It’s funny how the little things make such a difference. My daughter ran in cotton socks, even though we told her not to, and got a blister. She then complained it was because she didn’t have enough running socks. The next day my husband and I both went and bought her running socks – without knowing the other one did of course, but now she has 7-10 pairs, so she’s covered. (Of course I found them cheaper).

My favorite socks to run in are Balega. They are low enough to be hidden but have a padded tab on the heel and are padded along the bottom of the sock. The top is airy and light. It’s so tough for me to pay $9 for a pair of socks though.
