Drymax® running socks are designed for comfort and durability. They are always keeping an eye out on how to have their Drymax running socks stay at the top of the heap. Drymax states that they are the #1 sock to keep feet dry, and they did the tests to back it up.
In independent lab tests, the Friction Free&rge; Profilen® fibers that are in every Drymax running sock stay up to 25-times drier than other running socks that are made without the patented technology. These fibers included Polyester, Acrylic, Nylon or even Wool-wicking. When your feet are dry, they are less susceptible to Non-freezing Cold Injury (NRCI) aka trench foot. This serious condition can result in nerve damage. Also, without friction between the running sock and the skin, there is less chance of blisters or hot spots. While blisters may seem like a minor inconvenience, they can be very painful and in a study done by RS Bush, SK Brodine & RA Shaffer, it was found that athletes suffering with blisters were 50% more likely to develop another training-related injury. Wet feet have also led to Athletes foot, toenail fungal infections and bacterial odor.
In Runner's World Magazine, a test group of marathon runners stated that the Drymax running socks helped their feet stay dry with no blisters when they went on runs that lasted over 20 miles. When you are staring down a sprint or an Ironman®, face it head on with Drymax running socks.
