Thanks Jeff for given me kudos today I can’t believe I found your comment good luck at practice today

I get starstruck when Seth gives me em kudos too. Lol.

@danielpimblett7356 3 года назад

QD: Stance!! I believe part of running good and feeling good is being able to look good ;) all of the "FEEL 360 TRAIN / RUN" are super nice to run in they feel amazing and also have the coolest designs! I love running in mid-high ankle socks that just match my shoes and whatever else I'm wearing, I know a lot of people don't think it makes a difference but when I think I look good I run good that's just it!! a big part of it is having that special pair of shoes or that vest that makes you feel fast!! not only is it important to dress for the kind of work out you're doing but to dress so YOU feel good! Running is so individual and self-expressive! so when im out on the run I want to make my mark with every step and if that means having a stylish pair of socks that also perform on then so be it!! keep up the vid Seth!!! x

@bruhmndm3051 2 года назад

YES! I highly agree with you! Mostly it's the mentality part of us doing the job. When we look good and professional, we do tend to lean towards that way

@lexington476 3 года назад

I like Swiftwick, the local running stores that carried them, and I really like them. They're pretty much now my go-to sock now for running and cycling.

@jonathanwatkins447 3 года назад

Balega Silver and hidden comfort and hidden dry. Silver a bit thicker best in winter. Hidden comfort best for all around. Hidden dry is very thin and great for summer. I never get blisters in any balega and very comfortable

@davebrown1100 3 года назад

Me either, had them years and no issues. Will be trying some injinji ones tho

@johnnymstoddard 3 года назад

QD: Injinji bc they have virtually neutralized the risk of blisters

@NZDERO1 3 года назад

💯 Percent mate, they're so good right! Definitely my go to.

@lindleyberkow5964 3 года назад

I had to switch from swift wick to injinji to prevent blisters in my 2nd toe once I started running farther then 6 miles. Cants wear anything else now.

@johnnymstoddard 3 года назад

@@lindleyberkow5964 agreed. I seriously can't think of wearing any other sock

@bcockton 3 года назад

i have used injinji for years. Took a while to get use to, but they are so comfortable. Never had a blister or hot spot ever.

@vincentvenieris2185 3 года назад

Feetures, they gave them away, after the PWC Half Marathon. 2018. I was hooked after that!

@jehspotlight 3 года назад

Yes love feetures!

@mfin0446 3 года назад

Yes, I'm a fan of Feetures as well. They have all kinds of thicknesses as well from Ultra Thin to Thicker socks. I prefer the Ultra Thin. I run in them exclusively.

@texasmh4973 3 года назад

QD: #1 factor with socks for me is NO blisters/hot spots. I use Balega Ultra lights for tempo/race day efforts and Balega Hidden Comfort for my EZ day runs. Recently started wearing Xoskin compression sleeves on long runs that actually create a cooling effect. This is a great topic and very interested to try some of the other brands you highlighted.

@johnk.1461 3 года назад

QD:compressport its my favorite ! really good build quality and the little bubbles under the sock are really good for extra cushion for Long 2-3 hours trail runs !

@NameMeDan1 5 месяцев назад

I have been enjoying my Brooks running socks. They are comfy and keep my feet feeling good.

@ebscoHOSTpub 3 года назад

I like Darn Tough. I work in logging boots and their lifetime guarantee is amazing. I am a huge believer that if your feet feel good and look good, then YOU look good. Pamper your feet people!

@HowardJungrun 3 года назад

QD : Thorlo thick crew running socks last many years! I like the thick bottom cushion. Run and walk very comfortably.

@ashliecourtney8065 3 года назад

Yesssssss!

@alyxandrasherwood1176 3 года назад

I train in Balegas and road race in Feetures. I also have a pair of Darn Tough and Smart Wool socks in rotation when I need a different texture or thickness. injinjii socks sound good in principle, but I already need wide shoes so anything additional between my toes is distracting. The most surprising sock brand I have found was Brooks - very deep heel pockets so they fit great, but they pick up EVERYTHING.

@roryj5045 3 года назад

Favorite socks-Injini toe socks, I have morton's neroma, so it is nice to keep the toes as unconstricted as possible.

@trevorcross7751 3 года назад

QD: My favorite long run sock is a lightweight thin Nike sock because i live in Florida and my feet get hot my favorite race sock is the Balega Hidden comfort because it’s very cushioned and feels the best very soft and for my track workouts and or interval training I use Nike quarter height socks because they look cool and who does like to look cool when going fast

@Sevkick 3 года назад

Steigen is hands down the best sock if youre blister/hot spot prone especially for road running/cycling. Its the only sock i wear now. They are slick in the beginning but grip better the more you wear them. Durability is great too. I have yet to wear a hole in them over 2 years of use

@davidmartini2757 3 года назад

QD. Seth Steigen is an Australian company. They are my go to summer road running sock because they are not as thick and I like the designs they have (little bit of “flash”). My race day road race is x-socks. They have support through arch and ankle and have a specific right and left sock so are comfortable for racing.

