Nike Spark — $18.00
The combination of solid padding (but only in the areas that count), a snug fit, and thoughtful tab design make these lightweight, supersoft, comfortable socks a runner’s delight. Ranging in sizes from a Women’s 5.5 to a Men’s 16, there’s a fit for practically every foot—and the color combinations add a fun punch of vibrant hues, too.

Lululemon Power Stride Anti-Stink Ankle Sock — $18.00
Where to even begin with these? Perhaps with the incredibly silky material, or maybe the arch support and “ergo toes” design, or even the anti-stink yarns to inhibit bacterial growth and… well, stink. The entire collection of Lululemon’s Stride socks are impeccably designed, but these, in particular, are one of our favorites for a variety of activities and workouts.

Alo Yoga Throwback Sock — $18.00
While the Alo Yoga Conceal sock (with a nice little heel grip) for everyday sneaker wear is one of our favorites, this retro gym-class-inspired crew sock is just such a classic, and so fun. Supersoft yarn, plush cushioning, and a variety of color combinations make this sock a simple pleasure.
