Find Best Price at Amazon"I have a number of pairs of Balega socks which I've worn for running, and the Soft Tread is my favorite overall. I've bought five different types of Balega socks in total: Balega Soft Tread No Show (Balega Soft Tread No Show - Royal BAL8926). Balega Ultralight No Show (Balega Ultralight No Show Socks - Royal Blue/White - Small). Balega Hidden Contour (Balega Hidden Contour Socks, Black/Yellow, Large). Balega Hidden Comfort -- THIS PRODUCT. Balega Blister Resist No Show (Balega Blister Resist No Show Socks, White, Large). The Balega Ultralight are very thin and rather smaller--especially in comparison to the other models. They are both a bit thicker and larger than the Soft Tread socks, but they are comfortable and nicer for winter weather, when I tend to wear them running. I like the Soft Tread best (for running) because they are thick enough to be padded and comfortable, but I have to pull them snug on my feet so there is no room for my feet to move against the sock. Though the Hidden Comfort came with an L on each sock, that stands for "Large", not "Left"."
"I have arthritis and these are comfortable and well padded to soften my steps in my exercise shoes."
"The socks are not too thin nor too thick."
"Recently wore them for a half marathon in the rain and they did not budge."
"For one thing, they don't slip down off my heels, even if I sleep in them as foot warmers."
"I wear shoe size 10 - 10.5 so I odered a pair of these in large, and the fit is good."
"They have the right amount of cushion without being too bulky or leaving your foot too squishy inside your shoe."
"My husband says that these are some of the most cushioning, comfortable running socks he has ever worn and he's training for a marathon and doing 15-20 mile runs in these."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Champion gear have typically fit as one would expect for my son who is 5'9" and 230 (purchased large)."
"Lightweight fabric for those times when you need just a little extra coverage."
"Not sure why they have made this change as the old style better allowed people of different leg lengths to wear the same size pants."
"Found them to not have an overly long inseam, the gathered closed loop hem helps."
"Fit is good around the waist but legs are baggy and longer than some other athletic pants we've gotten."
"the material felt very cheap......the string used to tie the pants frayed after first wash."
"There is a solution, though it will cost more and is not Prime-eligible: Look up Champion Men's Closed-Bottom Jersey Pant (yes, it's exactly the same description as this pant here). The waistbands are made differently; they are much more durable and have given me much less trouble."
"Have to give one star because the trousers have 2 inches different lengths ."
We recommend ordering ONE size up (Regular Fit).

It's getting colder in CT, so these are great for keeping my legs a little warmer when I go out and run late at night. Despite my desire to show off my shapely legs from all the miles I run, my wife informed me that I need to wear shorts over these pants."
"Awesome love it , and it doesn't have the awkward sew in the middle."
"No complaints on the pricing either 👌🏿...not sure how durable this is after 50 washes and dries, or how well the color is preserved either....it's still early in my relationship here. I recommend this product to all who are looking at it through Amazon. Although, I am slightly concerned that the female line of this brand is lacking in diversity/options."
"Overall they are cheap, feel cheap, and I would NOT suggest the white ones."
"Run about 30+ miles a week and these are fine for New England winter avg temps."
"Wore these to the gym yesterday and it was not disappointing, I think they help on legs days."
"They're extremely comfortable, keep my legs warm and relatively dry."
"These tights fit well but are not the most comfortable."

"I love the look, but they pick up EVERYTHING off floors."
"They're a nice wicking material and fit comfortably, but they keep causing blisters under the ball of my foot and big toe."

