Do You Know How to Find the Best Running Socks?
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. But which kind of sock is best for running and walking, and how do you find them? We’ve got some tips for you to consider when purchasing your next pair of running socks.
What NOT To Do When Buying Running Socks
A pre-warning for every walker and runner: cotton is rotten. Keep this catch phrase in mind when you’re on the lookout for running socks. 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 that are not specific to running (which typically contain cotton in the fabric). Your feet will thank you!
Let’s Simplify Running Socks

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.
