In the past I used Falke socks, but some did not last very long, same to X-socks. I also have a pair of wright socks and like them a lot. In the last months I mainly used Asics socks which I quite like a lot. Recently socks with a higher leg and special colour design are very popular here (Germany). My favourite socks are now from Incylence.com, a new start up company from Germany, love their designs. Great vlog by the way.
Saucony Socks are the way to go for me. They have the best fit and support and feel snug. They also have a slight cushion on the bottom the makes it easier on the bottom of the foot.
I adore my 2xu soft -padded compression running socks. I use them at any occasion and any weather
Try Injinji No-show running toe socks. i’ve been running in them for almost a year, love em.
Own a pair of Physix Gear Sport Compression Socks. I also have cotton ankle socks.
QD: Gold toe powersox. BUT, I’m getting tired of no shows. Grit around my ankles…
I’m very simple/casual when it comes to running socks, I just wear the simple Nike dri-fit that come up halfway on the Achilles
I used to swear by Pro Compression. I still like them but I really like my Injinji and Stance socks so I am thinking about getting some calf sleeves so I can get compression with the socks of my choice.
There are some really great people in this YouTube family!!!!!
You get blisters from your toe nails rubbing against your other toes��
Sock talk talk socks! Merino wool, quick drying (for puddle jumpers) minimal odour, either Smart wool or Feetures. Everyone loves sock talk! ���� Like a little hug for your feet. ����
Darn tough Smart wool nothing beats merino wool in my opinion! Year round for any activity and every day wear. For synthetic socks I like Wright sock for running or cycling.
Injinji are the best for me, I don’t buy any other brand now. Really comfortable and they have some great styles, a bit pricey though
INJINJI TOE SOCKS. They are a hassle to fold, and slow to put on. but they are cheap and high quality with a great cut.
love feeling my toes splay out in my altra wide toe box. they are made for toe shoes but i wear them in normal shoes. Never had real regular running socks
I’ve been wondering if socks make a difference, i always thought socks are socks. I just recently started running so i”m pretty new to this world
I think the MD on those compression socks is for medium, not medical:D
I remember my first pair of running socks was from Drymax, it made a huge difference rathen than using standard cotton socks and especially for doing a trail running race back in the day.
After that I have tried several other brands such as: Smartwool, X-Socks, Inov-8, Hilly, Compressport and Wrightsocks (dual layer). Currently I am using mostly Inov-8 during my trailrunning and the X-Socks when I do road running, sometimes alternate with Compressport.
Big fan of Smartwool (can be a bit pricy but worth it). I tend to use these when I had a race, knowing that I will be using them for quite many hours and knowing that I had zero issues with blisters.
I think in the end it´s a matter of mix and match to find the right combination. What it works for you, it may work differently for me or any other person. However, it´s always good to have an insight about a particular model/brand before making a purchase decision or sometimes just risk to try and find our own conclusion.
Cheers!
I generally use Nike Elite cuschioned no-show/ Nike elite lightweight no-show especially in summer, sometimes nike elite quarter
Have been wearing only running socks for a couple of years now. with all shoes for work and running.
Great Video Content Jeff. It makes sense for me to invest in running socks that leave my feet dry and comfortable after walk/run and prevent blisters that have prevented me from enjoying brisk walk/runs in past. I just invested in some new minimalist sneakers for first time so needed socks and your video popped up! Thanks keep Up the Good Work!! Miss Identity
I have found wearing high compression socks increases running proformance, increasing blood flow, reducing blood cell damage, preventing injuries, faster recovery, I would recommend these for runners, cyclists or walkers.
Haven’t tried very many different brands but so far Feetures are my favorite.
Injinji all the way! They work great, especially for a marathon! With the toe socks, they do not slip, clump or cause other issues. No blisters ever! Great socks! You must try them!
