Guide to Sports Socks

Sports socks are made in different lengths and designs, and often choosing the right sock can be difficult. We are here to help you clarify your options so you can choose the ideal sports socks for running, cycling, and the gym!

Before choosing a pair of sports socks, consider the following:

• The activity for which you need them (running, cycling, gym).

• The intensity of the exercise and the environment (indoor or outdoor).

• The time of year and the weather conditions.

Length of Sports Socks and Their Benefits

Please note that the length of the sock varies by brand.

• No-show / Ankle Socks: Ideal for running and the gym, they offer freedom of movement, reduce overheating of the feet, and prevent sweat buildup. In cycling, they are suitable for warm days and provide coolness.

• Quarter Crew / Mid-cut Socks: They provide light protection for the ankle and are ideal for trail running and cycling, preventing dust and small particles from entering. In the gym, they offer additional support.

• Crew Socks: Ideal for runners who need extra protection for the calf, as well as for cyclists training in colder conditions. They protect against friction and offer better blood circulation.

• Compression Socks: They provide graduated compression, helping to improve blood circulation, reduce muscle fatigue, and aid recovery after exercise. Ideal for long-distance runners and cyclists.

Sock selection by sport

• Running Socks: These socks are designed to offer support, breathability, and shock absorption. They can be low (no-show), mid-calf, or reach the middle of the calf for extra protection.

• Trail Socks: Ideal for running on rough terrain and mountain trails. They provide greater ankle protection and prevent dust from entering the shoes.

• Cycling Socks: Made with lightweight, breathable materials to wick away moisture and keep your feet cool. Low socks are ideal for summer, while high ones provide protection and support.

• Gym Socks: They provide support for the arch of the foot and absorb moisture, keeping your feet dry during training. Available in various lengths, depending on your needs.

By choosing the right sports socks, you can improve your performance, reduce the risk of injuries, and ensure greater comfort during training!
