About Running Socks
FAQs

Running socks aren’t just regular socks with a sporty name, they’re purpose-built for performance.

Brands like Incylence, Sporcks, SHYU, and CEP design them with features runners can benefit from, blending moisture-wicking yarns, strategic cushioning, arch support, and blister prevention. Unlike standard cotton socks that soak up sweat and rub the wrong way, running socks help keep your feet dry, comfortable, and locked in place, kilometre after kilometre. You’ll find thoughtful details like compression zones, ventilated mesh panels, and seamless toes for blister prevention, making a big difference when the kilometres start stacking up. Once you try a real pair of running socks, it’s hard to go back.

Compression Socks for Improved Endurance and Recovery

Compression socks boost performance by improving blood circulation, reducing muscle vibration, and minimising fatigue. The gentle pressure from the compression supports your calves and lower legs, bringing more oxygen to the muscles during your run and speeding up recovery afterwards.

Many compression runner socks also come with moisture-wicking material to help keep your feet dry and comfortable. And, for added stability and comfort where you need it most, look for compression socks with targeted support zones around the arch, ankle, and calf.

For the ultimate recovery, pair them with salt capsules and electrolyte tablets for extra hydration.

Find your Perfect Pair of Runner Socks

The best pair will depend on three main factors: fit, cushioning, and weather conditions. To minimise blisters, your socks should be snug but not too tight. The cushioning should match your preference and running style.

For short runs in warm conditions, look for light cushioning. And, for longer runs or tough terrain, opt for socks with extra padding. For cold winters, look for insulating yet moisture-wicking fabrics like merino wool. And, for hot and sweaty summer runs, look for technical blends with quick-drying and moisture-wicking properties.

Stocking up on a range of different socks can help ensure that you’re prepared for all kinds of conditions. From light ankle socks to insulating crew socks, our premium selection offers excellent style, performance, and value for money
