Sock Review - Feetures! Ultra Light

So I'm pretty picky when it comes to race running socks. Regular, normal work out socks, or running socks I'm not so touchy about. I am good with Lucy training socks, or even just some C9 from Target. But when I race, I usually like to run in a thin pair of Newton Running socks. So when I went to purchase my latest pair of Newton Running shoes, I let the salesperson talk me into a new pair of socks by Feetures! They are called the Ultra Light Running/Walking sock. (They come in several colors for men or women.)

They were a little pricey at $15, but I know you get what you pay for, and when it comes to racing I want a good quality sock. So I tested these pretty purple things out twice in the past week. (Yes, I did wash before the second run, thankyouverymuch.)

The bottoms.

Overall, I'm very pleased, and would purchase another pair or two. They were quite comfortable, just the right thickness for my shoe, and wicked away perfectly. And I think they are pretty. Right? Who doesn't love a nice purple sock. I liked the height as well - above the top of my shoe, but not so high that they looked funny and nerdy.

Give these socks a try from your local running store and let me know what you think!
