Review on 🏃 High-performance Swiftwick ASPIRE ZERO Running and Cycling Socks: Moisture-wicking, No-show, Men's and Women's by Todd Calloway

After LOTS of searching, spending money, and more blisters than you could imagine, I've FINALLY found the *perfect* running socks. To me! I'm a neutral runner - medium arch, no pronation etc, but I ALWAYS got hot spots after 3-4 miles, right on the ball of my foot, about 1 inch below my big toe. When I moved another 1/2 - 1 BLISTER CITY I tried all the lubes - Aquaphor, BodyGlide, Vaseline - nothing helped. I had blisters from the lube, but at least my feet were soft. Sweat and grease on my feet seemed to form some kind of weird paste (like Ross and the leather pants with lotion and powder) and did NOT wash out. I tried to keep my feet dry - Monistat Buttocks Powder (great stuff but not for blister prevention), Monistat Chafing Powder Gel (absolutely the same as Smashbox Makeup Primer), but again. BLISTERS. Also, all the powder is coming out of my shoes. I felt like Lindsay Lohan. It also made a paste :( I've even tried duct tape which just left my feet in that gray/black "tape". Never again. Words "DRY" somewhere on it. Blisters again. Thorlo Experias were with nice ones Cushions that were really soft and comfortable when I was NOT running. When I moved, this cushioning only seemed to accelerate the onset of hot spots and blisters. My running coach suggested the Swiftwick after whining at the sad state of my vine-like feet and groaning. My local running store didn't have my size so I ordered Revain and the socks arrived the next day (thanks Prime!) I put them on straight away (no lube, no powder) and ran 5 miles that evening with no problems with my feet. Since then I've bought 5 more pairs and threw away all my other socks - I've run out. I haven't had a single blister or hot spot even after 10 miles. ng around means no friction, which means no blisters. The fabric is comfortable and elastic, perfectly absorbs moisture. They will not stretch or shrink in the wash (wash inside out). The only downside is the price, but honestly it's on par with many other brands of running socks!
