Summer Sock Style Guide

Summer Sock Style Guide

Summer is here. Are your feet sweating yet? If you need help keeping your cool when things get hot, it’s probably time to get your hands on some new socks. That’s right—even though you’ll probably spend most of the season in sandals, flip-flops, and slip-ons, you still need socks for activities like running, hiking, cycling, golfing, and even hanging out around the house. This summer sock style guide will help you choose the right socks for every summer activity, ensuring breathability, comfort, and odor resistance.

Running Socks for Summertime

If you love getting out and being active in the warm weather, running might be your activity of choice. People tend to focus on finding the right running shoes, but comfortable, densely knit, moisture-wicking socks are also crucial. For off road running, make sure you have some trail running socks too.

Socks for Hiking this Summer

Nothing ruins a mountain adventure faster than sore, blistering feet. To ensure you can easily make it up the trail and back, wear socks that will keep your feet in peak condition (pun intended). Even though it’s summertime, hiking can send you into cooler, more rugged conditions, so opt for quarter, mini crew, or crew length socks. A seamless toe is also essential to avoid irritation while traversing rough terrain.

Cycling Summer Socks

Whether you’re an avid cyclist or simply enjoy the occasional bike ride, wearing the right socks can make all the difference. The best cycling socks are colorful, comfortable, and cleverly constructed to help you keep calm and pedal on. Light cushioning provides the ideal balance between impact protection and coolness on summertime rides.

Socks to Wear When Golfing in the Summer

Whether you’re walking across the green or riding in a golf cart, foot comfort begins with the right socks. Choose a pair with targeted compression and anatomical design to ensure a comfortable, custom-like fit that helps you keep your head in the game. Maximum cushioning is an option to consider for added impact protection as you tee off.

Summertime Socks for Around the House

If you struggle with cold, clammy feet in the summertime, going barefoot may not be the most comfortable option. That’s why you should pick light, thin, moisture-wicking socks to wear at home. Also, look for targeted compression that supports your arches nearly as effectively as any shoe. Bright patterns and designs are always a fun way to show a little personality as well.