I’m still trying to find a sock for this summer. I wore hilly twin skin in the cold months and for my marathon but with a marathon coming up in August I need something thinner I feel, yet still supportive. I’m trialing hilly mono skin and stance currently. I’ll check out Sockmine also
Steigen. Great light sock for racing, wide range of designs from their website.
QD: Injinji toe socks are my favorite! On the longer runs my toe nails on the smaller toes would begin to rub against each other & bleed. And those socks have helped prevent that ����
I prefer to leave out socks, because the less weight you have on your feet, the faster you are. Only below about 8 degrees Celsius, socks are needed.
Really, really helpful. I just got my first pair of running shoes and it became obvious to me that socks would be a very important part of the system. I don’t even want to hit the pavement without the right socks. Now I don’t have to waste money (and skin) on trial and error. Thanks for listing the brands in the description!
What’s up with the gojiman intro music:) I’ve tried both cheap and expensive socks and now I run in 3 4 usd running socks from the local Lidl store (drymax, low-cut L/R, and fitted). Except when wearing merino wool socks which are my favourite in cool and wet weather.
Only run between 55-65miles/week, but I just wear any random pair socks from a pack of 5 for £5 and have never had issues
“Listen…socks are socks” lol very well put, I’m not a pro but I’m totally looking into running socks, right now I’m using some And 1’s from wally world
Why have the best running shooes in the univer when you are running with bastard socks!!!
Are you using the GoPro Fusion? Love the awesome low angles you’re able to get. Too bad the resolution is a tad low, but overall worth it for the cool perspectives. Nice footage lately!
I love Lurbel socks for running and trail running. Bmax technology is awesome. Lurbel is a spanish brand
Stance quarter height running socks!! Perfect light compression of your arch and enough coverage to make sure your sneaker tongue and heel don’t cause any chafing.
Ive switched to running with 98% Bamboo socks, so comfortable and no issies afterwards, seem to help regulate temps better also in very cold weather.
Aah socks where there are just as many brands as there are brands of cars on the road HAHA.
Anyways as far as running socks go I have been experimenting with brands recently. Most recently I tried Bombas socks they were decent. But my favorite brand of the ones I have tried to this point have been Stance breathable, fit nice and have plenty of colors to choose from.
Aaah.. socks. Where to begin.. many socks will be awesome for the first few washes. But good socks are ones that feel great after loads of washes. Many get stiff and horrid. And… I am now completely against the anatomic ones with L and R.. when they were first introduced years ago, I thought.. cool. But now it is hassle. And I don’t think it is necessary. So I am another smartwool fan. Great after multiple washes and no L R specific (no more rummaging around in laundry trying to find the right match!). As for cushioning? I use smartwool light cushioning for easy or long days for extra comfort and ultra light for fast paced days
Smart wool PhD light weight cushioned. I run in these wool socks all year long. Yes, even in the summer. They are awesome!
Imo socks are important as are shoes. Team work is key, you wear lousy socks you won’t get that ‘feel’ to run/perform, unless for some who runs bare footed. I’m a novice marathon runner and play a lot of diiferent sports too, soccer, rugby, golf…I’ve used plenty of socks for my runs, my favourite at the moment are ‘feetures’ socks, they are seemless and really comfortable, have worn them for three ‘Full Maries’. Yes it’s partly psychological too. SJD fan from Thailand.
Totally partial here: Smartwool Elite Ultra light &/or Outdoor Light PhD hands (feet) down! Warm in winter, cool in Summer; come in several colors and lengths; high quality come with a guarantee; last years, not months, soft and comfortable…great value for the price. LOVE THEM, and I have tried a gazillion brands.
Cat socks �� is the only socks i have used in everything, and they feel good haahahah maybe i need to discover a little!!
My favourite is Injinji toe socks.. i like to have layers in between individual toes.. it feels less sticky and reduce my blisters..
Seth, I have to disagree with you on this one. You’re essentially calling socks a placebo because you ran in cotton socks in the past. I did too until I found the likes of Balegas, Rockays, Salomon, and others. Socks make a huge difference depending on the type of weather, distance, surface, and pre-existing health conditions. I think you should do an update to this video and better explain the proper features of running socks and their benefits.
