Designed with long-distance runners in mind, these unisex socks truly go the extra mile (pun intended). They feature built-in arch support, sweat-wicking material, and anti-odor technology. Plus, they have a little tab on the back to protect your ankle.

I've been a fan of Bombas socks since I first slipped a pair on my feet (now, they make up nearly half of my sock drawer). Still, I reserve my running-specific variety for my toughest run workouts. These socks have just the right amount of cushion, without feeling too thick, along with their signature honeycomb arch support.

If "wool socks" makes you picture itchy-scratchy winter footwear rather than ideal running gear—honestly, same. That is, until I tried Smartwool socks, which are far from uncomfortable. These merino wool socks are ultra-breathable, have strategic ventilation zones, and feature cushioning in all the places where runners need it most (think: ball of the foot and heel).

Swiftwick is a household name among most runners, and for good reason. This style, in particular, is great for a little extra support throughout your run—compression fabric molds to your arches, meant to help minimize fatigue during a workout. This no-show design is a great option for a minimalist feel, but ASPIRE also comes in a wide range of heights.

Socks with a lifetime guarantee? That's exactly what Darn Tough promises for their ultra-durable pairs.

Another great no-show option, these running socks are designed to feel custom for every runner. They also include a tab at the back, to minimize blisters and uncomfortable friction—along with their signature "perfect toe" feature, which is an essentially seamless toe bed. What's more, they're constructed with yarn made from recycled plastic.

Elite Max Cushion No Show Tab, Feetures ($10.80)

For top-notch cushioning, look no further than this sock. It's made with ultra-fine yarn, which helps level up the plush, supportive feel—without getting too bulky. These are great for anyone who wants a little extra impact-resistant protection, for a softer landing through every mile.
