5 Tips for selecting a pair of socks for race day
If you’re thinking that a pair of socks can’t change your workout, then you must reconsider our tips for selecting the right pair of socks for your race day.
Tip 1: Seamless Toe
This will totally change your life. Maximum comfort throughout your race without those irritating little seams on your toes adding extra pressure.
Tip 2: Check the material composition
A good suggestion for the best performance socks would be a Polyester and Nylon blend. A cotton sock tends to absorb moisture which increases friction and causes blisters.
Tip 3: The length of the sock
Each sock length is designed with a certain purpose in mind. A short sock is usually associated with running, crew with cycling and mountain biking and knee-high for soccer, equestrian and trail running.
Tip 4: Breathable mesh
Ventilation is key. Your socks need to breathe, which allows your feet to stay cool and dry throughout your race.
Tip 5: MUST match your kit
You need to increase your trail credibility amongst your friends. Selecting a design that suits your personality and vibe is crucial.
