Here's a race report from Matt Jenkins, who I saw running the Rocket City Marathon in Smithwick socks. Turns out he's also a Maniac.
I loaded that up and thought, no way that is a picture of a maniac ;-)
Thanks for the report.

What I need is a permanent supply of low-quarter real running socks with either a 2-3 mm carbon rubber outsole or a vibram (a la five fingers) outsole. Just regular colors like camo, black, desert tan, ... OK, just the socks in any color would do!
Oh yes, and a pair of very minimal black shoes suitable for work. Fake shoelaces would be okay.

Yeah, don't try this at home kids.
SwiftWick sends me the socks for free.
