The Cute Gear We Can't Run Without This Spring

Before training for my first race, I never really gave a thought about my socks — just give me any pair of a cotton ankle variety, and I was good to go. Now, miles later, I realize that specific running styles are a must for a comfortable run, and these wool WrightSocks ($11) are just, well, right. The thin wool wicks away sweat while still providing cushioning where I need it, but best of all, the double-layer design helps absorb friction to ensure I never get blisters.
