It’s a free topic week on the Tuesdays on the Run Linkup and I’m celebrating with a Balega Sock giveaway. Before we get to that, here are the linkup topics for the remainder of the year. I can’t believe I’m typing that but there it is. Father Time waits for no one:
12/3: Runner gifts
12/10: Show us your 2018 race bling
12/18: Evaluate your 2018 goals
12/24: 2018 in review
12/31: Best and worst of 2018
Tis the season for giving so I’m giving away some of my favorite things. Let’s start with the feet.
Balega socks are hands (and feet) down, my favorite. Whether it’s the hidden comfort no-show in summer, the Enduros, Silvers or the Blister-Resist Quarter length that are oh so perfect for winter on the trails because they’re just long enough to close that gap between sock and tights to keep icy winter wind out, I never saw a Balega I didn’t love.
Since it’s cold out there I’m giving away the Blister Resist Quarter length. I’ve got blister-prone feet and these keep them blister-free and happy, even through marathons. They’re made of a blend of mohair and Drynamix® moisture wicking fibers. They feature a seamless toe and a little support for the arches that feels divine. The cuff is just long enough to keep out dirt and gravel if you’re a trail fan like I am. Last but not least, they come in some fun color combos. Because runners are all about fun.
WIN IT!
I’m going to be mysterious here and not tell you how many winners there will be. Maybe one, maybe more. So if you’d like a chance to try some Balega Blister-Resist socks, I suggest you get in on this one. Good luck!
It’s that time again…
Be sure to join me right here this Friday for the Runfession Friday Linkup!

I’m a die-hard SmartWool gal, but I have heard many GOOD things about Balega socks! I like that there’s pretty colors 😉
I’ve heard great things about Balega socks but Ive never tried them! I really like Feetures and they seem kind of similar.
Feetures, Bombas and Injinji Toe Socks!
Balaga all the way here! I’ve never tried the quarter length, though!
I have Balaga but am currently running in Swiftwick, love them both!
You know I am a sock whore. I’m currently loving those Swiftwick socks, especially the crew length, for this cold weather!
Balegas are my favs! They have just the right amount of cushioning for me.
I have not tried those socks- I feel like a winner!
I also love Balegas. Won’t run in anything else. I just bought hubby 2 pairs of their crew socks for his birthday. Yes, he has the nerve to have a birthday right before Christmas!
Balega socks are seriously the best! They are the only socks I run in!! 🙂
I currently wear Nike ankle cuff gym socks. These sound super comfortable!
Balegas are my favorite!! Love them. Otherwise it’s feetures and smartwool
I use Smartwool and Features. I’ve heard of Balegas but am excited to try them.
I think all of my running socks are Balega. I used to get blisters all the time in high school and college, and I rarely get blisters now. I think my last blister was March, and before that, who knows!
I adore Balegas! I always wear the no-show, hidden comfort Balegas. I won’t run without them!
Recently discovered Balega blister resist socks and they made a huge difference during the Seawheeze half marathon in September—no blisters after slogging through many wet miles! They are number 1 on my Christmas list this year.
Balega’s have always been my favorite sock and you cannot have too many. Thanks for the ideas on posts for the next few weeks. I am definitely “running” out of ideas at the moment
I love Balega socks! I also wear Features and Wright Socks.
I love Balega socks! My other favorites lately are Swiftwick Pursuit (merino wool) and Wrightsocks. I think I might love socks as much as running shoes:)
Did I ever tell you that I actually dislike wearing socks to run? I ‘ve run without them and ended up getting blisters on the top of my feet, so I guess I have to wear them and when I do, I very much enjoy my Balegas!
Thank you for posting the topics for the rest of the year. I took a screen shot so now maybe I’ll actually keep up with the topics! Sorry for not following them the last few weeks. -M
I am almost embarrassed to say that I have never tried Balega socks. I love the look and their description, but I can never find my size in stores. Thanks for getting my saliva going again!
Balegas have always been a favorite! I’ve also been running in Darn Tough and Smartwool lately.
I use Tabio right now but I love Balega! :]
I’ve been running in the sketcher Go-dri socks for a while now, but am looking for a change. Definitely want to try the balegas!
I own one pair of Balega that are in rotation with my Feetures socks I usually walk/run in.
I LOVE balega socks! They have carried me to many a finish and are my go to for ultras!
I’ve never tried this brand but I’ve heard good things about them! One of my friends would constantly get blisters when running but since she switched to this brand she’s been much better!
My husband’s fave for running are Swiftwick and I’m a fan of Fitsok. But, for everything else I love Balega. Even when I gave birth I was wearing them 🙂
I really like the Jack Rabbit socks that I got recently. Thanks for the giveaway!
Love belagas!! All I run in!
I like soft, breathable cotton ankle socks. These look fabulous.
I like Balega, Lily Trotters, and SmartWool socks for running.
I typically run in ProCommpression or Smartwool. But I am down to try any type of sock at least once.
I have no idea what socks I wear. I just put them on. I am however trying to find toe socks that separate my God from one another and allow me to feel like I have more control when I run.
My running socks are just ordinary socks from Costco 😊
What fun! I received a free pair of Balega socks as swag for a local half marathon two years ago and since then, they are all I ever wear!
