From crew socks to ankle socks, each of these foot coverings has its own special purpose. It’s easy to think that just because they’re hidden in shoes most of the time that they’re not important. However, the right pair of socks keep your feet healthy, comfortable, and fresh for longer. Both women’s and men’s socks need to be durable and functional. Socks from The North Face are always trending and on everyone’s bestseller list for a reason.

The right socks to give you the right steps

Every outdoorsy person needs athletic socks that suit the type of activity they’re interested in. Running socks with moisture-wicking technology and arch support is a must when you want to complete those steps. If climbing or trekking is on the agenda, pick compression socks with plenty of cushioning. Sports socks with moisture control properties and sweat-wicking features are required. To protect more of your leg, choose socks that are knee-high or hiking socks with full coverage. These protect your legs and keep your feet from getting blisters. Cushion socks go great with sneakers and boots alike. 

Socks that do all the work

Unisex cotton socks are always on-trend. Choose socks that fit snugly around the foot for full support. Extra material will only add to the discomfort between and under your toes and cause friction. Men and women should pick merino wool socks for cold weather and thin socks for light-impact activity.

Choose the sock that goes the extra mile

When it comes to styling, you're spoilt for choice. If showing off your ankles is of top priority, then pick discreet no-show socks. Liner socks and very low-cut socks put all the focus on your ankles and shoes. If dress socks are more your thing, then you need them to be stylish and durable in every weather. Formal socks should look good and keep you cool when it’s warm and keep your feet warm when you’re cold. Pair them with a shirt or t-shirt for a day at work or throw a jacket on top for the evening.
