I haven't tried this particular brand though. I think Smartsox (sp?) was the one I tried previously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-runners--socks#post-1281876 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 02:29:59 +0000 Sarah A 1281876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love ininji's</p> <p><a href="http://www.injinji.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.injinji.com/</a><br />super awesome for my wide feet becuase they dont mash my toes together</p> <p>I also like defeet brand cycling socks for running.<br />for long runs Ill put the ininji's under the defeet for extra blister protection</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-runners--socks#post-1281659 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 00:11:50 +0000 Zibbets 1281659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Janet's Balega suggestion.

Turns out I need to wear motion control shoes for a while to help with knee pain and I am trying to find the best solution for our humid summers. Good thing sneakers are trending again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-runners--socks#post-1280904 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 04:51:50 +0000 danskogirl 1280904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Feetures. They come in several different thicknesses. For summer/least cushioning, I like their <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.feeturesbrand.com/index.php/ultra-light">ultra light socks</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-runners--socks#post-1280901 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 04:48:13 +0000 kellygirl 1280901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have good luck with Under Armour socks. I pick them up when I see them at TJMaxx. They sell them in 3 packs usually. I don't like thick socks so you might give them a try. (Couldn't find a link.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-runners--socks#post-1280891 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 04:38:24 +0000 Day Vies 1280891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a brand but I got several pairs of moisture wicking ankle socks from The Sports Authority when I was training for a half marathon. They were PERFECT because they didn't cause blisters like cotton socks. The material kept my feet dry. They also provided light cushioning and light arch support because of the elasticity. My only complaint was when they got worn they wouldn't stay on. I suppose the elasticity was compromised with the constant washing and drying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-runners--socks#post-1280887 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 04:29:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1280887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Runcarla--love my Thorlo low-cut socks.

They are thickish, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-runners--socks#post-1280863 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 03:56:21 +0000 Carla 1280863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, elphgal. I go for thick year round and wear Thorlo below the ankle socks. I have one pair of shoes that I wear sans socks, but those are my tri racing shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-runners--socks#post-1280834 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 03:25:00 +0000 elpgal 1280834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab runners, can you recommend your summer weight socks. I find most running socks too cushioned (which makes my shoes fit funny) or too tight on my wide, high volume foot. </p>
