7 Socks That'll Keep You Running (+ A Giveaway!)

As thousands of runners have their sights set on Boston, I am thinking about socks.

Have you ever been on a run, or a few minutes into a workout, only to feel your sock slipping under your heel or bunching under your toes and your workout takes a toll? Well I've been there.

So I recently set out on a quest to find some great running socks that won't get in our way as we push towards reaching our goals. A few awesome brands - Asics, Balega, Bombas, Brooks, Feetures! - pitched in to help me out.

I was somewhat surprised to find that I liked all of these styles, but for different reasons. Some are super-thin, ultra light weight perfect for a hot day, some are in between and others provided a good bit of cushioning and were better for those chilly Spring runs.

Because of this, I decided the best way to break it down for you is based on the amount of cushioning. After all, the shoes we're wearing and the weather have a lot to do with the socks we choose.

You Might Forget You're Wearing These Socks

3. Balega: Weightless Hidden Dry "Weightless' is no joke. These guys are thin, light, and silky
6. Asics: Quick Lyte Single Tab come in packs of three and will not weigh you down!

Mid-Weight All-Purpose Socks
1. Balega: Second Skin Fit: Ultralight While still very thin, these are a bit more substantial than the Weightless Hidden Dry, and are soft and supportive (so far, these are my favorite)
2. Feetures!: High Performance | Ultra Light | No Show Tab Supportive and snug feel in the right places
5. Brooks: Infiniti Double Tab Mesh Left and right foot specific design that rises above the shoe a bit, but not too high
7. Asics: Mix Up Your Run Low Cut Slight bit more padding but hugs the foot for a supportive feel. These peek a bit higher above the shoe than most the others

Cushioned 
4. Bombas: Ankle In my opinion the cushioned support of these socks are great for cool weather runs. Bonus: one pair purchased = one pair donated

Good news for you... Asics sent me extras so I'm sharing the love! Happy feet make a happy runner, am I right?
