Find the right socks for your feet

The socks that suit you best depend on how you use them, the type of shoes you wear and what your feet need. A good sock should fit comfortably without slipping down, bunching up or creating unnecessary pressure. Material, thickness, seams and cuffs all affect how socks feel throughout the day.

Our range includes both women's socks and men's socks in different styles and materials. You'll find everything from classic everyday socks and short ankle socks to longer styles that cover more of the leg.

What is the best material for socks?

The material plays an important role in how socks feel against your skin, how they manage moisture and how warm they are. Different materials have different properties, and the best choice depends on when and how you plan to wear your socks.

• Bamboo socks: Socks made from bamboo viscose often feel soft and smooth against the skin. They're a popular option for anyone who prioritises everyday comfort.
• Cotton socks: Cotton is a soft, familiar material that works well for everyday socks. It's often blended with synthetic fibres to improve fit and durability.
• Wool socks: Wool and merino wool have natural temperature-regulating properties and can help keep your feet comfortably warm on cold days. Wool can also manage moisture, making it suitable for many different activities.
• Lyocell socks: Lyocell is a soft cellulose fibre that can provide a comfortable feel against the skin and is used in socks where comfort and moisture management are important.
• Socks made from performance fabrics: Materials such as polyester and polyamide are often used in sports socks to provide durability, moisture-wicking performance and quick-drying properties.

If your feet get cold easily, wool socks can be a good choice. If you're looking for soft everyday socks, bamboo viscose or cotton may be suitable. For training and physical activity, moisture-wicking performance fabrics can be particularly useful.

Which socks are suitable for sensitive feet?

If you have sensitive feet, small details in the construction of your socks can make a big difference to comfort. Seams that press against your toes, tight cuffs or socks that fit too closely can cause discomfort throughout the day.

If you prefer a softer, more flexible fit, there are different styles with special comfort features.

• Loose-top socks: Feature a softer or more flexible cuff that reduces the feeling of tightness around the ankle or leg.
• Socks with flat seams: Have a toe finish designed to reduce the risk of seams pressing or rubbing against your toes.
• Diabetic socks: Are designed with a focus on comfort and a gentle fit for sensitive feet. Features vary between different styles.

Choose socks that sit smoothly against your feet without bunching up. Getting the right size is important even when choosing styles with looser cuffs or extra-soft seams.

What different types of socks are available?

Socks come in a variety of lengths and designs. The best style depends on the shoes you wear, the season and how much of your foot or leg you want covered.

• Short socks and ankle socks: Work well with trainers and low-cut shoes, especially when you prefer a shorter sock length.
• Everyday socks: A versatile option for work, leisure and daily wear.
• Knee-high socks: Have a longer leg that covers the lower leg and can be worn under boots or whenever you want extra coverage.
• Warm socks: Available in different materials and thicknesses for anyone who wants to keep their feet comfortably warm on cooler days.

For the best comfort, it's important to match the thickness of your socks to your shoes. A thick sock can make an already snug shoe feel too tight, while a sock that's too large can bunch up and create friction.

Socks for sports, training and hiking

During physical activity, it's especially important that your socks stay securely in place and work well with your shoes. Quick movements, repeated steps and moisture can affect comfort, particularly during longer training sessions or walks.

Sports socks are often made from performance fabrics with a focus on moisture management, breathability and a flexible fit. Depending on the activity, styles are available in different thicknesses and lengths, with reinforcement in high-wear areas.

For longer walks and hikes, hiking socks can be a good option. They're often designed to work with hiking shoes or boots and may feature extra cushioning underfoot and reinforced heels and toes. Many styles contain wool or performance fabrics that help manage moisture during activity.

Whether you're training, running or hiking, it's important to choose socks that suit both the activity and the fit of your shoes.

What are the best socks for everyday wear and work?

For everyday use and long working days, it's important to have socks that stay comfortable for hours. Soft materials, a flexible fit and cuffs that don't feel unnecessarily tight can contribute to greater comfort throughout the day.

If you spend a lot of time walking or standing, it can be helpful to choose socks that stay securely in place and work well with your work shoes. If your feet tend to get warm, moisture-wicking materials can be a good option, while wool socks may be more suitable in cold environments.

How do you choose the right sock size?

Choosing the right size is essential for a comfortable fit. Socks that are too small can feel tight around the toes and feet, while socks that are too large can slip, twist or bunch up inside your shoes.

Use your shoe size as a starting point and check the size information for the style you're interested in. Keep in mind that different materials and knitting techniques can affect how stretchy and flexible the socks feel.

If you have wide feet, sensitive toes or prefer a looser fit, it may be worth choosing styles specifically designed for those needs.
