When jogging, it's worth investing in socks, as an unpleasant feeling in your feet can significantly reduce your motivation to jog. How to choose the right socks for jogging?
A good running sock doesn't rub, doesn't roll up, stays dry, is durable and is easy to put on. For more demanding runners, compression can help prevent cramps, among other things.
So which socks should you buy?
Read a long-distance runner's review of Hukkasukka's merino wool socks:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A few long loops thrown on with merino wool socks:
+ there will be no friction at all
+ the foot stays cool throughout the run (which was a surprise to me as I thought merino wool was only for winter use)
+ feet stay dry
+ doesn't even smell like sweat
+ really comfortable when running
+ long shaft, gives a bit of a compression sock feel
- fell asleep for a while, the duration will be determined later
Throwing on the best running socks I've ever tried.

Merino wool socks
The Hukkasuka reinforced merino wool sock fits snugly and is seamless, so you avoid chafing and your feet will feel comfortable throughout your run.
It is reinforced with terry cloth on the sole and heel, so your step is soft and the sock will last longer. The shaft is high and tight, which is an advantage when running.
Merino wool wicks moisture effectively and keeps the foot warm in winter and cool in summer.
Merino wool works all year round, even though it is wool, because it breathes and wicks moisture excellently.
We also recommend Merino wool for tougher use - for example, in wetter conditions or cold weather. Or if you're looking for a slightly firmer foot feel than our soft bamboo socks. However, it also works great for year-round use.

Reinforced bamboo sock
The Hukkasuka bamboo sock shares many features with the merino wool sock: it fits snugly on the foot, is reinforced with terry cloth, has a seamless feel, and the material breathes.
The difference is a slightly shorter and looser shaft and of course a different material, which feels silkier compared to merino wool.
Bamboo is an excellent material for jogging: it wicks moisture away from the foot effectively, is warm in winter and cool in summer, and feels silky soft on the skin.
The sock's shaft is a normal length, so it is also suitable for winter jogging.
This sock is a great choice for both everyday wear and sports.
