Running Gear and Accessories

Do you get your regular size with running shoes or up a half size? I just bought a new pair and haven't worn them. They are my regular size and felt good, but I didn't try 1/2 size up. I was reading somewhere yesterday to buy 1/2 size up for running shoes? Should I go try the next 1/2 size up...

Answered by a doctor

What kind of socks do you wear while running?

Answered by a doctor

What kind of socks do you wear? I have always worn plain cotton socks, but for some reason, they have been giving me blisters lately. I have coolmax socks, but they make my feet feel all sweaty and hot (my feet never sweat in cotton).
