Running | How to choose the best running socks

Not all socks were made equal! Read on to find out how to choose the best running socks for a better run.

HOW TO CHOOSE RUNNING SOCKS ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS

Breathability

Depending on weather conditions and the intensity of your runs, using socks of a different thickness would be more effective at wicking away perspiration and make you feel more comfortable during more intensive runs.

In order to keep your feet stable, some of these socks have reinforced zones.

Compression

Compression socks or sleeves help to reduce muscle fatigue by facilitating blood backflow and thereby reducing your muscle fatigue. It also helps you in adapting quickly to different weather conditions and prevent injuries.

HOW TO CHOOSE RUNNING SOCKS ACCORDING TO THE TYPE OF RUN

Flat terrain

Pavements, park connectors, city roads, stadium tracks, even the occasional unavoidable staircase are all considered flat terrain. For flat terrain running socks, comfort while running is the main priority. Therefore, special focus is made on softness, lightness and breathability.

Uneven terrain

You will encounter uneven terrain when you decide to venture into nature where the ground is often uneven, rocky, slippery or muddy with and a fair amount of uphill and downhill obstacles.

We have socks that are more comfortable when it comes to running on uneven terrain. These often provide better ankle support, better shock protection on your calves and will prevent you from getting sprains.

RUNNING｜How to Choose Running Shoes

When it comes to running, first, you need to choose the right pair of running shoes. People tend to think that the costliest shoes from top brands are the best. This is a huge misconception. You should choose the pair which fit your feet, your stride and your running style perfectly. A wrong pair of running shoes will make you feel uncomfortable and you could end up with painful ankles, heels or shin pain.
