Socks

Specialist running socks are an essential for every runner. You can normally buy good quality socks for less than £10 and there are many benefits to be had from wearing them.

• Wicking material is used for many running socks. The material wicks away moisture from the foot to keep you cool and reduce sweating.
• Some socks have a double layer of material. This helps to cushion the foot and reduce friction with the trainer, to help prevent blisters.
• Some socks provide extra support for the foot, and extra protection around the heel and toe.
