Socks for men (102 products)
That's difficult to say, as it depends on your personal preferences and the situation and environment you're running in. If you often run on the trails in nature, socks from Falke or Drymax could be ideal. If you tend to get sweaty feet, we recommend Smartwool. To avoid friction between your otes, Injinji socks are a good option, thanks to their separate toes.

You've probably already seen them: runners wearing those high socks - compression socks. The purpose of these socks is to provide compression to your calves. This promots blood circulation and therefore reduces stiffness. We explain more about compression in our blog on the benefits of compression
If we have to recommend a water-repellent sock, it would be Drymax. It's a technical, dual-layer sock that keeps your feet dry, even when water gets into your shoes. The first layer, directly against your skin, contains a water-repellent fiber - Drymax. This fiber ensures that your foot itself stays dry in wet conditions. The second layer, the outer one, contains a water-absorbing fiber. This combination of layers ensures that only a very limited amount of water reaches the foot.
Running socks
The best running socks? That depends on your personal preferences, the type of run, the weather, the surroundings... For example, trail running requires other kind of socks than marathon running on the road. And when it's wet and rainy, you need other socks than on sunny, warm days. It's difficult, we know. That's why we help you with our blog. You can also ask our advisors all your questions via the Live WhatsApp, or in one of our stores.
Why should I wear running socks?
Running socks offer a customized protection to your feet. They avoid blisters, friction or sweaty feet. That means a soft and comfortable running experience.
Maybe you run with regular cotton socks since day one, and don't experience any irritations? All the better. But chances are you will suffer from any kind of irritation in the future. For example when you go running on a different surface (like trail paths, sand...), or when you go experimenting with different paces. Than you might think of new running socks.
