5 Benefits of Running Socks
Dedicated socks for runners offer several advantages over everyday socks:
- Breathability: A common feature in running shoes, many running socks also have mesh panels allowing airflow through to your feet, helping them stay cool throughout your run.
- Moisture-Wicking: Limiting moisture around your feet makes your run more comfortable and reduces the likelihood of developing blisters. Our R-Gear running socks have a special dual-layer system which pulls moisture off your skin to the outer layer of the socks.
- Cushion: Runners’ socks offer varying degrees of padding around the heel and forefoot for impact protection. More cushion is good if you prefer a softer feel or deal with frequent blisters or fatigue, while less cushion offers a better ground feel and typically a more breathable sock.
- Support: Most socks for runners also include some form of ankle support to limit blisters and provide a little more stability. It’s also common to see options with dedicated arch support to reduce fatigue during runs.
- Compression: Specific compression zones in running socks provide extra stability to prevent slipping, support good circulation, and reduce muscle fatigue.
