WISH sock order?

[Mouse Skywalker]

Would anyone be interested in WISH socks? I know we tried this last year but fell way short of the 120 pair minimum. I thought with the new people we may be able to get over the hump. I'm starting the thread over because I don't know how many people from last year would still be interested.

Here's a picture of the socks courtesy of Tiger Lily 03

Last year we put in an order, and I bought 2 pairs. I only use 1 pair for special races, and I sometimes train or race in the second pair. My training pair is starting to wear out, and I'd like to get more. However, since it's a custom order I would need to order 120 pairs of socks (too many for me). Would anyone out there be interested in some socks? The socks are from SockGuy would be around $6/pair + shipping. I've liked the SockGuy socks, and they've done well for me.

Put me down for 2.

 

[Jen117]

Dave, I would also do 2 sm/m.

 

[Hey Mickey]

Put me down for 3 -- that way there is a reasonable chance I'd be able to find a clean matching pair at any given time, right?

I seem to think I asked this before, but . . . how does the sizing run? I'm a women's 7.5 in running shoes, so would that be s/m?

 

[CharityLynn]

I'd maybe go with 2 pairs, I'm a women's show size 8.5..any idea on the size for that. (I only say maybe because of money right now..if I know when we order I can make sure I have the money

 

[Worfiedoodles]

Put me down for 2 sm/m

Thanks!
Maria

 

[smileyk8]

stick me down for two as well- s/m i think (again, i'm sorry i would need postage to UK, obviously will pay for it!)

 

[Goofyin08forErica]

Put me and evil Panda down for 4 pairs

2 pair sm/m and 2 pair lg

Thanks for doing this! We missed you at the WDW marathon weekend this yr, but family always comes first!!

Erica

 

[Steffwalks]

I'll be having 4 pair, sm/m.

 

[funwalker]

I would like 2 pairs
No idea on the size, but with the Wright Sock Silver Elite I wear a Med.

Thanks

OK, gotta ask - why the penguins?

 

[Mouse Skywalker]

Good Morning Everyone:

OK, I updated the list to here, and got everyone. Thanks for your interest. I think the s/m are a good size for women's shoe sizes 7-10. Our teammates that have the socks might be able to speak to it.

OK, gotta ask - why the penguins?

Oh, that's a great question. The penguins represent a running term that was really embraced by John Bingham who writes in Runner's World and has written "Marathoning for Mortals" which a lot of us use. It's for us people at the back of the pack that are out there doing it and enjoying the experience. We felt it symbolized the spirit of our team pretty well.

This is from John Bingham's website...
In the running lexicon, the word "Penguin" has come to mean a person who runs more for the joy of running than for recognition and public rewards. Some of us are perpetual Penguins. We are consumed by the pleasure of movement.

 

[DiRTyBuNNy]

Just like last time put me down for 3 pairs: 2 L/XL and 1 S/M

[bunnyfoo]

I'll take a couple pairs as long as you can ship to Canada

 

[tigger2esq]

I am interested. can you let me know the sizing? I am a womens size 10 so not sure if that still is within the s/m category or not. 3 pair.

 

[marsuzcos]

Dave, I'll take two pair! Thanks for doing this!!

Hi Everyone:

OK, I updated the list to here. Please make sure you specify what size you like. If you didn't specify, I put you down for s/m (which seemed to be the most popular size last time).

tigger2esq- I think a s/m should still fit you. My DW is a woman size 10, and I think she would wear the s/m. They do shrink if you throw them in the dryer though. I wash mine on cold and hang them to dry.

 

[Tiger Lily 03]

Dave if you need you can put this in your first post or I can.

 

[fan_of_small_world]

OK, the picture sold me, lol! Please put me down for 2, s/m. Thank you!!

 

[1/2Marathonpixie]

Please put me down for 2 pair of s/m. Thank you!!
