New Socks

I told you I'd have a good story this time, and here it is: I got some mail.


This is how I get my mail

Certain things in life seem to be created solely to make life more pleasant. Among these are hot chocolate, good books, campfires and beautiful women. However, one of my absolute favorite parts of life are new socks. You know what I'm talking about - new socks make any day a good day, no matter what the circumstances. Lost your job? Throw on some new socks. Got dumped? New socks will fix it. Very little can upset someone wearing new socks, and so you can imagine my excitement when I realized Drymax had sent me a whole box full of woolen happiness.


These guys could use some new socks

Anyway, what was there to do but throw on a pair and go out for a run? This was an ideal test run day, since it freaking snowed last night and covered all my regular trails in just enough powder to melt by the time I got there and leave behind a hideous muddy mess. Throughout two hours and fifteen miles, my legs got completely trashed from all the dirt being tossed up. And the trails were covered in little puddles that didn't seem deep from afar but were usually sufficient to nearly submerge my feet each time. So basically I got dirty and soaked, which was actually a lot of fun. But the socks really held up to what they say they do. Each time my feet got wet I woud at first be able to feel the water through my shoes and socks, but within a few minutes my feet would be dry again. This drying happened so quickly and effortlessly that I hardly noticed my feet were so dry and comfortable. I'm not really sure how they do it, but Drymax socks have so far turned out to be awesome. Doubtless they incorporate a lot of science and math in their design which renders them superior to the worthless cotton socks I'm used to.


And they keep your feet dry too!

A lot of people try out some new kind of running sock and say it's the best they've ever run in and they'll never wear another sock again. I can't say this for Drymax right now, because I've only run in them one time. But I'm the kind of person who likes to find something that works and stick with it. That's why I run in the Montrail Rockridges and have three of the same pair of running shorts. Judging by today's run Drymax socks work really well, and I'm really excited for the opportunity to continue to try out all their styles and sizes over the next few weeks. Get a pair yourself and see what you think. Especially now that the snow is flying and the trails are going to be cold and wet, Drymax has socks that are thick, warm and durable. Trust me: this is a great excuse to get some new socks and improve your day. And to finish, here's a Great Job! logo placement for Drymax:


Great Job!
