Putting miles in on any surface (treadmill, track, pavement, or trail) shouldn’t have to mean uncomfortable feet. Instead, start with the footwear that will put as much comfort as possible into your run, like the Smartwool Run Targeted Cushion Low Ankle Pattern Socks. They start with cushion on the places that feel the impact the most—the ball and heel of the foot—and add in other feel-good features like mesh zones for breathability, a Virtually Seamless™ toe, and an Achilles tab to prevent slippage. Plus, because they’re made with responsibly sourced Merino wool, they’re naturally odor-resistant and temperature-regulating. And, with Indestructawool™ technology, they’re built to last. Available now at Alamo Shoes in Chicago.
