Mail: Hail to the Trail Runner II

We get mail from our dedicated fans, telling us various stories about how their Wigwam socks have made a difference.

Here is an email that we would like to share with you from two dedicated racers and Wigwam fans.

Dear Wigwam,

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for making great socks and let you know a few of the things we’ve been putting them through.

My wife, Sara and I are competitive runners. We have participated in ultramarathons, trail, mountain and snowshoe running races across Canada and the U.S.  We have also done extensive multi-day fastpacking (running with our camping gear). In addition, we have also competed in a few dogsled races in our spare time.

During this time, we have been thrilled with the way our Wigwam socks have performed.  They are the most comfortable and durable socks we have ever worn and would not feel confident competing in anything less.  Most recently, we competed in the Haliburton Forest Ultra on September 8, 2007.  Sara won the women’s 50km race and I was second overall in the 50 mile race (my first 50 miler).  The course was on very technical trails with many long, steep ascents and descents.  We loved the way our socks fit, provided comfort and kept our feet dry.  Our feet and bodies took a beating, but we were amazed that we both came through our races with absolutely no blisters or foot problems at all (Note: we both wore the Wigwam TrailRunner II).  This was a true indicator in our books about the quality of Wigwam socks and how well they perform.

Thanks again for making fantastic socks and we look forward to continuing to have many great new adventures in the future with our Wigwams!

Sincerely,

Derrick S. and Sara M.

What has happened to your blog and website? I use to check back here from time to time to see what is up. You have not offered a new post since October last year? This was a very cool dynamic place to read about other people and watch videos and whatnot. I am still waiting for more Dr. Socks.

I am sorry, but your site is beginning to SUCK!

This is interesting to read. I just purchased the Lite Trail runners to help train for the Bald Eagle Mountain Megatransect (www.ultrahike.com). So far, these are AWESOME socks!! I never knew there was so much difference between these and regular cotton socks. Glad I found out this little "secret" early on in the training.
