What socks do Olympic athletes wear

The 4-year Olympic Games are in full swing again, and athletes shine in their areas of expertise. For athletes, in the sports field for national and personal honor, in addition to year after year, day after day training. Comfortable sports wearing is also essential. Have you ever paid attention to what material and type of socks the athletes need to wear?

The track and field athletes need special shoes to run, sprint, or throw as well as they do. They also need socks to go inside those shoes. Most runners swear by compression socks. They use them as a tool for recovery during and after they are running.

Do wear socks that are breathable and made for athletic activity. You should not wear cotton socks. Instead, wearing acrylic is better, particularly when running.

When you are doing exercise, don’t wear the same socks you’d wear to the office. That is wool or thin socks. Those won’t keep you cool, and they will make your feet stink worse.

This year’s Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo, Japan. Have you heard of Japanese tabi socks?

Tabi socks have many health benefits for the body and foot hygiene. At first glance, its unusual shape attracts curiosity and may seem uncomfortable to put on. However, on the contrary, the Japanese have found the secret of a healthy foot by creating Tabis. Many French people try it and immediately adopt it for its comfort.

The outstanding stability offered by Tabis allows the foot to regain a natural, solid support position as if one were barefoot. This better foot positioning improves the general posture of the body. This is why they are gaining popularity in sports models as it is said to improve performance. The absence of friction with the toe is also an additional comfort when walking or exercising. Our marathon models have been designed with this in mind and are a real gain in comfort for sport—the marathon tabi with an anti-slip system on the sole for increased stability in the shoe.
