A few weeks ago I did some MAJOR Blog stalking! It started out very innocently: it was a Monday morning; I was reading blog posts and race reports from the weekend and just happened to find a post about Drymax Socks, written by an Ultra runner who swears by them (no blisters for her after a 100 miler). Well, then I just happened to spend the next few hours (yes, more than one) blog stalking everyone who runs, blogs and swears by Drymax. From that moment on, I knew I needed a pair. ASAP.
Bob, at Drymax Socks, is awesome – and the reason why I am hosting this awesome giveaway! After said stalking, he sent me 8 pairs of socks: a few for my blog readers, and a few for me (I’ve already given a pair to my mom). I haven’t stopped wearing them since they came in the mail. 
These socks are wonderful – and totally keep my feet dry and blister free. As an avid runner (and running for almost 20 years) my feet are NOT pretty. I had finally accepted my long term relationship with blisters and realized that not even the most expensive pedicure would make my feet look good – until my feet met Drymax Socks. It seems, that blisters and my feet, are breaking up (and the foot modeling business may be in my future).
Seriously, though, one of the best things about these socks is their versatility – they are made for different activities and weather conditions: hot weather running, trail running, cold weather running, tennis, walking, maximum protection, etc. Finally a sock that is made for everything that I do!
And, in case you don’t believe me – here’s website proof:
Drymax Socks Actively Prevent Blisters
Drymax technology socks were designed to actively prevent blisters.
1) Drymax socks fit because they come in 5 sizes, and were developed on special 3D foot shaped models which accurately represent the human foot.
2) Drymax socks do not irritate skin because they are soft and seamlessly smooth on the inside.
3) The inner layer of Drymax fibers, along with vents built into the socks, allow liquid & vaporized sweat to pass through to the separate outer layer of the sock, then to the shoe lining. Blisters caused by sweat vapor or liquid sweat are prevented because Drymax fibers stay dry, breaking the Blister Cycle.
So, if you are as excited as me about living BLISTER FREE – you are in luck!! 2 lucky winners will win Drymax Socks (2 pairs/each – size Medium)!!
Here’s how to enter:
1) Go to the Drymax website and blog. Read some of the incredible stories about runners and Drymax socks (one Drymax lover got MARRIED in her socks!!). Leave a comment about your favorite sock and why you want and need to live blister free.
2) Become a I RUN LIKE A GIRL follower
3) Link to this giveaway on your blog…or tell others about the giveaway.
I will announce a winner on Monday, October 19.
Happy Running!
I'm training for my first half marathon & I am always looking for great socks!
I live in MS where it is very humid so moisture control is a must!
I love the running hyper-thin v4

I'm in definite need of some Moisture Control Socks – a few weeks ago, I got my first blisters (I'm training for my first half – oct 24th!!!) and I so could've used these! Pesky blisters!
I'm a fellow blister sufferer! This summer I was too afraid to wear flip flops in public because I was scared some poor unsuspecting soul would look down at my feet and be scarred for life. I'd love to own the Maximum Protection socks.
I got chafed from my socks rubbing on the top of my foot sunday at the marathon! i'm interested to try these snazzy new socks you speak of!
I just ran my first 10K yesterday and I was deathly afraid of a blister! Luckily, I did not get one, but these sweet sock could be some good preventative maintenance. And I'm a follower!
I have a pair of Drymax socks but after wearing them so much, they now have holes! So, I need some more! I have the running v4 which I like for winter but it is too thick for me during the summer.
Oh, and I am already a follower!
I LOVE the "running lite mesh" socks. Remaining blister free is CRUCIAL to a comfortable run!
P.S. I'm already a follower!
I get blisters from ALL socks! It sucks, I would love the "running" socks to help me out with that problem!
I'm also already a follower!
I'm a follower. Count me in! I want blister free runs.
I really need running socks! I only own one pair of real running socks from peal izumi, and I like them because they are thin and prevent friction. I would loooove to try some drymax. I hear they are awesome 🙂
and I am a follower!
OMG… I really need to try those. I get blisters really easy. I also struggle with my toe nails. I am headed over to check out their site. I am already a follower.
BTW…. I really need/want those socks…. I love the lite mesh…. but I would try anything. I am headed to the part of town with the running store tomorrow… Might have to pick me up a pair for Sundays marathon.
Yay! I love running socks! I've honestly never tried these, but they seem awesome, and Medium is just my size! I linked back to this post and told my readers about your giveaway (http://livingandlovinginla.blogspot.com/2009/10/100-posts-and-dress-rehearsal.html) And I was your 107th follower! That orange heart is me! I'd love to try the Maximum Protection socks. I've also given up on my feet, they used to be so cute before I started running! My first marathon is Sunday! Anything to help to poor tootsies! Crossing my fingers!
I would LOVE a pair of the v4 socks! I'm all about using good socks because I HATE blisters! i always lather on the Body Glide so that I can prevent my feet from getting nasty…but it would be great to have socks that could prevent too!
I'm already a follower! 🙂
Thanks for doing a giveaway!!
Great giveaway!! I would love a pair of these!! The v4 socks look really nice also!! Blister Free is the way to be! I need to be blister free by my wedding next summer so that's why I NEED these socks! Haha:) I'm already a follower!
How great is it that I came upon this today??? My 12 year old daughter and I just started training for a 1/2 marathon on Valentine's Day here in town. I've been looking online for some inexpensive cold weather gear and was just thinking she needed some socks! Those Lite Mesh ones are the ones for me….. and hopefully her! Great giveaway!!!
Guess what??? I'm a follower!!
The drymax blog is really cool. I love the pictures of everyones feet after the 100 or 153 mile runs! I would love to be blister free because then i wont be hobbling around work so much!
What a great giveaway! I got a blister on my big toe at mile 10 of my second marathon. I could feel it for the next 16 miles! That was the day I decided I would never run again without body glide and some hi-tech socks. I can always use another pair 🙂
I like the Running Lite-Mesh or Hot Weather Running. It seems most of my running socks are a little heavier so a light pair would be awesome! Although it is getting cold, so hmmmm…
I am a follower…

I'd like the running-lite mesh sock. I run about 50 mpw, so happy feet = happy me.
Since I live in Miami the ones for hot weather look amazing. In the past few months I have been doing longer and longer distances and have been getting some crazy blisters on my poor baby toes.
