Socks

On decathlon.com.gr you will find specialized sports socks for every sport and activity! Our collection includes socks for running, hiking and mountain outings, football and team sports, tennis, as well as compression socks, thermal socks (Merino wool), and everyday low or high sports socks. So what are you waiting for? Choose the ideal pair for you!

For long-distance running, the suitable socks are technical running socks with anatomical reinforcement. It is important that the socks you choose feature flat seams or seamless toes to prevent friction, offer extra padding at the heel and toes for shock absorption, and feature an elastic band around the arch of the foot so they do not slip inside the shoe.

Of course! At Decathlon you will find specialized football socks with anti-slip technology. These socks feature special silicone pads on the sole that "lock" the foot inside the football boot. This prevents foot slippage during quick changes of direction, improves stability, and significantly reduces the risk of blisters.

The materials that prevent blisters are synthetic technical moisture-wicking yarns, such as polyester, polyamide/nylon, polypropylene, and natural Merino wool. Remember to avoid 100% cotton, as it traps sweat, remains wet, and increases friction, creating blisters. Technical synthetic and merino fabrics wick away sweat instantly to keep the foot dry, while many Decathlon sports socks use special Anti-Friction yarn in the heel and toe areas to minimize friction.

It is important to wear a clean pair for every workout.
What is the sign that you should get a new pair of socks? Sports socks lose their elasticity and shock absorption after 6 to 12 months of regular use (or about 300-500 kilometers of running). If you notice that the fabric has thinned at the heel, hardened from washing, or the sock no longer fits snugly on the foot, it's time to replace them.
