Cold Day, Warm Socks!
I received a great note from our friend Meredeth Murphy from the frozen Northeast! Meredith has Raynauds Disease and has be very careful about cold weather activities because of dangers to her feet.
Here is a Drymax Cold Weather Sock review from Meredith's Blog:
"So, I have posted a few times about the DryMax socks that i was graciously sent to try. Finally, we have had a stretch of cold weather where I can really test out the cold weather socks. I have always had issues in the winter with my feet and circulation. I have Raynauds Disease and it has made winter running sometimes very painful, and once, quite dangerous.
Several years ago, after a 50 mile race, I suffered from Pernio Chilblains, which is damage to the vascular system, similar to frost bite. It was super painful and scary. My podiatrist warned me heavily to never let it happen again, because in the future, each episode will be worse and I could very possibly lose toes. That scared the bageebus out of me! Since then, I have been very careful to not get my feet cold + wet, but running outside in the winter, I cannot avoid the cold. Normally, during cold weather, my toes and some of my feet are completely numb when I run. It can take 10-60 minutes for my toes to regain feeling. It is not fun.
The past few weekends that the weather has been good enough to go outside, I have worn the DryMax cold weather socks (the red ones!). My feet have been fine so far. It has not been ridiculously cold, but some runs it was in the mid 20’s when I started. In the past I would wear TWO pairs of socks!! So, if nothing else, it has been an improvement to cut it down to one. So far, so good. I am a big fan and hope that the rest of the winter i have numb toe free runs!
Thanks Drymax!!!!!!"
