Socks

• Socks are an important part of an athlete’s equipment. Nowadays you can find socks made specifically for just about every sport.

• As far as looks go, choices include low-cut or no-show, crew sock, quarter sock or high socks.

• More importantly, look for a sock that fits with the sport your playing, the shoe you are wearing and the type of foot you have.

• Your feet sweat. A lot. Athletic socks made with a synthetic fiber will wisk away moisture and keep your feet dry.

• Additional padding in the heel and forefoot makes your feet comfortable during long activities.

• Articulated arch bands provide a better fit and arch compression zones will add stability.
