Be Smart and Don’t Get Sweaty Feet When Running

September 29, 2012 By Complete Runner

smartwool socks

Certain things can happen when you are out for a run that aren’t ideal.  One of the things that come to mind is hot, sweaty feet.  Sweaty feet can cause your socks to rub uncomfortably against your shoes and your feet to hurt, go numb, or get blisters. Not only is this uncomfortable for you and painful for your loved ones with the horrific stench when you get home and take your shoes off, but sweaty feet will hinder your performance. 

Most running shoes have come a long way to offer good ventilation that helps to keep your feet cool, but a good pair of running shoes is only half of the solution.  The other half is a good pair of running socks.

At Complete Runner we like to say that cotton is rotten.  No, we don’t boycott cotton totally, just for runners and physically active individuals.  Cotton absorbs your perspiration and the fabric will stick to your skin, leaving you wet and uncomfortable.  This is true not only for socks but also for shirts.

Be Smart About Sweat

By leaving your cotton socks back home in your dresser, you will save yourself from hot and wet feet. Replace your cotton socks with a good pair of socks that are made for running. 

Most running socks offer comfortable wicking technology to control moisture, temperature, and odor.  You will also want to make sure they are durable to last you a while. 

The Smart Choice for Running Socks

As temperatures have dropped and winter is just around the corner, you want to make sure your feet are warm when running but not hot and sweaty.  The popular socks right now are SmartWool.  Not only do they offer everything you need in a comfortable running sock with their signature “4 degree banded fit system” but they will also keep your feet warm in the cool temperatures.  Oh yeah, and they come in unique and fun designs that will keep you hip and trendy!

Check out the SmartWool socks at Complete Runner to keep your feet happy when running this fall and winter.
