Fox River Socks Review
I was very happy to be the lucky lottery winner for my choice of several pairs of Fox River socks this year. As most runners, I am very cognizant about sock quality, thickness, and feel when related to the different assortment of running shoes in my collection. For example, I prefer a thicker sock for training and a thinner sock on race day when I wear racing flats. Fox River has the assortment of socks for all of my needs.
My lottery win enabled me to pick the following three pairs of socks:
1) Style 1245 – Ultra Light Velocity Quarter
Among the features listed below, I find this sock ideal for wearing on race day with flats:
- Sock has ribs on the top that hold the sock in place to eliminate slippage
- Vented panels remove moisture and keep you dry
- Soft, smooth flat knit adds a barefoot feel
2) Style 1259 – Wick Dry® Classic Quarter
This sock is ideal for longer training runs as I prefer some extra cushioning in a sock for longer runs. This sock features the following:
- Fully cushioned foot absorbs shocks
- Medium weight
3) Style 1191 Wick Dry® Athletic Quarter
This sock is ideal for winter long runs due to the heavy weight construction which provides warmth.
- Fully cushioned sole
- Heavy weight
To summarize, I am a strong supporter of Fox River socks and recommend them to everyone; not just the running community. I have pairs that are over four years old and still perform well and have no holes. Try them for yourself and let me know what you think.
