It can be hard to know where to start when looking at buying new running socks. What material should they be made of? How long should they be? Why do some companies make socks out of metal…?!
Join The Running Channel’s Anna and Andy as they take a look at some of the best, comfiest, and most technically-advanced running socks that you can buy at the moment.
↓↓ What’s your favourite pair of running socks? Have you been inspired to buy a couple of new pairs? Are there any amazing socks that we’ve left out? We want to hear from you in the comments below! ↓↓

Azengear make awesome socks! They are really good for running.
ive watched alot of sock videos and never seen compressport socks, socks with pressure dots. ive found some off this video ive ordered however.
All this sounds very scripted, Is there any sock that isnt from anglo world?
This is the kind of content I miss from the channel. Genuinely useful info, not a million sponsor interuptions and engaging hosts in Andy (with hair!) and Anna.
Occasionally I come back to the channel and wonder why I unsubbed, then I realise than every new video is essentially the same, formulaic uninteresting Top Gearesque ‘challenge’ garbage and/or so full of advertising that it’s difficult to discern how seriously to take the advice.