Best Running Footwear
*We. always. recommend installing LOCK LACES with your foot in the shoe to ensure a proper fit. We recommend cutting 2-3 inches below the lock to leave room for adjustment. It is very important that you align the ends of the laces with these "teeth" to ensure that the clip stays securely attached. Added compression reduces pressure points to make your feet feel better throughout the day so you can perform your best! PERFECT FOR EVERYONE: LOCK LACES are a great gift for seniors suffering from arthritis or other disabilities, autistic children, runners looking to speed their triathlon transition up, or casual users.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I got them to make my sons pants tighter around the waist and it works just great."
"It's a drag alone to have to constantly tie your shoes that are on your actual feet, but even more so tieing your shoes when it's on a prosthetic leg. Thanks to these laces I never have to tie my shoes again."
"My son is 12, has fine motor skills ranging from 3-5yrs old and is independent with these laces."
"-Each pack comes with 2 laces, 2 locks, and 2 clips for the ends, all in a nice resealable plastic bag, which I used to store my old laces just in case. (I think stretching them that much would to fit your shoes would cut off blood circulation though). -Lacing your shoes with Lock Laces is a lot like lacing with normal laces. Once you finish using all of the holes in your shoes, or the ones that you want to, squeeze the locking mechanism and put the laces' ends through the two holes. If it doesn't feel right, make adjustments to the tension on the laces until it is most comfortable."
"I'm a marathon runner and use elastic laces on all my running shoes to avoid the typical shoe laces issues."
"I wasn't sure about them, because they are elastic and with a clipless riding shoe one uses their foot to lift the pedal for extra speed and strength, but these laces do a great job holding my foot surely in my shoe as it is clipped to my pedal. I'm not sure I'd put them on a pair of combat boots, but as far as riding, running, and walking shoes, these laces are fantastic."
Best Running Waist Packs
A simple, elegant and fashionable solution to a problem for all active types, gym rats, runners, hikers, bikers, and travelers. Multi-access pocket openings throughout belt.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"**Update** I guess I bought too tight of a size because it stretched.. so I ended up switching to using the single zip pocket belt from Nuclear as you can completely adjust it... Nuclear Strength Running and Fitness Workout Belt (Black). 1. The pockets hold your phone well tight against you, although I can't fit my keys in any of them (with the fobs)."
"I was a little apprehensive to add any bulk to my midsection but this belt works great!"
"In exchange for providing me with a FlipBelt of my very own, I agreed to write this review for Level Terrain Apparel. Those waist packs, sport belts, athletic pouches or whatever you might call them - fanny bags – those are like swear words in my book. I would prefer to stick pins in my nice tech shirts rather than wear a simple bib holder for the mere fact that it cinches around that area. When this FlipBelt arrived, the first thing I noticed is that it looks just like the top of my favorite yoga pants – a nice, thick 3-inch band. And according to the packaging the fabric is: “Wicking, Quick Dry Content: 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex.” I ordered black so that it would blend, but the belt does come in some fabulous colors such as yellow, aqua, pink, orange, green, blue, carbon, purple and maybe some day when I’m thin again, I’ll get the beautiful hot pink or aqua one….. maybe anyway. Note how the storage belt I was wearing helped make it look like I have a big ole "beer gut" because it's cinched around my waist so tight to keep it from bouncing around."
"I'm attaching a pic of the updated size chart that came with the belt (which matches the sizes offered when you place your order). Fit my wife just right but turns out that the size chart on this belt was different than the one on the Medium belt I first ordered."
"Larger items (i.e., a phone, keys) are going to withstand movement when the belt is flipped against your body. If you're ONLY putting a plastic card (e.g.,an ID or credit card) into the belt, there is a fourth pocket that's deeper than the other three that ends on the belt's seam. Put your cards THERE."
Best Running Hydration Packs
Hydrosleeve Easy Fill Bladder System. Bladder holds 7.5 oz of fluid, as much as a small water bottle, which is plenty of hydration during most runs/workouts.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"For a long run in hot weather, this does not hold nearly enough water but for shorter runs or runs when it is not hot outside it is great to be able to bring a bit of water with me."
"A great way to stay hydrated without the need to carry something in your hand or around your waist."
"The water felt heavy on my arm at first but when I started running, didn't bother me at all. I had soaked it in baking soda and water for a few hours but taste is still there a bit. -I like to put one ice cube inside and fill it up with water. -First time I ran, it rubbed against my quick dry shirt and pulled it out a little bit, like caused a fuzz to appear. It makes me think that there's no chance any water is coming out of this thing once it's sealed."
"So many things are well thought out...the angle of the mouth piece can be changed (just figure that out before you fill it! ); it is easy to fill and use and will not spill; is comfortable to wear (may cause chafing...see below); never splashes; doesn't move around; doesn't affect running stride; easy to get on; easy to tighten/adjust; has some insulation. A couple things I have discovered with these that I had to work through...if you are a triathlete with developed lats these may cause chafing unless your lats are covered - tri tops cut low under the arm are NOT the way to go."
"I will continue to use it for any run longer than 5 miles."
"My arm measures about 12" when not flexed. Another idea would be to include some type of phone holder on the outside of it. I know that would make it thicker and it might make it too heavy so that may not be the best idea I've ever had."