@1519Spring 3 года назад

Favorite sock brand is Darn Tough. Good product and a lifetime guarantee that they honor. Huge variety of sock models for running, office, skiing, etc.

@backyard1015 3 года назад

My favorite sock is Balega because of the comfort and support in the arch.

@Elidogz 3 года назад

Injinjis always . It helps separate my toes for splay & prevent from blisters also & i wear diffrent ones for the terrain that im running .other socks make my toes feel cramped together . Injinjis +hokas ❤️

@davidschmill8250 3 года назад

QD: I really like Balega's Blister Resist line of socks; I like the Achilles tendon cushion tab on the back and the high cushion level

@JeremyGiese 3 года назад

Hi Personally I like performance basketball socks for running.(Nikes & Stance) they offer alittle more padding and still get arch “squeeze” drawback would be very hot for longer runs or if the shoe is narrow...the socks fills up space so can feel suffocating.

@cliftonmadden1992 3 года назад

QD: Trail - Smartwool b/c they do not loose loft when wet. I can run through a stream and not worry about blisters. I wear them all year; they make summer and winter weights. For Road, I do not really have a favorite but the Nike socks, which are very reasonably priced (pack of 3 for $10-$12), are very good. I also have Smartwool, Belaga and Bombas road running socks.

@sdean8723 3 года назад

Feetures high performance cushion are the only socks I will run in for the rest of my life. Strong statement I know. That’s how great they are

@bd56430 3 года назад

I really enjoy those injinji toe socks. I understand they might not be for everyone, but for me they've really helped with blisters between my toes that I used to struggle with on longer runs/workouts.

@dudeinthecrowd 3 года назад

I m writing this comment before watching the video. I have been running at an amateur level for around 6 years now. I never bought and used special running socks. I wear normal socks every day for running as well. My approach is as simple as ABC - a pair of socks I put on is 1-1,5 USD. No problems at all with wearing those ones.

@nathanlangfitt 3 года назад

QD: Feetures Merino 10. They're just so comfortable, and they hold up for a long time.

@ricodelavega4511 3 года назад

QD: tommy John ankle high socks. I like them because they're not too thick and padded where it needs to be, under the toes and heel, and because they're frequently sold as Marshalls/tj maxx for cheaps. You also find Stance socks at these discount stores, all the other brands you mention, never seen them there.

@ckokomo808 3 года назад

I’ve been rocking the injinji socks for a few years. There’s a few kinds with different thickness that I use for trail running. The toe sock is kinda weird but they have helped wick sweat away from my individual toes preventing blisters and rubbing. In winter, at least when I lived somewhere where it was REALLY cold (15 and below), to shifted to Balegas. Kinda like running with mittens va gloves, the individual toe parts don’t keep the heat in as well. I love the support of the sock along with the cushion.

@michelleharnett1351 3 года назад

Smartwool PHD ankle socks - woolly enough for frosty mornings (we don't get snow), haven;t tried them in summer yet but have been okay in the New Zealand spring so far and they don;t slip around in my Hokas.

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 3 года назад

Compression sleeves to recommend: Rockay is a premium Danish brand of compression sleeves and socks of all types (including wool), super high quality, lifetime guarantee, many products made from recycled materials. To me, well worth paying more for the calf sleeves I purchased. I recommend the natural color option which is called Ecowhite, but it’s really a gray-silver shade with black highlights. It’s even nicer and softer than the albeit fun colors. At least it goes with everything, too and the fit was a little less intense which I preferred as well. Their customer service is also superb. I made friends with the nice gal from Finland in the process ;)

@Wesz808 3 года назад

QD: Compress Sport socks for running and long distance hiking. Never had blisters, don't get stuff in my socks and so on. For short distances I really don't care that much. As long as it fits tight and isn't too tick. Have some Stance socks that keep well for a long time.

@bradwigs75 3 года назад

QD: My favorite running sock company is Smartwool, however Feetures is one of my favorites as well. Yes, I wear Smartwool for the winter. But they have low cut socks as well I like to wear on summer runs. Low cut Feetures are my favorite for workouts and racing fast.

