- Active Sports: These are the socks you use when you do active sports. "Active Sports Socks" are different from "athletic socks," because they offer high performance features such as special fibers, triple layer construction or pads to help prevent blisters and abrasion.
- Running Socks: Socks designed for runners or joggers. Running socks generally have heavier padding or cushioning in the heels to absorb vibrations or pounding the feet takes while jogging. These socks come in varying heights from below the anklebone to mid-calf. They usually provide some wicking action to carry perspiration away from the foot.
- Cycling Socks: Sports socks designed specifically for cycling enthusiasts. Cycling socks generally have heavy knitted pads in the arch of the foot where the pedal makes contact with the foot.
- Golf Socks: Socks designed for golfers, particularly during hot weather. Golf socks generally have cushioning and are short and below the anklebone.
- Ski Socks: Socks created specifically to wear in ski boots. Also designed to provide warmth in cold weather. Ski socks have extra padding or cushioning to the front portion of your feet. This extra cushioning or padding helps prevent blisters and protects your feet.
- Tennis Socks: Socks designed specifically for tennis enthusiasts. Can be low cut, below the anklebone or a higher length. Tennis socks generally have extra cushioning near the ball of your feet to protect you during a vigorous tennis match.
