Recommended running socks
Running socks are ergonomically designed to fit the shape of your legs.
The toe and heel areas are cushioned to help support your movements, and the seams of the product are specially designed to prevent chafing and blisters.
As you can see, running socks have a wide variety of functions, and there are many types , such as thick running socks and compression socks.
Thick running socks can keep your legs warm in cool weather, while compression socks can support recovery by providing comfortable, graduated compression to specific areas.
Your running socks can have a big impact on your athletic performance, just like your running shoes.
How to choose running socks
Running socks are a great item to have when doing sustained exercise such as running or jogging.
However, if you choose the wrong running socks, they can put strain on your feet and reduce comfort. Here we explain how to choose the right running socks.
1. Choose your material
Running socks are made from synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, polyurethane, and cotton. These materials are lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying, so they're recommended because they keep you comfortable while you run, even when you sweat.
2. Choose your size
It is important that your running socks fit snugly around your legs.
If the socks are too big, they may slip off, cause chafing, or simply not provide enough compression.
On the other hand, if the product is too small for your body, it may put pressure on your legs or reduce blood circulation.
To choose the right size, we recommend measuring your leg length and width and referring to the size chart .
3. Check the cushioning
We recommend running socks with high cushioning. Cushioning at the toes and heels will absorb the shock generated when your feet land, reducing the strain on your legs.
4. Check the stitching
Pay attention to the seams of your products. If the seams are too bulging, they can rub against your skin, causing blisters and other skin damage.
5. Choose the type that suits your purpose
There are many different types of running socks available, including thicker socks that will keep your legs warm in cool weather.
Compression socks also help you recover after exercise by providing comfortable pressure to the area you are wearing.

CEP compression technology
CEP compression socks are sports socks developed by medi, a German manufacturer of medical stockings.
CEP is an abbreviation for "Compression Equipment for Professionals" and is a product that was originally developed primarily for professional athletes and training enthusiasts.
CEP compression socks use a unique graduated compression technology that works from the ankle to the calf and knee.
Graduated compression refers to a design in which, for example, in the case of a product worn around the legs, the most pressure is applied at the ankles and gradually becomes less intense towards the knees.
This structure comfortably supports leg movement during exercise and contributes to improved performance.
