What socks do you wear?

i wear holeproof ankle socks. the new range has 'copper' which fight odour. Woooo!

 

I wear Mizuno ankle socks.. they match my Mizuno shoes

 

i wear a assortment of nike and adidas socks, mostly nike ones. my favorite pairs are these nike shox which are cushioned on the toes and heel, then i have a pair that are similar that are "quarter" which also have a thicker bottom and a thin mesh-like top. if i am playing for more then 2 hours then i need to wear 2 pairs of socks because of blisters and sweating. so for that i have one pair of special nike socks that are like "anti-blister" and their super super thin polyester type that goes underneath then a cushioned sock over top. very comfortable and i never get blisters, slipping in the shoe and it sucks up all that insane sweat that my feet make :O

 

I wear Asics Tiger black color, no show (low cut) socks. They are 100% cotton socks. So any 100% cotton socks will do.

Why so simple?

I need my socks to move as little as possible inside my shoe. I need max friction to avoid the slipping and sliding of my feet inside the shoe.

I used to wear microfiber type, advanced space age socks and I got blisters. Even with two pairs. Why? Because my feet would slip and slide.

I tried just about everything: Thorlo, Sole, Columbia, Wigwam, Smart Wool, DeFeet, DryMax, Lorpen UnderArmour, Nike, Adidas, Asics, Saucony, Brooks, Balega, Feetures, North Face, Ultimax, and my favorite for running, WrightSock Dual layer:

I went back to good'ol 100% cotton and TA-DA! no more blisters.

As for padding/cushioning/ergonomics, I let the insole take care of that, Super Feet.

Also, cotton absorbs sweat the best, there's not enough air flow inside the shoe to dry the socks in the amount of time we play. If my socks become too wet, I just change them. But this is rare. This is also the reason why I wear 100% cotton sweatbands instead of microfiber type.

Of course each person's different and your mileage may vary. I say go with whatever works best for you.

great cushioning, no blisters, socks dont move in my shoes and they provide extra bounce too lol. i think they're great. u can really tell the difference from standard cotton ankle socks. also they are slightly higher than ankle socks - to provide a little bit of ankle protection.

btw dont get the run 900. they are knee length.

 

i used to wear adidas socks. it is thin but ok. when i bought my mizuno shoes, there was a sale on socks and it looks good so i bought 2 of them. went back to ipoh, tried it out, love it so much, i went back to kl and bought another 4 pairs. hahahaha. it is thicker than the adidas. but not uniform thickness. it is thicker on some parts than others. got ribs in the middle which i think supports my feet a lot more than the old socks. love em to bits. if ever there's a sale again, i'll surely get more of these. i wanted to try nike ones because i have used nike socks before and they are very very comfortable but they are a bit more expensive.

^^Have you worn that pair already??..^^

..if you have, then i must say that's the cleanest looking pair of used socks i've seen...

 

indeed, i have worn it many times before. in fact, in some places, the thickness have been reduced a bit due to friction in shoes. i rotate four pair of socks. and thankfully i dont sweat that much so it remains relatively clean. and i only wear those for badminton. anyway, i'll take it as a compliment, thank you.

 

the ideal socks i could imagine would be thick comfy socks with air circulation on the soles and the top of the foot. it doesnt matter if it ankle or traditional high.

but i guess ankle socks is the current trend, i personally prefer ankle socks for the looks and theres more air for my legs. plus it shows my cavs.
yeah yonex has a nice pair of socks good for badminton.

 

Lol, i use Champion Moisture Wicking socks. They're so awesome. No sweat

 

i just wear some white ankle socks, i cant remember the brand if there is even one...but there good the bottom is more padded in a sense and all so they feel good when im playing.

 

does your country sell original badminton equipment & accessories from Japan? It's the best quality and most comfortable i find so far. Nothing come close to it. Socks not only provide protection to your feets from injury & shock absortion, it also reduce friction betw legs & the shoes. Finally, your legs are the one that have the most contact with all types of surfaces, so why stingy on it, you deserve better treatment.

 

i used SOTX socks which are soooooooooooooooooo comfy and made from towel so are super absorbent so no sweat at all. and look sweet too

 

World without sock = sucks

Well.... for me socks that is 100% cotton and not into ankle socks. Reason is that i always wear my ankle guard for protection. Meaning that ankle is out of my list. Prefer thick comfy~softy feel socks materials also give cushion like action when jumping, absorb the dampering effect.

But same time, i do add shoe sole pad to more comfort to prevent major shock when landing from jumps. Brands? As long it is a familiar brands, i don't mind.

 

Try this:

 

i bought this pair of socks but found it too thin. prefer these thick socks:
