Best Socks for running

[matthewxcountry]

So what socks do people like the best?

Tell me the brand/model, how well they handle blister prevention? Are they compression? Whats the durability like? and anything else you would like to share.

Recently I have been having blister problems and realized that I am just wearing regular socks not designed for running. So maybe getting real running socks would help.

You should get WRIGHTSOCKS.

First pair I find on the top of my drawer in the morning.

I have a pair of size large (9.5-11.5) smartwool compression socks I'm trying to get rid of. They're BNIB and retail for $37, but I have a couple different compression socks already.

If anyone wants them, shoot me an offer.

i just buy those cheap ones that come in bulk. The thin ones though, not the thick cotton ones.

-Enduro - supportive, durable, no blisters, 3 years
-Pro Pacer - thin, dries quickly, no blisters, continue to use them without a rip or stretch for 2 years now (handles artificial turf abrasion while striding)

right behind are Eurosocks, but they stopped selling them at runningwarehouse. i used 5k silver light weight model
-my opinion is that these are the best socks with support and it feels good. very durable, light, thicker than the pro pacer, thinner than the enduro so perfect thickness, bought them the same time as the pro pacer and hold up better than the pro pacer.

and ill second wrightsocks but they loose durability after a year, especially if you do striders in them

See I prefer the thicker ones because I feel that the thin ones rip/tear very easily
