There's more than meets the eye when it comes to running socks. A decent sock inside a well fitting shoe can provide an additional layer of protection and comfort to your hard working feet. With technical features such as moisture-wicking fabrics, anatomically placed cushioning, arch support and ventilation, technical socks can help reduce blisters and generally maintain the health of active feet better than a cotton sock. Running socks come in a variety of lengths and styles and are very durable if looked after properly.
