A hot, wet foot is an unhappy foot. Besides leading to blisters, a steamy foot is a breeding ground for odor-causing bacteria.

Drymax goes to great lengths to help you preserve a clean, dry foot environment. To prevent dirt from getting next to your skin, the socks do not have vents and have extra padding around the ankle to create a seal.

But the biggest difference between Drymax and other socks is in their approach to moisture management. Instead of relying on the wicking properties of the fibers used in most socks, Drymax utilizes two layers of propriety fibers to keep moisture away from the skin in an outer, moisture-attracting layer. It works.

Also furthering the goal of blister prevention: excellent "3D" fit, and a soft, smooth, seamless inside. If you do a lot of running in wet, sloppy conditions, or otherwise struggle with blisters, you owe it to yourself to give Drymax socks a try.
