Why do you need running socks?

In order to achieve your goals and pursue your ideal run, it is very important to wear the correct footwear that does not put a strain on your legs and knees. The role of ‘socks’ is to protect shoes from pressure and friction and to support the runner’s feet that come into direct contact with them.

For example, cushioning the impact of landing, catching the ground and steeping hard which can absorb the friction that causes sweat.
