The 15 Best Running Socks, According to Runners

Thorlo Maximum Cushion Running Socks, 3-Pack ($43)

Long-distance runs can be strenuous on the joints and bones, but fortunately, these Thorlo running socks are designed for just that. Due to the shock-absorbing, heavyweight padding, these socks allow you to run mile after mile while keeping the impact to a minimum.

What reviewers say: "The fat pads on the balls of my feet are worn off so I really need the shock-absorbing cushion of the Thorlo socks. They are the most comfortable socks I have ever worn and all I wear."
