THE RUNNING SOCK GUIDE

Running socks are often running's poor relations. Because how many runners focus on the quality of the running shoes they're selecting yet seem to care very little when it comes to buying their running socks? A lot! And this is a serious mistake! Why? Because your running socks are in contact with the foot, in direct contact with your skin. Your socks are therefore a major interface that you need to choose carefully, depending on what kind of sport you do.

As pecialists in foot comfort for nearly 50 years, we have developed a whole range of technical running socks with our top athletes. So that these running socks are thin, comfortable, breathable, durable, high-performance and stylish. Marathon, 10 km, training, competition, high, low, winter, summer... In this guide, you're sure to find the right sock for you!

RUN ULTRA - THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNING SOCKS

The ultimate running sock for long distances! Ultra-technical and ultra-breathable, this running sock developed with our elite athletes from Team Sidas-Matryx is aimed at runners in search of comfort and performance, especially if training for a marathon or half-marathon.

In fact, even after 1 hour of running, our Run Ultra sock continues to function as an exoskeleton for your foot to support it and compensate for its fatigue. The goal? So that you don't lose performance over the kilometres. And so that the socks don't get holes in them, as is often the case after 2 or 3 long runs!

Based on innovation, these running socks feature an In & Out construction, i.e. they're threadless, as well as 2 grip strips strategically positioned on the forefoot and midfoot, to avoid any risk of chafing and therefore blisters. Pain is very common in marathon and half-marathon runs. You know, those blisters caused by sweat and moisture that don't go away after several hours of running! Well, with Run Ultra socks, there's no risk of that happening, thanks to our breathable mesh and an anatomical construction designed so that our athletes can hit record times by focusing solely on their run, forgetting about their feet!

The Run Ultra is available as women's running socks and men's running sock, thanks to an array of colours – sometimes bold, always stylish – that make these socks a benchmark in terms of compromise: style, performance and comfort.
