Sock options

Article Abstract:

Ten pairs of socks especially suited for runners are evaluated. All of the socks were rated good and there seems to be socks to meet every runner's need. Wool, synthetics and blends are used. The Ultra Thins, priced at $10, by Smart Wool, do not itch and draw moisture away from the foot.

Easy to be cool

Article Abstract:

Running in summer heat and humidity can be made easier by wearing the right clothes. New shirts and shorts made of synthetic fibers help perspiration evaporate quickly from the skin leaving runners cool and dry.
