Ankle Socks for Sport

Ankle socks length guide

Our range comes in anklet and socklet lengths.

Socklet

The socklet size of is the shortest. Cut low below the ankle, they are great as a trainer liner for running shoes or trainers.

Anklet

These sports socks cover the ankle but are still very lightweight. Again, ideal for running shoes and trainers.

What size do I need?

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

Double layer ankle socks

1000 Mile is famous for its double layer, anti-blister system. The first Original 1000 Mile Sock is a sock within a sock.

The inner layer stays with the foot as the outer layer moves with the shoe, eliminating friction on the skin and protecting your feet from blisters. 1000 mile running 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.

Fusion range

The mens Fusion anklet sock combines the comfort and protection that comes from a padded sock with the 1000 Mile Double Layer System. As a result, they reduce friction and increase blister protection.

The padded zone on the heel, not only helps to protect the Achilles tendon but has been extended around the ankle to the front. Therefore this protects the foot from any discomfort caused by footwear.

Padding on the toe and ball of foot areas protects known trouble spots for runners and walkers alike. This gives extra protection whatever the activity, making these the ultimate comfort in padded ankle socks.

Ankle socks materials

1000 Mile Socks are made from the following materials:

Tactel

Tactel is soft, light and strong. Ankle socks for sport containing Tactel® fibres are smooth and breathable. During testing it was 20% lighter than most other fibres and dries eight times faster than cotton.

Most of the 1000 Mile double layer socks have a 100% Tactel® inner lining which helps to reduce friction on the skin but also helps keep feet cool and dry during activities.

Merino wool

Merino is one of softest types of wool available and is perfect for regulating body temperature. It provides warmth without overheating the wearer and its moisture wicking properties combined with being slightly moisture repellent allow the wearer to remain dry.
