Running Socks; Thick or Thin?

First of all, If your not in a proper running sock then get some. Running socks are made out synthetic materials that will wick away sweat and moisture. This will keep the foot less bloated and less likely to blister. They also are designed to hold tight to the foot so that it will not slide around and bunch up. NEVER RUN IN COTTON

Thick or Thin?

When it comes down to it, thickness is really preference. I personally prefer a thinner sock that breaths well and keeps my feet dry. This is especially important to me in the Houston humidity.

For others, Thick is the way to go. A thicker sock will have much more cushioning and will keep the foot from feeling cold in winter months. If you also feel like your shoe is moving around too much it will also help with filling up some space. It is best to find a thick so that is very thin on the top, which will allow airflow and sweat to wick away.

Socks I Recommend

Smartwool - made out of New Zealand Sheep's wool which is tempered to allow it to breath. Unlike normal wool, Smartwool keeps your feet warm in the cold AND cool in the heat. Comes in think and thin versions. Great for running, camping, and hiking. MY FAVORITE SOCK.

Features - Great sock that is soft and very thin. Now comes in a thicker version as well.

Thorlo - VERY THICK. If you want a very thick sock for a lot of padding or something to keep your feet warm, there's nothing thicker than a Thorlo sock.

Injinji- A sock that has all the toes separated. Sounds weird but feels great. If you have a problem with your toes rubbing against each other then check out Injinji

Asics - Asics makes quite a few different types of socks, thick and thin, that are all great.
