Not sure which running socks are right for you? Check out these tips and buying advice from our experts:
"I used to run cross country and track in college, and one thing I always recommend is investing in a good pair of running socks. Especially if you’re a distance runner, your feet take a lot of friction with every step you take. Wearing a cotton-based lifestyle sock can trap moisture and increase friction, which can lead to blisters and discomfort. Choosing a running-specific sock can make a huge difference in how your feet feel, helping keep them comfortable, fresh, and ready to go mile after mile!" says Former NCAA DI Cross Country/Track and Field Athlete and DICK'S Teammate, Caden C.
"As someone who has been a runner for years, running socks make an incredible difference. From Nike, Bombas, Feetures, and all other brands, getting a true running sock gives you the breathability, cushioning, and support that a shoe alone cannot provide. Getting good running socks is a gamechanger!" shares Bryden N., Runner and DICK'S Teammate.
No-show running socks, crew-cut and low-show socks are great for casual runners, whether you're hitting the track or logging miles on a treadmill. These styles of socks keep your feet protected and comfortable while sitting low on the ankle to prevent over heating your legs.
Knee socks and compression socks improve blood circulation, covering your entire calf to deliver stamina and performance. Triathletes and endurance runners often turn to extended socks to reduce injuries and cramping.
Compression socks and sleeves boost performance by increasing blood circulation, but choose a pair that fits both the size of your foot and your calf's circumference. Socks that are too tight can impair circulation, while socks that are too loose offer no benefit over regular socks.
Choose socks with anatomic padding along high-stress areas for additional comfort.
