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.
