Men's Sport Socks
It doesn't matter what sport you are playing, wearing the right men's sports socks can make all the difference to your performance. Sports socks provide cushioning and protection for your feet during physical activities. So it's just as important to choose the ideal socks as it is to pick out the perfect pair of sports shoes.
Just like footwear, certain socks are designed especially for particular sports. It goes without saying that you wouldn't wear walking boots to go running and in the same way you should not wear socks developed for hiking when you're taking part in other sporting activities.
What to look for
With such a wide range of men's sports socks available it can be tricky knowing exactly what to look for. First off, decide which activity you want to use your socks for.
If you're going cycling or heading to the gym opt for lightweight socks with good wicking capabilities. These will not only help to keep your feet cool but should also combat odours. Be sure to have a spare pair stashed in your gym bag just in case.
When playing sports that impact on the foot or pounding the pavements on a long distance run, consider socks with some special padding for protection. Don't forget that motorists can struggle to spot runners in the dark, so make sure you can be seen by donning some high visibility clothes or accessories.
Walk this way
A range of thicker socks are available to provide warmth and comfort during hiking trips. Some socks feature a double layer to reduce friction on the foot and help ward off painful blisters.
Whatever sport or activity you choose, remember how important it is to stay hydrated. Grab a reusable water bottle and refill it before every session.
Finally, decide what size and colour sports socks you need and make sure you buy enough pairs so that you always have some washed and ready to go.
