Wright Running socks review + 1000 mile giveaway

by 100 Comments

I have run two marathons, 5 half marathons, and numerous 15+ mile runs in the same pair of Wright Running socks.  I love them!  They are a two layer sock, made of a really light weight polyester and nylon mix.  I wear the quarter height because they prevent rubbing from the top of the shoe heel and the tongue.  I’ve worn them in all sorts of running conditions and never gotten a blister.   They are the one pair of socks I own that work in both brands of running shoes I wear. 

When I contacted the company and told them how awesome their socks are, they offered me a pair to give to a lucky reader of my blog.  I’ve decided to give them away as part of my “1000 miles for 2010” giveaway, along with one tube of nuun and the glass I “earned” on Friday night to three different winners.

To enter,  leave me a comment telling me which item you would prefer to win.

For extra entries(leave a comment for each):

  1. Become a follower or remind me you are already a follower
  2. “Like” MCM Mama on Facebook
  3. Tweet about it (be sure to include @MCM Mama in your tweet, so I see it.)
  4. Link the giveaway on your blog.
  5. Tell me about your favorite running sock (I love these, but I like variety, so I’m always willing to try out something new.)

Giveaway ends Friday, September 24th at midnight.  Three winners announced on Saturday.

Disclaimer:  I received the socks I’m giving away free from the company, but my opinions are my own.  The nuun was purchased and the glass I received for drinking beer. ;o)

  1. I have been wearing Wright socks for a couple of years now and I tried every sock imaginable due to the humoungous blister I would get in my right arch. DISGUSTING. I wear the XLT…and I rarely run with any other sock, unless its a treadmill run or a short 3 miler then i just grab whatever.WRIGHT SOCKS RULE!!!!!!!!!

  10. I love Wright Socks too! I have a few pairs of them and often wear them for my long runs. I've also found SmartWool Running socks are a good alternative for the days my Wright Socks are in the wash. Wool and running sounds funny, but even in the heat of summer, I find that these keep my feet blister free and dry!

  14. I've been wearing Nike socks. I like them better than the new balance and adidas socks I tried, but I am not in love with them. So thanks for giving me something new to try!

  16. I am a follower and I would love to try the Wright socks. I have a few pairs of Zulu that I love in the winter and some Sole for the summer, but I am always looking for the perfect sock!

  24. I haven't found a pair of socks that I'm totally smitten with…tried adadis, danskin and a few other pairs. Would love to try Wright socks and see if these cute blisters and lacking toe nails would go away!

  25. The only real running sock I've ever tried is the Under Armour heat trainer. I like them okay. They have never given me a blister themselves, but they are the low cut style, and they have slid down a little bit so that my shoe has rubbed a hot spot on the back of my ankle. Might be better with something other than Mizunos.

  35. I would really love to try the Wright socks.I wear Balaga socks. They are comfy and I have never gotten a blister either. I only started wearing "running" socks the last maybe couple of years of running – I don't know what I was thinking!Thanks for the giveaway!

  39. I love Injinji toe socks. The reason I'm not wearing them right now is that I needed the double layers to help heal some blisters. I'm pretty sure the only reason I got blisters wearing the Injinjis was because all my pairs were between 3-5 years old and worn out. Up until my 26km run I had never gotten a blister from them.

  42. if I were to win I would prefer the nuun (1st choice) or socks (2nd choice). not a beer drinker (or any alcohol anymore for that matter) so the glass would need to go to someone else. 🙂

  65. I am currently wearing microfiber socks that I love but that do not wear well. I have already had to stitch up the toe of one of the three pairs I own. I must be hard on socks as my SmartWool socks have also been stitched up.Guess I would prefer the socks but would be excited over any of the items.

  69. I would love to win the nuun. I haven't tried it, and am in the middle of training for the NYC marathon (peak in just 3 weeks!!). And it's been HOT here. So there you go!

  73. My current favorite socks are Bridgedale (I think). My husband ordered them for me after being tired of seeing my disgusting feet…not a blister since!

  93. My favorite running sock? Well, I like the Reebok All sport socks, but for a short sock I like a Balega product – womens endurance ? I just know the package. Or, I like bamboo socks, any brand.
