Do you ever have that problem where you buy socks in your size and then once you wear them, you realize they were made for Lady Bigfoot or someone with 6 toes and a heel the size of a grapefruit?
Problem solved: Drymax Running Lite-Mesh Socks.
Normally I get my socks from stealing them from someone’s clothes’ line or having my grandma knit them Ross, a 6 pack for like $5. And before I know it, said socks could fit Shaq’s feet.
Shaq wears a size 22; this little boy does not.
These Drymax socks are awesome; they will rock your socks off. Wow, that was quite possibly the lamest thing I’ve said. today. They are very thin and very tight especially around your arch. They don’t do the slip ‘n’ slide like alot of socks do. Here’s some of the features:
- Flat toe seam so no bulky bunching up front
- Breathable mesh so less stank and sweat
- Vented arch band so less sweat
- Protective padding on the heel
- Smooth top of the sock to accentuate those lovely ankles, cankles, tribal ankle tattoo, what have you
Because these are tightly fitted and breathe so easily, you won’t get blisters as much and your feet will stay a lot dryer which means less friction. Since having them, I’ve only had 1 blood blister. Given the state of my feet, that’s pretty amazing. Normally my peds look like a cannibal took a hamburger grinder to them.
I’d recommend these socks to anyone… who has feet. The one negative is the price; I bought 3 pairs online for about $7 a piece so that’s a little pricey for foot covers, but they’re the only socks I wear for running now.
The only bummer is now I have a drawer full of gorilla-sized socks that are stretched out more than Jack Black in Kate Moss’ skinny jeans.

I LOVE Drymax! I refuse to run in anything else. I like it for my tri’s too because my feet are wet after the swim and these socks totally keep my feet dry(wicks it to the outer layer).
Welcome to the world of spoiling your footsies!
I want some Drymax socks. Thank you for reviewing all your awesome products! I love when others find the good in something, it gives me a reason to buy it!
ha ha ha
Love your blog! You hold quite the pace on your long runs! Hope your leg gets better!!!
good socks are a MUST, for me the absolute worst is when the band at the top of the sock slips down below your shoe. I like no-show socks but had to start getting slightly higher-cut, dorkier socks to prevent this.
Quick question. I wear a size 6, and all of the socks say they should fit my feet but they are too big right out of the package (beyond the later Shaq effect). Do these start small and stretch to your feet or are they kind of long to start? I am desperately looking for some good workout socks! thanks
hey girl – just found your blog as it seems we blog in the same “circle”
Anyhow – thanks for this post as i have the most ridiculously small feet and that sock stretching problem occurs ALL the time for me! definitely going to try these out
