The winner of the Iditarod Invitational raves about Drymax Socks, and how he wore then for 5 days without changing, and didn't have a single blister at the end of the race. Awesome! We love Drymax Socks on sale at CoolFitWear.com.
"And then one last thing I want to include is a HUGE rave about Drymax socks. I've been using these socks for over a year now, and you've heard me rave about them before, but this time they shocked me yet again. I ran pretty much all day for a full week, almost entirely in one pair of Drymax socks, and I didn't get a single blister! I didn't even change my socks once for the last 5 days of the race! I know I've said this on this blog already, but if you haven't yet tried Drymax socks, you're missing out on BY FAR the best running socks money can buy."

Drymax Cold Weather Socks -- Don't Be Left Out in the Cold!
The Drymax Cold Weather Crew Socks are selling like hotcakes, literally. Or is that coldcakes?
One of the hardest challenges in cold, freezing temperatures is keeping your feet warm and toasty. Once your feet get cold, the rest of you will be miserable. Staying dry is the key to staying warm in cold weather. Moisture pulls heat away from the skin 23 times faster than air. Yet we walk around in moisture all winter long -- it's called snow. Moisture can reduce skin temperature so rapidly that wet, damp feet feel painfully cold. Drymax socks have a special dual-layer moisture removal system that keeps feet dry. The moisture-attracting outside layer draws moisture to the outside of the sock, keeping your feet warm and dry.
Drymax Cold Weather Crew Socks are a high density protective padded sock. Think "thread counts" in your bed sheets. A high density (HD) sock has higher thread counts compared to a lower density sock. This little illustration tells the story. The Drymax Cold Weather Socks are considered a high density sock, so this helps to aid in the insulation factor.
They are knit with hollow core polyester fibers on the outside to increase the insulation factor. The front of the sock has a third layer of Drymax fiber insulation, since that area is inclined to get the coldest due to wind chill.
Independent laboratory tests have proven that Drymax Socks are the #1 Sock to keep feet dry -- up to 25 times dryer than other socks. Cotton is the absolute worst because it attracts and holds moisture, but even wool socks are no comparison to the fiber technology in Drymax Socks.
Needless to say, we are smitten with the technology in Drymax Cold Weather Socks. There is nothing worse than cold, freezing feet!

Minimalist Footwear - Stem Primal Origins
Stem Footwear Minimalist Shoes at CoolFitWear.com
Stem Footwear is noticeably different from other minimalist shoe brands. It is the most flexible footwear with the widest toebox so that your feet can be comfortable and your toes can splay apart freely. These shoes feature a proprietary air-infused rubber outsole that is 50% lighter and more flexible than the rubber sole used in Vibram Five Fingers. The Stem Footwear shoes also have a natural foot shape and a stitch-down footbed that eliminates the need for a midsole/insole. These are not shoes from a traditional shoe company!
The soles of Stem Footwear is made from air-infused rubber. Think ultra light and flexible -- they move with your foot, not against it.
To give you an idea of how well received these are in the marketplace, one of our first customers bought a pair, and then turned around and purchased three more pair from us within 2 weeks. Do you get the impression our customers love these shoes?
I will have more on information on Stem Footwear soon. For now, check these out:

Braces for Prevention of Sports Injuries
The American Journal of Sports Medicine just came out with a study that shows that there is a reduction in the incidence of ankle injuries when using ankle braces as a method for the prevention of sports injuries. This study was done on high school football players, but it could have relevance to any type of sports, including soccer, running, tennis, etc.
Ankle Braces Help Prevent Sports Injuries
The study included 2,081 players from 50 high schools, and it was concluded that players who used ankle braces had a lower incidence of acute ankle injuries than the control group that was not wearing ankle braces.
CoolFitWear.com has added the collection of ankle braces, achilles braces and knee braces from CEP Mediven since we agree with the American Journal of Sports Medicine on the value of ankle, knee and joint support. For a 10% discount off all merchandise, use the Coupon Code: "Blog" during checkout. Purchase here:
