I am in desperate need of a good pair of running socks. I bought some socks about 4 months ago and I hate them! I went to Modell's because the Sports Authority at the mall near my house had gone out of business. Modell's has to be the worst sports store out there! Well, at least the one near me. If any store should hae gone out of business, it should have been Modell's. So, I walked into the store and there was no A/C. They had fans positioned throughout the store. This was in mid-August and it was hot! The store was unorganized and dirty. Customer service was non-existent. But I was desperate. There wasn't another store that was close by that I could go to. I could have went to Dick's Sporting Goods but it's 30 minutes away and I would be stuck in evening rush hour traffic. After 10 minutes of walking around the hot, dirty store I finally find the running socks. The selection was small and limited. The only brand they carried was Under Armour. I grabbed a pair and go to the counter to pay them. Fast forward to the next day and I'm trying out my new running socks. And they completely suck! They are too thin, it feels like the material is rubbing against my skin. And it feels like my feet are moving around in my shoe. It makes running uncomfortable. I'm already not looking forward to getting on the treadmill. Knowing that I'm going to have blisters on my feet by the time I'm done doesn't help the situation.
I actually prefer not wearing socks when I workout. But I hear that's not a good thing to do. I hate it when my feet are hot and sweaty. It's more uncomfortable than wearing running shoes without socks. I've been searching Nike's website to get an idea of what kind of running sock I want to invest in. I'm also going to check out running sites. I have a friend who's an avid runner so I'm going to pick her brain about what kind of socks she wears. Hopefully I can come up with something. My feet are in desperate need of good running socks.
