RUNNING SOCKS

READ: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BUYING RUNNING SOCKS

A pair of technical socks is a non-negotiable part of your running kit. Far from being a minor detail, the right running socks are your best defence against the blisters and discomfort that can ruin a run. This is purpose-built equipment, providing the specific build needed to protect your feet and let you focus entirely on your performance.

The main question runners ask is: how do socks prevent blisters? The solution is twofold, targeting both moisture and friction. Unlike cotton socks which hold moisture, technical running socks use quick-drying synthetic fibres to move perspiration away from the skin, keeping your feet dry. This is combined with design features like seamless toes and, in some cases, an innovative double-layer system that stops the sock from rubbing against your skin, which is the direct cause of hot spots and blisters.

Targeted cushioning is placed in high-impact zones like the heel and ball of the foot for added protection, while secure arch bands lock the sock in place, stopping it from slipping or bunching inside your shoe. For runners seeking extra support or faster recovery after long efforts, compression running socks can help improve circulation.
