    Socks for running in winter

    Socks for winter running - comfortable models available in the shop SportanoWhile most runners pay attention to the right clothing and footwear for winter running, they often neglect the role of socks in their kit. However, socks play a key role in protecting our feet from the cold, moisture and abrasions. Choosing the right socks can make a significant difference to the comfort and quality of your workout in colder weather.Materials commonly used in running socks winterWhen talking about running socks for winter, a key factor in determining comfort and functionality is the material they are made from. Here are some of the most commonly used materials and their main features and benefits: Merino wool: this natural non-wool is one of the most sought-after materials in winter socks. Merino wool is excellent at insulating heat while allowing the skin to breathe. Its unique properties allow it to wick away moisture, keeping feet dry and warm. In addition, merino wool has natural antibacterial properties, which minimises the formation of unpleasant odours. Polyester: this synthetic fibre is known for its moisture-wicking properties. Polyester socks dry quickly, which is key if your feet get wet from snow or sweat. Polyester is also abrasion resistant, which prolongs the life of the socks. Nylon: is often mixed with other materials in sports socks because of its strength and flexibility. Nylon can increase the abrasion resistance of socks, especially in high pressure areas such as heels and toes. Elastane (also known as spandex or lycra): this is a high elasticity material that is often added to sports socks to provide a better fit and maintain shape. Elasticity is key to comfort and preventing the socks from shifting while running. Coolmax: is a specially designed polyester fibre that stands out for its exceptional moisture-wicking ability. Socks with Coolmax are particularly recommended for runners who tend to sweat excessively, even on colder days. When choosing socks for winter running, it is worth paying attention to the combination of materials that will provide optimal thermal properties, moisture wicking and fit comfort. The right material can make a significant difference to the quality of your workout, especially in harsh winter conditions.Thermal function and moisture wicking: how does it works?Understanding how the thermal and moisture-wicking functions of socks work is key to choosing the best product for individual needs. Thermal functions: thermal socks are designed to insulate heat, keeping the temperature of the feet at the right level, regardless of external conditions. Thermal properties come from the construction of the material and its structure. For example, merino wool has natural air pockets that trap heat and act as an insulator. In contrast, synthetic fibres such as polyester can be designed to create an insulating layer between the skin and the cold environment. Moisture wicking: this is a key feature designed to counteract the build-up of sweat and moisture around the feet. When feet remain wet, the risk of corns and blisters increases. Materials such as Coolmax or polyester are designed to attract moisture from the surface of the skin and move it to the outer layer of the material, where it can evaporate quickly. Key features of the ideal winter running socksWhen choosing socks for running in cold conditions, there are a few key features to look out for to ensure optimum comfort and functionality. Thickness and insulation: although thinner socks may offer better moisture wicking, thicker models provide additional thermal insulation. It is important to find the golden mean that suits individual needs. Support and compression: some socks offer extra support in sensitive areas such as the arch of the foot, which can help prevent fatigue. Compression socks can also improve circulation and speed up muscle recovery. Flat seams: seams can cause chafing, so choose socks with flat seams to minimise the risk of irritation. Elasticity: socks should be elastic to fit the foot well, but not too tight so as not to restrict movement. Antibacterial: materials with antimicrobial properties help prevent odours, which is particularly important during prolonged exercise. When choosing the perfect winter running socks, it's worth paying attention to the features listed to ensure comfort, warmth and moisture protection when running in colder conditions.
