer rides, or whatever. I'm not partial to a particular brand. In general, I prefer the thin, stretchy tech-material kinds, not more fluffy kinds, esp. when it's hot out. For cooler/cold weather running, I love Smartwool socks. |

| Expert 1706 NoVA | Subject: RE: I think I have found the perfect Running Socks. Balega's rock!! When I went to my running store for the first time to get a pair of running shoes the first thing they did was put me in pair of those socks AND only then did I get to run/video'd on the treadmill, etc to find the right shoe----needless to say I couldn't leave with just my new shoes---I NEEDED the Balegas----nice soft/bottom and super thin breathing/wicking tops make my feet VERY happy!!! The sales lady even said she has to send a few pairs a month to friends in other states because they can't get them but want them.... |
