Balega Ultra Light
$15, Balega.com
Balega’s latest socks are thinner than in the past, but still have extra cushioning in the forefoot and heel. The padded Achilles tab is a signature Balega feature, and keeps the sock in place.
Sock Guy SGX
$13, Sockguy.com
The friction-free SGX socks come in a variety of lengths (no-show to knee-high) and are customizable for your team or club.

SmartWool PhD Running Ultra Light Micro
$14, Smartwool.com
Dedicated SmartWool fans love the wicking properties and soft texture of the merino wool. The added Achilles
tab promotes a
secure fit.
CompressSport
$20, Compressport.com
These Swiss-born socks are most recognized by their funky dots, which are said to have an “acupressure effect” to stimulate blood flow. They also help keep the sock from sliding in the shoe.

Swiftwick Zero
$12, Swiftwick.com
You can choose your length from zero to 12 (based on the inches above the ankle) of this super-soft arch-hugging pair. We love the just-right thickness for long distance racing.
