Sports Socks

Sports socks length guide

Our sports socks come in anklet, socklet and crew length sizes.

Socklet

The socklet size of is the shortest being cut low below the ankle. As a result this makes them great as a trainer liner for running shoes or trainers.

Anklet

Crew length

Crew length sports socks are higher, covering more or your lower leg. However, they are not as long as calf length running socks.

Sizing information

Choose the same size sock as your foot size. However, if you have a narrow fitting (D or less for men, B or less for women), or are on the border between sizes then you should go down a size. The sock should be a snug fit with not wrinkles.

Double layer or single layer?

1000 Mile is famous for its double layer, anti-blister system. The first Original 1000 Mile sports socks are a sock within a sock, like a twin-skin sock.

The inner layer stays with the foot as the outer layer moves with the shoe, as a result, eliminating friction on the skin and protecting your feet from blisters. 1000 mile socks are designed with the purpose of protecting not just athletes but also people with serious health issues like diabetes where foot health is essential.

Padded socks

The Fusion anklet sport sock combines the comfort and protection of a padded sock with the 1000 Mile Double Layer System. As a result, friction reduces protecting you from blisters.

The padded zone on the heel, not only helps to protect the Achilles tendon but extends around the ankle to the front to protect the foot. As a result, reducing any discomfort caused by footwear.

Additionally, padding on the toe and ball of foot areas cover known trouble spots for runners and walkers. In other words, this gives extra protection whatever the activity, making these the ultimate comfort in padded running socks.
