The Defeet Aireator sock is designed for runners, cyclers, and any other sports enthusiast prone to sweaty feet (hey, don’t be embarrassed… it happens to us all). The socks are thin with a mesh weave that allows moisture to escape. They have “Stayfast” cuffs that keep the sock from sagging, no matter how hard you work and how sweaty you get (remember, we’re not being embarrassed here). As a girl, I like the colorful “Daisy” version pictured here, but the Aireators are available in a number of colors and designs, including plain old white, if that’s what you want. You can find the socks on the Internet for about $8.
If you’re tired of picking specks of dirt off the bottoms of your feet all through your yoga workout, you might like the idea of wearing shoes. Of course, your clunky tennis shoes won’t work; you need special yoga shoes. The lightweight Yoga Mescolisi (is that some secret yoga code word?) from Nike is made from recycled materials that offer a stretchy lining that’s supposed to feel just like being barefoot (minus the dirt sticking to your toes). Special rubber pads on the outsole allow for full foot articulation, so you can still flex your feet in all those weird positions that yoga requires.
