3 Compelling Reasons Why You Should Pay $10 (or More) for a Pair of Performance Running Socks

April 30, 2014 By Complete Runner

Feetures Running Socks

Running shoes get all the attention.

Most people realize the importance of a proper fitting and gait analysis to find a pair of running shoes that work well with your feet to offer the optimal performance and comfort, but what about the socks?

Wearing high performance running socks is critical, especially while racing. Here are three reasons why you shouldn’t fret at spending $10 or more for a good pair of running socks.

1. Performance Running Socks Keep Your Feet Comfortable

Sweaty feet aren’t cool (literally), and that is why a good pair of running socks offer wicking technology to keep your feet dry, cool, and comfortable while running.

2. Performance Running Socks Reduce the Chance of Blisters

Just like running shoes, high quality running socks offer a great fit to your feet. Not only is this comfortable, but allows your socks to stay firmly in place to reduce the risk of movement between your foot and sock, greatly reducing your chance of getting blisters.

3. Performance Running Socks Compliment Your Running Shoes

After taking the time to find the perfect pair of running shoes, it just makes sense to also fit your feet with a good pair of socks. A good pair of shoes with crappy socks won’t allow you to reap all the benefits from your shoes, so think of high quality socks like the perfect complement to your running shoes, like Peanut Butter is to Jelly (except not as messy).

A few dollars more for a good pair of socks is a great investment into your feet, offering you the best performance and comfort possible. With many quality brands to choose from, like Feetures, Balega, Wright Sock, FitSock, Injinji and SmartWool, Complete Runner is not only Flint’s favorite place to buy running and walking shoes, but also running socks. Stop by today and let us help you make your feet happy!
