Why are diabetic socks so important for diabetics? Unfortunately, a side effect of diabetes is a tendency to succumb to foot sores and ulcers, the consequences of which can be very serious (infection / amputation). Consequently, diabetic socks play a very important role in the health of a diabetics feet. Diabetic socks improve circulation and minimise the likelihood of a diabetic getting foot sores and/or ulcers.
This is a question we get asked all the time and despite socks, for some being a boring item, lets face it we spend a lot of time trying to get it right. In our ProLab series we discuss the best running socks for everyday runs, marathons, Hyrox and more.
Walking the Camino de Santiago isn't just a hike; it’s a physical and psychological trial. You’re looking at hundreds of kilometers of varied terrain—from flat, hard-packed dirt tracks and gravel paths to steep, unforgiving asphalt sections that bake in the Spanish sun.
Whether you’re tackling the classic Camino Francés or venturing further, your success depends entirely on your foundation. If your feet fail, the journey ends.
Think of the difference between running in heavy hiking boots versus lightweight racers. When you strip away the excess, you feel faster. It’s the same psychological and physiological "Ferrari Effect" you get when you finish a period of resistance training (like rucking with a heavy pack) and finally drop the weight. You feel light, springy, and agile.
Hyrox places unique demands on your feet. Between 8 km of running, sled pushes, burpees, lunges and carries, your socks become more than just another piece of clothing—they become part of your performance system.
Whether you're preparing for your first Hyrox event or chasing a personal best, here's what actually matters when choosing Hyrox socks.
