Running Socks

A good sock plays a crucial role in preventing blisters and keeping feet cool and dry. The socks below, from respected brands including Steigen and Sporcks, are designed to not only keep your feet in top shape but also have them looking super stylish.

Running socks aren’t just regular socks with a sporty name, they’re purpose-built for performance.
Brands like Incylence, Sporcks, SHYU, and CEP design them with features runners can benefit from, blending moisture-wicking yarns, strategic cushioning, arch support, and blister prevention. Unlike standard cotton socks that soak up sweat and rub the wrong way, running socks help keep your feet dry, comfortable, and locked in place, kilometre after kilometre. You’ll find thoughtful details like compression zones, ventilated mesh panels, and seamless toes for blister prevention, making a big difference when the kilometres start stacking up. Once you try a real pair of running socks, it’s hard to go back.

As athletes who cherish every trail, road and waterway we train on, Aid Station proudly acknowledges the Wurundjeri and Bunurong People as the Traditional Owners of the land where we lace up our shoes each day. We respect every athlete's journey, and extend this same respect to all First Nations People and Elders across Australia, whose ancient pathways we now follow during races and adventures. We recognise the enduring connection First Nations Peoples have with Country - a relationship that shows the ultimate endurance. At Aid Station, while we help athletes fuel their journeys, we’re equally committed to respecting and preserving the land that sustains us. As proud sponsors of TRIMOB and the IRONMOB Program, we're honoured to support communities who share our passion for endurance sport. We pay respects to Elders past, present and future, celebrating the rich heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples - true endurance experts long before the first marathon was run.
