Review

I wore a pair of the PhD Run socks at the Resolution Run earlier today and they rocked!  My toes usually go numb when I run in the winter and these socks kept my tootsies nice and toasty.  I had to run thru several snow banks and I was amazed at how dry my feet were.

Specifics:

Smartwool uses Merino Wool which works to  manage moisture, improve breathability, regulate temperature and control odor.

Pros:

– Comfortable

– Warm

– Light

–  Wick Moisture Away from Skin

Cons:

– Expensive (but well worth it)

Overview:

These socks provide warmth and comfort for cold weather conditions.
