If you have tender toes, then you know that working out can mean more than just aching muscles. The wrong socks can rub your feet raw with rough material or sharp seams.

Many, many times we've been really cooking on the elliptical machine, thinking, "We're finally going to fit into that sample size dress!" only to cut the workout short because of painful blisters from our socks.


After searching through the Adidas outlet, Niketown, and the (kinda snotty) New Balance store, not to mention every Sports Authority on the east and west coasts, we finally found the solution on the foot care aisle of our local Walgreens, in the form of a sock developed for people with diabetes.

Pure Care Diabetic Relief Socks are incredibly soft, don't have a seam to tear at your toes, come in a couple of styles -- a mid-calf crew sock, and a more stylish mini-crew -- and are priced very affordably at $3.99.

Now that we know about these socks, we're hunting for a new reason to get out of going to gym, but our feet feel a million times better.
