Running socks for a close fit that won’t slow you down

Whether you’re gearing up for a quick morning jog or a marathon, make sure your socks are just as comfortable and supportive as your shoes. Running socks are designed specifically to cater to the needs of runners, so you can think less about your feet and more about the road or trail under them.

When you’re ready to pick out a pair of running socks, think about what kind of cut you want. Tab or ankle socks give you just enough coverage to keep your foot comfortable, while longer boot or crew cuts provide protection from trail or road debris. Running socks are typically lightweight, with less cushioning than heavier hiking socks to keep you as close to the terrain as possible. For the ultimate in close fits, toe socks have the added bonus of reducing blisters while you run.

Make sure you’ve got the right gear to match your running socks with our selection of trail running shoes and road running shoes. Don’t forget the running clothes, either – the more comfortable you are, the more kilometres you can squeeze in.