@destroybo2000 3 года назад

I honestly just like regular high Nike socks. I never get blisters

@dustinsanford6045 3 года назад

I was gifted and then quickly bought another pair of smartwool PhD ankle socks in 2015. I'm still running in them. A month ago I got a pair of pearl izumi socks from Ross for $6 and they might be my new favorite. Wishing I would have bought them all

@tanjamuller3664 3 года назад

I'm a sucker for Drymax socks. I've had almost no blisters since switching to them over a year ago. I love their light trail socks, their cold weather socks, and their Sharman max protection socks, which are my go-to for race day. One pair of those and one pair of EVO Soeedgoats were all I needed for 100 miles at Grindstone.

@lukeh5943 3 года назад

@LoneRiderz 3 года назад

Yes... Nice socks are probably more important to me than fancy shorts or running tops. They don't necessarily have to be expensive but I found those that are left and right specific to be more comfortable.

@jgvids2242 3 года назад

CEP Compression.. Amazing Quality. I lost a shoe in the first lap (I got flat-tired) in the mile at the Arcadia Invitational and the sock didn’t even rip!

@ReimerKeith 3 года назад

I like Fitsok - good quality socks made in North Carolina.

@ianadams1654 3 года назад

QD: I exclusively run in Feetures for warm weather. To me they work in every shoe I've worn them with, they don't slide around and I've never had any problems with blisters. Any time I try another brand, Balega being one I've had, I feel like they are often a lot more slick in my shoes and I end up never wearing them and sticking to the Feetures

@christinemetcalfe298 3 года назад

I love Injinji socks. I love that my toes have room to splay and I have never had to worry about blisters. My second favorite is probably is probably Stance Feel 360. Crazy comfy in any weather. Can't forget Pro Compression for recovery!

@traildawg4242 3 года назад

QD: for road - Swiftwick ( Thin) and Balega (cushion & support) For trails - DryMax & Smartwool socks

@arlandirkson6024 3 года назад

QD: I've had great luck with Bolega this summer and fall so far. Like how soft and cushiony they are, and the temperature control is very effective. Been using their short length on the road and ankle length on trails, but will get some crew for this winter.

@chrisdick726 3 года назад

QD. I prefer Smart Wool for winter running as well but don’t mind them in summer as well on trail. I find they dry quickly if I get a booter crossing a creek.

@1519Spring 3 года назад

"Matrix" thoughts -- too many variables for a 2-D graph, but you could do a graph of each of the following variables. It would need to be a sock "model" not brand on the graph, though, as most sock brands sell a range of models that span across many categories: thickness (high for winter/ low for summer), racing vs. training, height (low (below ankle)/ medium (just above ankle (aka 1/4- height))/ high (crew/calf), materials (natural vs. synthetic), special features (toe socks, arch support, compression, grip aids, etc). Universe is too large for your work to be comprehensive - will end up being your thoughts on those socks you've run in, not a complete analysis of the "market," but that still has value.

@CoreySenderson 3 года назад

QD: Smartwool or injinjii

@TrailrunnerTroy 3 года назад

Great Vlog! Compressport are my go-to compression socks and (paired with Injinji) sleeves for ultras. For recovery, however, strongly recommend OS1st - hospital-grade compression for maximum relief.

@cb4atl 3 года назад

QD: Swiftwick by a country mile. I think if more people became aware of/tried them, there wouldn't even need to be discussions like this. XOSkin is good as well but they just have zero durability.

@Tony-lk1bh 3 года назад

Under armour has some great padded socks that are great for people that want added support instead of super thin running socks. I use the ua phenom.

@bennybrenneman2336 3 года назад

QD: my favorite running sock would be injinji, because they allow my toes to splay and be free. It is the only sock that I wear now because I’ve gotten so comfortable with them. FYI, they do take some time to get use to.

@Judesster 3 года назад

QD: my favorite sock company for running is Stance. They are stylish, durable and comfortable. With that said, I haven’t compared it to any other company so I don’t know if my choice counts. I don’t trail run but for hiking I use Darn Tough. The other company I hear a lot of good things about is called Feetures.

@tombargerstock3419 3 года назад

My favorite socks are Smartwool, for general training for both road and trail. For racing, Xoskins have become my choice.

@shawfield 3 года назад

Twin skin socks makes most sense for anti blisters on hot days when water gets splashed on the feet at drink stations. But I'd rather wear no socks for road races, with a good covering of Vaseline on the feet for anti blisters. So much more comfortable

@30m3 3 года назад

My go to are Smartwool. Seriously amazing socks. They make my running/hiking shoes feel 5 x more comfortable. They just keep my feet feeling comfy. I live in relatively cold climate though.

