    Smartwool Adrenaline

    Wright Socks double layer mesh

    Balegas Enduro.

     

    I've read good things about all three socks and want to try a pair to prevent blisters.  Any thoughts or have a favorite of the three. 

      2011 Goals:
      Sub 19 5K (19:24 5K July 14th 2010)
      Marathon under 3:05:59 BQ (3:11:10 Indy 2010)


    The King of Beasts

      Smartwool Phd. Running.

        Balega lo-riders (probably not the name). I used to get blisters. I bought these. I have not had a blister since. Hope this helps.

          I don't know about the enduro specifically, but I will say that I switched to Balegas about 3 years ago and unless they go out of business, I will never buy another brand of sock.  I love them.  They fit great, they last a long time (I'm still using a couple of pairs I bought in 2006) and they cause me no issues.  That's what I want out of a sock... do the job and don't get in my way.

              Of the three, I have only tried Smartwool (Phd).  They are so nice, I don't see a reason to try anything else.

                Socks are funny like that.  I feel the same way about my favorite sock, Wrightsock SLT -- the single layer ultrathin one.  They're my only running sock, year round.  If they stop making them I will be pissed, and I might be the only person in the world who buys them so I'm stocking up.

                  I don't have a specific brand.  I feel so lonely.....  I don't own any of those listed so far.

                    Thorlos are popular with the athletes in our household.

                      I like the Smartwools.

                        I like Smartwool and Drymax.

                          DS wears whatever pair he pulls out of the drawer.  Usually "non-running" socks.  It must be nice to be 17.
