What is Dri-FIT in these socks?

Dri-FIT is Nike's name for fabric that pulls sweat away from the skin so it evaporates faster. Here it is used in a cotton-rich knit, so it dries less quickly than all-synthetic athletic socks.

How much cushioning do they have?

Cushioning sits at the heel and the forefoot, the two areas that take the most pressure. The rest of the sock is a lighter knit, so it is not a fully padded sock.

What are the socks made of?

67% cotton, 30% polyester and 3% elastane. The cotton gives softness, the polyester adds durability and the elastane provides stretch.

How do I pick the right size?

Sizing runs in bands: S for EU 35–37.5, M for 38–42.5, L for 43–46 and XL for 47–49.5. If you are between bands, the elastane lets the sock stretch, but the larger band gives a looser fit.

Are these good for running?

They work for casual runs and gym work thanks to the heel and forefoot cushioning. Runners who want a thin, fast-drying sock for long distances usually prefer a lighter synthetic sock.
