Socks

[surgtech1956]

Do you have favorite socks either for running and/or cycling? I like a cushioned sock, no specific brand though. Yesterday when I had a gait analysis, I was given a very thin/no show sock to try on the shoes.

Teko merino.

I can't run in anything but wool, and Teko are soooooo much nicer than anything else I own.

For cold weather: wool (have Smartwool and Patagonia)

For warm weather: Swiftwick http://www.swiftwick.com/. Very comfy, well-fitting, wicking, just a touch of "cush".

Smartwool, teko, and balga. I have a couple pairs of wright socks (double-layer) if I'm having blister issues.

In the winter if it isn't too cold I sometimes run in smartwool ski/snowboard socks and shorts. I like the compression factor of knee socks.

I have been wearing Injinji toe socks for a long time, and just read they are coming out with a cushioned version. They also have a NuWool sock but I haven't tried it (I think Knot wears and likes them, though).

I do LOVE smartwool socks, though. If I am wearing stupid-feet-shoes, I wear the smartwool, especially in the cold/wet.

I like the thin, low-cut socks with the arch support band. I have Asics, Nike and New Balance that are all about the same and love all of them.
