Why the right socks will help your run

Apparel review: Under Armour Run Cushion Crew Socks

Vikes Rating: 9/10

Who would’ve thought socks made such a difference?

I have been wearing common cotton, spandex blend athletic socks for running because I just didn’t know how proper socks impact your run. After receiving two pairs of the Under Armour Run Cushion Crew Socks as a birthday gift, my feet have felt better overall. I have since bought two more pairs for myself because I loved them so much.

How do these socks fit?

With having flat feet, the extra arch support in these socks goes a long way. They have a left/right fit to always be sure the extra support is in the correct position. They reach halfway up my shin, so not too long and they are nice and snug to prevent any chafing or blisters.

How do they look?

There are five different colors available; black/green, yellow/black, black/grey, afterburn orange/yellow and royal blue/yellow. Bonus: Under Armour added a reflective logo on the back that is great for the night or early morning runner.

How to take care of them?

When I’m ready to wash them, they never smell due to their anti-odor technology. Because of the material they are made of, I wouldn’t recommend putting them in the dryer as it could ruin the socks. The Under Armour Run Cushion Crew Socks has a material that wicks sweat and dries really fast so you could hang them up to air dry after washing them. I purchased this clothing drying rack that is handy for my laundry room.

Would I recommend them?

I would definitely recommend these socks. They are comfortable, have great support and I have never had a single blister wearing them. These socks are made for runners! As of 2020, these socks are rated 5 stars on the Under Armour, Amazon and DICK’s Sporting Goods.
