What are the Best Socks for Runners?

Why are running socks so important and what are the best socks for running? Sports socks should provide grip, comfort and proper support when running. This is important to prevent injuries, irritations and blisters during activities. The breathability of thin socks ensures that your feet stay dry for longer. With anti-slip features on the sole of the socks, you as a runner can be sure of sufficient grip in your shoes.

When do you actually opt for thick sport socks and when for thin ones? Thick socks provide more comfort and support, while thin running socks keep your feet dry. Most brands also differentiate between running socks for the left and for the right foot. Functional socks should be slanted so that they also fit next-to-skin at the little toes. Socks which haven’t been specially designed to provide a left or right foot fit, often are a bit roomy at the toes and can cause irritation and blisters because of this. Yet another feature of running socks is that they should also help cushion impact shocks to relieve the Achilles tendons and the heel of the foot.
