Higher State Freedom Lite Trainer Socks (6 Pack)

Product Information

The idea is that the inner layer stays with your skin while the outer layer moves with your shoe to prevent any rubbing directly on your skin. They feel comfortable over runs of any length—I’ve used them for a 51km run, as well as shorter, faster runs—and they never feel overbearingly tight or hot. Enough cushion to be happy on roads / firm trails for miles, and while the grip isn't quite as agressive as I'd like, it does well enough in anything short of full on fell conditions.

Made from breathable fabrics, the mid-foot grips to hold the sock in place and the high tab on the back protects against blisters. And it’s fair to say that the Pendle Way delivered on all its terrain promises with several long mudbaths to negotiate and then, once the rain set in, slippery stones in both the forest and coming down from Pendle Hill in addition to the mixed terrain on the ascent.We have graded the fit of all our shoes from 1 to 5 to make it easy for you to find the perfect fitting shoe. In 2017, he ran in 285 different pairs of shoes, including a streak of 257 days wearing a different model. Sure, you could safely make it through a three-mile recovery jog in running socks that came from a 12-pack, but on hot or wet days you’ll find cotton absorbs an incredible amount of water and easily causes blisters. I’ve now worn the Higher State Freedom socks on several runs, and they’ve quickly become one of my favourite pairs of socks for everyday running/walking.

It’s just padded enough that it doesn’t feel bulky inside a slim-fitting race shoe, and the compressive arch band feels snug and secure around the midfoot. Now, the Elite line is built with Tencel fibers and has a very high 200-needle thread count for that same comfortable fit without the sliding. These Freedom socks are made from a blend of nylon, polyester, and spandex, which makes them stretchy and comfortable.The socks are well padded around the toes and heel, with flat seam finishes helping to ensure that there is no chafing and a midfoot band holding them in position, which also helps reduce the risk of rubbing.
