To all the runners out there, happy National Running Day from the Sneaker Report crew. Now, let's get down to business.

Blisters are a runner's worst nightmare. Fortunately, the good folks at Balega have a sock in their arsenal that is designed specifically to protect against dreaded blisters. Properly named, the Blister Resist sock uses Balega's Dry-Mo technology to keep blisters away, so you have one less thing to worry about on your next run. The low-top sock is reinforced with microfiber mesh panels for ventilation and durability, and features a seamless toe construction for additional comfort.

The Blister Resist sock's wide arch band provides enhanced arch support. It also features a high tab heel that helps keep the socks in places--yet another reason why the Blister Resist is one of the best cushioned performance socks available today.

$13
