A good pair of socks can make or break your athletic performance. The last thing you want to think about while you’re on the field or court is your feet – they can blister and distract you from putting your best effort forward. A good pair of elite sport socks can prevent blisters and keep your feet cool, dry, and comfortable to allow you to play longer and harder.
The main factor to consider when selecting sports socks is material. Ideally, you’ll want to avoid cotton and go for more breathable fabrics like nylon or acrylic. These materials wick sweat and dry relatively quickly to help keep your feet cool and comfortable, and they’re also more durable than cotton. You can even find athletic socks made with superior merino wool that’s both breathable and odor resistant.
Other important factors to consider when selecting athletic socks include sock height, thickness, and if you require any special features like anti-blister or compression. Blistering can be a major issue for runners, so socks that are designed to reduce the likelihood of blisters will usually have an inner and outer layer of fabric that wicks moisture away from your feet and keeps them cool and dry. The double-layer construction also helps to eliminate friction by reducing the amount of heat that passes through your shoes and skin, protecting against the friction that normally causes blisters.
These features are all available in our range of elite sport socks, which are designed for maximum athletic performance.
