These are the best running socks I’m actually using in 2026 — pulled straight from my sock drawers! In this video, I break down standout picks from brands like Smartwool, Jogology, Sidas, Darn Tough, CEP, Injinji, Creepers and Compressport. Which features are important, and can running socks greatly vary your everyday running experience? Which socks work best for which type of shoe? Also don’t miss – Hoka ORA Primo EXO Mules(?) or is it slides (?) for your cold weather backyard comfort!

I recently tried Odlo socks and can really recommend them for price-quality value!
That smartwool targeted cushion is one of the very few sock models in my sock drawer. I have 12 pair of them and just rotate through them. (Bought a bunch when i found them on a great deal.) I’m sure socks are like shoes and some work better from some than others, but this sock is bulletproof for me.
When first introduced to running Smartwool PHd was the first sock recommended to me, been a fan ever since ! Great informative video as always !
Check out XO Skin socks.
Hi Mike,
I’ve been looking at getting some Sidas socks and having a hard time determining if the standard anatomical run crew sock is the same height as their comfort model. I’m a crew height sock guy.
Would be great if you could help us out with this. Thanks and love your work!
