SockGuy Channel Air Running Socks

SockGuy Channel Air Running Socks

The Bottom Line
What could be better than a high-performance wicking sock that also comes in fun designs? SockGuy socks have a great blend of light cushioning, moisture control, and high style. The ribbing keeps the socks in place over the miles and the Channel Air design keeps your feet aerated so sweat doesn't build up to help blisters form. SockGuy Channel Air designs come in a 1-inch or 2-inch cuff, while their double knit mesh line comes with a 3-inch cuff.

Guide Review - SockGuy Socks
SockGuy makes fun, high-performance socks for walking, running and biking.

Materials: 75% wicking micro denier acrylic, 15% nylon, 10% spandex. These socks will help keep your feet dry to prevent blisters.

Fit: SockGuy socks come in two unisex sizes: Small-Medium and Large-XL. They use spandex in the sock to give a Stretch-To-Fit™ sizing system. Ribbing provides arch support and helps keep the sock in place. The anatomic heel design also keeps the sock from bunching. Unlike many socks with ribbing around the arch, I got no bunion pain from these socks. I was also pleased that they came out of the washer and dryer the same size as they went in - that's a big sore point with me for some other sock manufacturers.

Fun Designs: SockGuy socks have fun designs on the cuff and even throughout the sock. These socks would make great "stocking stuffer" gifts for any active person. I look forward to adding to my SockGuy collection! The drawback - hmm, I'd have to buy a couple pairs of each design in case I lose one to the Washing Machine Monster.
