Running socks

Technical and moisture-wicking, with targeted cushion zones and arch support to prevent rubbing. Pick the height by season: a no-show sock in summer, ankle or quarter for a bit more protection.

Compression socks

Knee-high socks or sleeves that apply graduated pressure to the calf to support the muscles, aid circulation and speed recovery. Ideal for long distances and post-run. 2XU and CEP specialize in compression.

Merino wool

Naturally thermal-regulating, odour-resistant and soft, merino wool keeps feet cool in summer and warm in winter, and stays comfortable even when damp. Smartwool and Wigwam make it for running, hiking and everyday.

Hiking socks

More cushion underfoot and at the heel, a taller cuff that protects against boot rub, often in merino for moisture and odour management over multiple days. Choose the thickness by weather and boot.

How to choose

  • Running: a breathable technical sock with targeted cushion; avoid cotton.
  • Long distances, recovery: a graduated compression sock.
  • Heat or deep cold: merino wool, which regulates both ways.
  • Hiking: a more cushioned model with a mid-calf cuff.

Our brands

Why avoid cotton socks for sport?
Cotton soaks up sweat and holds it against the skin, causing blisters and cold, damp feet. Technical fibres and merino wool wick moisture away and dry much faster.

What are compression socks for?
They apply graduated pressure to the calf to support the muscles, aid circulation and reduce fatigue and swelling. Useful during long distances and for post-effort recovery.

Why merino wool for your feet?
Merino regulates temperature (cool in summer, warm in winter), resists odours and stays comfortable even when damp, without the itch of regular wool. Perfect for running, hiking and everyday.

Which sock height should I choose?
A no-show sock for summer and lifestyle, ankle or quarter for a bit more protection when running, mid-calf for hiking and compression. It comes down to season, shoe and preference.

How do I choose my size?
Socks usually follow a shoe-size range (e.g. 37-40). Go by each brand's chart and your usual shoe size.