@ksrowland 3 года назад

I have been doing my own sock testing and have picked up a ton of different brands in the search for the best liteweight, breathable, blister free road running summer socks. Balega, Injinji, Feetures, coolmax, darn tough were all pretty good but top three have been Steigen, Swiftwick Aspire One and the top pick so far goes to Drymax Run HyperThin Mini Crew Socks. You have given me a couple new ones to try. Thanks

@davidgross7972 3 года назад

QD: I like Wright Socks for long trail runs or races. They are a double layer so can be warmer in summer but really work to prevent blisters. They make thin ones for summer and medium to thick for winter. For regular training runs I usually just wear the cheap bulk pack or CopperToe ankle socks.

@thomasmacaggg1137 3 года назад

I race in Nike basketball socks. Idk why, but they feel good to me and the thicker sock gives good cusion

@nizam_mr 3 года назад

Im getting good result with Decathlon Kiprun 5finger socks for road running 👍. 0 blisters It has some compression at certain area too, although a lil thicc

@hopesteadplanting8468 3 года назад

Balega is my favorite sock for running/triathlon. I like the support in the arch. The design of the cuff is high enough that it doesn’t rub my ankle. However, they are still very low cut.

@SoutheastSam3 3 года назад

QD: Injini (slow to put on but worth it) for racing and wider fitting shoes, Swiftwick for the compression (and local to TN), Darn Tough for trails and hiking.

@reneegale9167 3 года назад

You saved my toes - I have tried everything to keep from getting sore toes where sometimes my toenails even fall off. Heard about those Solomon grip socks in this video, bought a pair and they work awesome....if they should get holes, small price to pay for me in replacement cost, worth it to not have super sore toes.

@DMcC123 3 года назад

In 2019 I bought a bunch of Injinji socks to avoid getting blisters. Courtney Dauwalter wears them for 100 milers, so I thought they must be good. Over time, on the days I wore "regular" socks (mostly Defeet) I realized that they were actually more comfortable and caused me fewer issues on long runs. So in 2020 I haven't pulled out the Injinji's very often.

@JonsConsciousLife 3 года назад

I currently have 2 sets (of a few pairs each) of running socks. Saucony socks I have are a bit thicker with a nice little strip of compression around the mid-foot. The others, “Elite” (some store brand? Can’t remember), are a very thin sock, but have a small amount of extra around the arch and with a little compression around the mid foot as well. Both are really good and durable, and I choose with pair depending on temperature.

@chrisphelps7473 3 года назад

QOTD: Favorite running sock company is Xoskin, bar none. Their Xotoes toe socks for trail running are so comfortable and can be worn multiple times without washing (and actually not be gross, which is hard to do for running socks). Even more importantly, I’ve had zero blisters wearing Xotoes. Used to get blisters regularly in other socks, but Xoskin fixed this for me.

@amadotanguma573 3 года назад

Injinji primarily in 60 and below weather. Compressport (thin) in warmer weather.

@florianhermans8412 3 года назад

QD: I really like the Stox Energy Socks compression socks. It’s a company based in the Netherlands, they have both running and recovery socks.

@GTE_Channel 2 года назад

I like them as well

@aaronscott2256 3 года назад

QD: I’ve been wearing nothing but Injinji for the last 2 years. No blisters since I started using them. Love the mini crew length for daily runs, and the crew length for trail runs My wife loves her Balega’s

@NicolasVerschoren 3 года назад

QD: Surprised that no one mentioned Falke. Seth if you want total grip within your shoe, I highly recommend the Falke 4 Grip. Stance I like for eveyday training, as well as Kalenji (from Decathlon, I know, but don't judge unless you've tried). Also love 2XU Vectr for compression socks.

@djp3525 3 года назад

QD: my local running store primarily carries Balega. So I haven’t run in anything else. I’m open to all companies. I totally forgot that I own a pair of Injinii! Now the quest will be to find them today.

@motorcityjudy 3 года назад

Thirty48 performance compression. I can't even remember how I found them but it's all I wear currently. I think I'm going to try a couple of the ones you mention, though. I also love Bombas. I can't do anything too cushiony-my feet slide around.

@geertjanvanaalten 3 года назад

Thanks for the video Seth Qd: Longrun Injinji because of blisters. Race day Falke RU4 because of breathability All other Odlo because of durability.