Nike Dri-Fit socks have always been great for me. The cheap nike socks are garbage tho so you have to make sure you get the expensive ones.
Socks my favourite brands are two Australian company’s called Steigen and LeBent. Steigen make super light weight socks but they’re incredibly durable and comfortable.
I also love their blister free gaurantee, if you get blisters they will refund you.
And LeBent, I just found this company but they are basically better Stance socks, I only have one pair because they’re expensive but they’re amazing �� I think I’ll be getting these from now on.
Good luck Seth
Ive tried nike,asics,smartwool,stance,drymax, and feetures. Hands down feetures are my favorite, super durable with a great warranty on them. I have had less blisters wearing them and are overall very comfortable. Smartwool is up there too!
Feetures are my favourite socks I used to wear stance but I like feetures fit the compression around the arch light padding and the front and rear tab. They are red hot.
Smartwool. In different thicknesses and lengths for different workouts (thin for fast training, medium thick for regular days), no show/short for summer and long for winter. I love them because no faffing with L/R specific, but main reason because after a gazillion washes they are still soft to touch. Most socks get stiff or rough over time and no longer comfortable. But these last!
I’ve tried Runderwear and a few other lesser known brands. However I’ve found myself most comfortable with Hilly Twin Skin. I do have some stance socks I haven’t tried yet. That said, I’m sure there are plenty more I could get my feet into!
The top back of your shoe doesn’t rub on your skin with no show socks on?
Fav sock brand is balega so far. I like saucony too but not huge on all the synthetic compression stuff yet. I do like smartwool as well.
Jeff, thank you very much for uploading this video.
I need to get some good quality running socks and I found this item very informative, and you put your insights across so well.
Heh I like the smartwool in the winter too. And I just bought the NSO LONG RUN too some weeks ago and I really like it for longer runs!
My favorites are Smartwool and Road runner socks! I also love Pro Compression marathon socks.
I’m a new runner but been hiking for years, and socks are kind of a big deal among hikers. Y’all runners need to get your feet in Darn Tough socks. Lifetime guarantee, merino wool fabric (moisture wicking and naturally odor-free so you can wear them a couple times before they need a wash), and made in the USA. I love the Endurance series most of the year but run in Hike/Trek series in the winter and Vertex when it’s really hot.
Wow! This is a very detailed running sock description video! Thank you!
By pure chance (chance meaning I had no clean socks this morning), I went for it without them on my Pegasus 35. I did notice better ventilation from the shoe that I found to be a little warm (I live in Panama, Panama, meaning a cool morning is 86-90 F) so I did enjoy the extra cooling but I could feel the friction on my insoles. This is the first time in 3 years of daily running that i go with no socks, and you just posted this about socks, conspiracy? By the way I use the cheapest compression socks from a Japanese brand called Miniso (I think Chinese posing for Japanese-Korean brand), 2 dollars a pair do the trick
From what I understand from Stance, is that they use some kind of special threading that makes the sock have more bounce back and that it molds to your foot. It also has ventilation and anit-microbrial material. The thread is also made so that it is durable and so it can last longer than other socks
Injinji all the way! The amount of blister relief and sweat management from their toe socks are incredible. I don’t ever think about which of my 20+ Injinji socks to use; all cuts, sizes, and cushion are beyond any other sock I have used, and always make for a perfect run.
For trail running I find it really important to have a thinner sock that fits closer to the foot, thicker socks seem to move more and cause me blisters. I have plenty of good pairs, but my favourite pair are the Inov8 speed socks as they look great (especially with the Mudclaws) and never give me any blisters ��
After reading the comments I am tempted to try some Injinji socks…
Does anyone know if they are good for trail running?
My favorite are FEETURES… Love that wrap around support on my arch while leaving my toes comfortable.
