Question:
I currently wear Nike sports socks but was wondering what others wear. I
only ask as I am getting soreness and the occasional blister on my right
foot.
As for my shoes. Well after trying a few different shoes I settled for a
pair of Nike 'Spectacle' but returned them after 10 miles of running as they
hurt my right instep due to a defect on the insole. I have now got a pair of
Nike Air MAX which fit really well. However, I have a little soreness again
on my right foot around the ball of my big toe joint. Could this be sock
related.
Answer:very thin socks. brand doesn't matter but I like the DeFeet, the Ironman,
Pearl Izumi etc. I used to run in those thick Thorlo's but they just
weren't as comfortable on long runs - seemed to bunch my toes together and
they'd get all nasty blistery. Lots of people on this website recommend
barefoot - I may experiment on some shorter runs.
As for shoes - I have been running in Brooks Hyperions for quite a while and
love them. Especially when I find "last year's" model for about $20 less
than "this year's" model!!!