@gosekinz 3 года назад

QoD: Tabio - they just make the best running socks - summer winter | racing / training | think Injiji but with more sports science - they have rubberised grip pads on the sole - anti slip - they have ventilation and support .. Doesn't look like you get all of the models in the US .. but here is their US site tabiousa.com/collections/mens-sports-socks

@briangrissom3203 3 года назад

QD: Injiji! For ultras, they can’t be beat. I always had issues with blisters over the 30 mile mark in long runs, but after switching socks to injiji...haven’t had one since:)

@IVfluids1 3 года назад

I've tried Wrightsock, Wigwam, Balega. My first 16 weeks marathon training schedule in those socks and the marathon itself left me with losing a toenail, black & blue toe nails, multiple toe tip blisters. I resorted to taping up the tips of my toes for my next marathon training schedule with white medical tape over foamy type tape. That pretty much took care of my issues, but at the expense of about half hour prep just to do a long run. So, it made sense to try Injinji as i was wrapping my toes up individually in a sock instead. I have very rarely gotten a blister after using those socks. I went through last years marathon schedule with no hardly a blister and no black & blue nails; the marathon I had one blister. I went through this whole last marathon training schedule with no blisters or black & blue toenails; I did get one black & blue toenail from this last marathon, but i chalk that up to harder effort and rolling hills. I am sold on Injinji.

@StefanWbkk 3 года назад

I wear finger socks on my long runs. They are very comfortable. Your toes don't feel squashed. Just a bit of a pain to put them on before the run as you have to wiggle your toes a lot to make them fit

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 3 года назад

Smartwool PhD Run ultralight, DarnTough (made in the USA), Balega. Balega because of the soft fabric and supportive fit; Smartwool and Darn Tough being merino wool which have qualities already discussed here. Fox River sounds intriguing as another merino option (never heard of it till now!). I attributed the single time I ever had a blister on a toe to not having my shoe locked in around my foot enough on the one marathon I did (2019, lots of downhill) but it may have been the Lululemon socks I wore-probably not the best choice for that situation.The socks I use in training and racing will always be dictated by which shoes I’m wearing-due to how roomy or snug that pair of shoes is, just for starters. And that’s an ever-evolving set up of options.

@mdsmith1019 2 года назад

I've tried Feetures, Balega, and most recently Bombas. Feetures don't work for me (picks up a lot of lint and generally just...meh). Balegas are really good but they seem to shrink after washing. Not the end of the world but not ideal. I recently stumbled onto Bombas and those are my new go-to socks for running. They're not as plush as Balega but for extra wide feet they're so much roomier. I never really noticed that my other socks were so tight until trying on Bombas. So Bombas for me - QD...a year later (but better than never). I picked up a few pairs of Saucony socks because they were super cheap snd I like them for how soft and plushy they are (and have stayed through a few washes). Value choice.

@cubsrock2110 3 года назад

QD: I'm not a one-brand guy but Balega is the only brand I buy my socks from! I recommend them to everyone since they're super comfy in general, but also amazingly durable. I have a nice collection of around 30 pairs over the past 10 years and I honestly think I've thrown away two pairs due to holes or general wear. They're also on my feet everyday, for running and leisure.

@mycows 3 года назад

QD: Wrightsock double layer anti-blister socks... They have been around for a long time.

@constancehenderson8883 3 года назад

Still way too new to running to have a strong opinion but Im loving my Saucony Infernos for my road runs. No slippage and the toe seem is flawlessly flat and unnoticeable.

@tsubakichan 3 года назад

QD: Stance. They have my favorite balance of thin material + protection. Not as stylish as Smartwool, but I find Smartwool material a little too thick and less flexible for my tastes.

@ashleytalkington4474 3 года назад

QD: balega because of the support around your foot and aquellis tendon area.

@bradleybookman8833 3 года назад

I haven’t bought “running” socks but I like running in the Darn Tough Jarvis work socks quite a lot. Not the best sock for very hot weather nor if your shoes fit tight. Better in hot weather with more breathable shoes (yeah I know, duhhh) but they’re fantastic here in Charleston doing 12s in boots machining so I’m gonna use my $26/pair socks for EVERYTHING I can. They’ve got a lifetime, no bullshit warranty so might as well.

@PhillipSinclair 3 года назад

I tend to prefer sox that are soft and medium thickness. I like the softness and still get most of my cushioning from my shoes. Usually some kind of polyester blend, but anything that's soft to the touch.

QD: I never thought about running socks a few years back, bought the cheapest ones from Puma or any kind of retailer like Aldi, Target etc and always ended up having some blisters here and there. Tried the injinjis and never went back. Their thin socks are amazing for summer and their thick ultra socks are great for winter or trail running. Everytime I put them on it feels strange but then 1 min into the run, they feel like a second skin

QD: Hilly socks! Only ever used them for all types of running Marathon fresh for shorter stuff and ultra socks for longer stuff in the mountains. Although I have used both for both scenarios too and both perform well
