Advance Performance - the running store for everyone
Running Socks
We stock running socks from brands inclucing Hilly, Thorlo, XSocks, Nike, 1000 Mile and SealSkinz.
Best for blister prevention
While blisters are most often caused by poor fitting or the incorrect style of running shoes, some people's feet are just prone to blisters. Some blisters are caused by rubbing - in which case we would recommend a TWIN SKIN style. Others by excessively sweaty feet - see below.

Best for people with sweaty feet
Your feet contain more sweat glands than any other part of your body. All the shoes we stock are made with highly breathable materials, but if you are prone to sticky feet, a pair of these socks will help keep even the sweatiest feet dry and comfortable.

Best for long distance running
Running long distance puts huge strain on the body. If you are doing lots of running we would obviously recommend as much cushioning from your shoe as possible, combined with any of these socks, for even more protection.
