Rock ’em Sock ’em Running Socks

Runners are notorious for obsessing about new shoes, but few spend the same effort selecting the right socks.   Considering that running socks are the only layer between the foot and the shoe, choosing the correct model will greatly improve running comfort.

Here are three new and innovative running socks.

::GEARBOX
Running Sock $13
Veba
08622

A Canadian company, Veba’s socks wick moisture and provide comfort with their cushioned toe bed and heel. A seamless toe minimizes friction while the elastic arch strap provides a snug fit.

::GEARBOX
Performance Series Toesocks $18
Injinji
00322

The most distinct feature in the Injinji socks is the individual pockets for each toe. This construction reduces friction and the possibility of blisters but requires a short adjustment period for runners coming from conventional socks.

::GEARBOX
1/4 Crew Low Running Sock $18
Drymax
09622

The innovative fabric in all the Drymax socks provides incredible moisture control for blister-free running. The Microcap fibre treatment permanently controls odour-causing bacteria while the variable knit construction hugs the arch.
