Find Socks That Suit Your Feet and Footwear

The right socks should fit securely without bunching, squeezing your toes or making your shoes feel tight. Compare cushioning, seam construction, sock height and sizing alongside the activity you have in mind.

Running and Performance Socks

For running, walking and sport, look for a secure heel fit, moisture-managing fabric and a cushioning level that suits your shoes.

Our range includes performance styles from Lightfeet and Balega. Features vary between models, so check the individual listing for cushioning, materials and toe-seam construction.

Cushioned Socks for Work and Everyday Wear

Cushioning beneath the heel and forefoot can add comfort inside work shoes and boots. However, thicker socks also take up more room.

If your footwear is close-fitting, compare lower-bulk options rather than automatically choosing the thickest sock. Check that your toes still have room to move.

Wide-Fit Socks

Wide-fit socks offer a more accommodating shape than standard-width styles. Our OS1st WP4 Wide options are worth comparing if conventional socks feel too restrictive across the foot.

Use the model’s size guide rather than simply ordering a longer sock to gain width. A larger shoe-size range may leave excess fabric around the toes.

Diabetic Socks and Options for Sensitive Feet

When comparing diabetic socks, look at the actual features: toe seams, cuff construction, cushioning, fabric and fit.

Diabetic socks and compression socks serve different purposes. Do not assume a sock provides compression or is suitable for every person with diabetes because of its name.

Compression Socks and Foot Sleeves

Compression products vary in coverage and intended use. A foot sleeve, plantar fasciitis sock and graduated travel sock are different designs.

Choose using the individual product’s measurement guide and intended purpose. Browse our compression socks and sleeves or explore our plantar fasciitis socks.

Travel Socks

Compare travel socks by their stated compression level, length and sizing requirements. Check whether measurements beyond shoe size are needed.

Visit our travel socks collection for the available options and individual fitting instructions.

Silver Socks

Our silver socks range includes performance styles from Balega. Compare the stated silver technology alongside moisture management, cushioning and fit.

Silver content does not make a sock a treatment for a skin or nail infection. Browse our silver socks collection to compare styles.

Check Size, Height and Care Instructions

Sizing varies between brands. Use the chart on each product page and check whether it refers to US, UK or another sizing system.

Choose a sock height that works with your footwear collar. Follow washing and drying instructions to help preserve fit, fabric and elasticity.

FAQs

Got a question? We are here to answer

How do I choose the right socks?
Start with your footwear and activity. Compare the sock’s size, cushioning, height, seams and materials. It should sit securely without wrinkling, squeezing your toes or making your shoes uncomfortable.
Do running socks make a difference?
Purpose-designed running socks may offer features such as shaped heels, moisture-managing fabrics and targeted cushioning. These can influence comfort, but the best choice depends on fit and your footwear.
Which socks should I choose for work boots?
Look for a secure fit, suitable moisture management and cushioning that leaves enough room inside the boot. Choose a height that protects your skin from the boot collar. Thick socks cannot compensate for boots that are too narrow or poorly fitted.
Are thicker socks always more comfortable?
No. Extra cushioning can be comfortable in roomy footwear, but too much thickness can crowd the toes. Compare the sock and shoe together rather than judging cushioning alone.
What are diabetic socks?
Diabetic socks commonly feature design details intended to minimise rubbing or constriction, such as smooth toe seams and accommodating cuffs.
What is the difference between diabetic socks and compression socks?
Diabetic socks generally prioritise comfortable fit and reduced irritation. Compression socks apply a stated level or pattern of pressure. If you have diabetes, poor circulation or reduced sensation, ask your treating clinician which type is appropriate.
Should I choose wide socks or a larger size?
Use a wide-fit style when extra width is needed, following its sizing chart. Simply choosing a longer size can leave loose fabric at the toes and may not provide the right fit.
How should I wash my socks?
Follow the care label for the individual model. Washing temperature, tumble drying and fabric-softener recommendations vary, especially for compression products and technical fabrics.
Can I use any compression sock for flying?
Compression socks vary in coverage and support, so check that the particular style is suitable for travel. Explore our travel socks collection and follow the individual product’s sizing guide. Foot sleeves and plantar fasciitis socks serve a different purpose from graduated travel socks. If you’re unsure which compression level is appropriate, ask your treating health professional.
Are all the socks in this collection seamless?
No single feature applies to every style. Some products have seamless construction or smooth, low-profile toe seams. Check the individual description if seam sensitivity is important to you.
Please note: Product features and suitability vary between styles. Follow individual fitting instructions and seek professional advice when choosing socks for a medical condition.
