Thorlo Socks Rule

Have you tried Thorlo socks? I am not trying to turn my blog into anything even remotely commercial but I just am sincerely grateful for Thorlo's support of the Triabetes project. As part of their sponsorship, they shipped us each a nice package of Thorlo socks of our choice. At first I thought, "These socks are thicker than what I wear and I might not like them." But I was wrong! They have the right amount of thickness (a little more cushioning on the bottom yet still thinner on the top) for the styles that I got, and they are very comfortable for those long (or short) runs. They have definitely become my preferred running sock. I also have word that the people who own the company sincerely care about feet and wouldn't want to sell you a sock that might compromise your foot health. When I ordered a fun pair of ultra-thin socks for skiing (to fit my boots), they were concerned and double-checked that I really wanted them, since they might be a little rough on my feet. Thanks for the socks, thanks for supporting Triabetes, and thanks for caring so much about feet!

Here, here! I've had the same pair of thorlo ski socks for the last 8 years and am a believer! I'll have to try out the running version.
