The 15 Best Running Socks, According to Runners

Nike Spark Lightweight Running Socks ($20)

If you can't stand socks with thick fabric or toe seams, you won't be disappointed by the ultra-lightweight nature of these Nike running socks. Thinner fabric usually means less support, but Nike makes up for it with cushioning around the ankles and footbed as well as a compressive band around the arches.

What reviewers say: "These are excellent socks for working out, especially running. Very lightweight, feels like you're barefoot, and the compression is just right in my opinion. Feels very snug at all times."
