Women's Running Socks

A pair in the right size for your running shoes, knitted from a yarn that dries fast. DryStep socks have soft cushioning, arch support and a seamless toe, plus a reinforced heel and toe. Breathable mesh ventilation in the forefoot lets heat out of a running shoe.

Neither. Go by the size of the running shoes you'll wear them in, because a sock that's too big or too small slides around in the shoe and rubs. Both of our sizes show a men's and a women's range, Medium (US M 5-⁠9 / W 6.5-⁠10.5) and Large (US M 9-⁠13 / W 11-⁠14).

For a half marathon, wear a pair you've already tested on long training runs and know feels comfortable. Our moisture-wicking yarn, seamless-style toe and cushioning are designed for comfort, but shoe fit and personal preference matter.

A taller cut. Mid-Crew and Quarter both come up higher than Ankle Tab and cover more of your leg where grit and scrub catch bare skin. If you splash through a creek, COOLMAX dries faster than cotton, bamboo and wool.

Not strictly, though you'll notice the cushioning on a long run on bitumen. Ours have cushioned terry loops under the foot and through the Achilles that soften each stride. Whichever of the three you pick, you get the same cushioning at the thickness of a gym sock.
