Keep Your Feet Happy
When you think about finding the best running shoes for you, do you also think about getting the best running socks? For some, running socks become an afterthought when you’re on the lookout for running shoes. However, socks play an important role in your overall comfort in running shoes.
What NOT To Do When Buying Running Socks
Keep in mind this catch phrase when you’re on the lookout for running socks: cotton is rotten. The best socks for running use wicking fabrics. Cotton allows sweat to soak the socks, leaving your feet sweaty, damp, and uncomfortable. Wicking fabrics allow the sweat to evaporate, leaving your feet dry and comfortable. Don’t make the mistake of wearing regular socks (which typically contain cotton in the fabric) in place of running socks. Your feet will thank you!
How to Find the Best Running Socks
The best way to find the best running socks for you? Visit a local running store and get your feet inside! At St. Pete Running Company, you can get to try out a variety of running socks to find the ones that you like best. Just like running shoes, your running socks will serve you best when you keep your goals in mind. For race day, you might prefer a lighter-weight sock with higher compression. For long training runs, you might be interested in the higher cushion socks. Every sock we offer at St. Pete Running Company is cotton free.
