4. Which This Way Socks are best for cycling?
For cycling, we recommend Avo Active (cushioned for long rides) or Candy Cadence (bold statement colour for kit expression). Both feature moisture wicking construction and moderate arch support suitable for long distance cycling. Cloud Pace also works well for cyclists who prefer understated white.
5. Which This Way Socks are best for running?
For running, we recommend Pink Pulse (best for everyday runs), Blue Bolt (for speed and short runs) or Happy Pace (daily trainer). All colourways feature seamless toe anti-blister construction and padded heel support to soften the heel strike which make them ideal for running.
6. Which This Way Socks work for the gym?
Our top recommendation for gym is Cloud Pace with its clean white, versatile look, comfortable for weights or cardio. Blue Bolt also works well for those wanting subtle colour. All colourways feature the same construction well suited to gym training.
7. Are This Way Socks anti-blister socks?
Yes. The seamless toe and moisture-wicking construction prevent two things that cause running blisters: friction and damp feet. Most blisters happen at the toe which is why our anti-blister seamless toe matters most.
