1000 Mile socks are the leading brand of blister prevention socks. They are ideal for running and are particularly popular amongst marathon runners because of their blister free features. Blisters can be very common during marathon runners as friction on the surface of the foot can cause the layers of skin to rub together and form a pocket of fluid or blood. These blisters are extremely painful and can have an adverse effect on running performance. So if you're training for a marathon or half marathon, make sure you get some decent anti blister socks from 1000 Mile.

The 1000 Mile Ultimate Performance socks are made from a revolutionary Wool Ultra yarn which is 20% lighter than wool. They also feature padded heel and toe section for added comfort, making them great for everyday wear. 1000 Mile Tri Socks are an ultra thick sock with superb ventilation to keep the feet cold and dry during sports.

1000 Mile Sports’ Socks are the leading brand of blister prevention socks - the choice of many marathon runners who are prone to suffering from the blisters caused by long periods of friction in hot, moist conditions. 1000 Mile Sports’ Socks feature two layers of fabric, the inner layer stays with the foot while the outer layer moves with the running shoe, eliminating friction between footwear and skin. Also, the inner layer of the 1000 Mile sock wicks away moisture from the skin for the outer layer to absorb it, keeping the foot cool and dry. 1000 Mile Tactel Sports’ Socks are also available as socklets or trainer liners.

Blisters form best in hot, moist conditions. Blister prevention socks have an inner layer made from a fibre that wicks away perspiration to the moisture absorbing outer layer, keeping the feet dry. This combination of fibres and movement of moisture maintains a comfortable temperature for the foot. In addition, the inner layer of the sock stays with the foot, whilst the outer layer moves with the shoe, thus eliminating friction on the skin and reducing wear. All these special features of blister prevention socks help to keep the foot dry and blister free.

Support and Compression Socks are designed to apply consistent, gentle pressure to the calf muscles so that venous blood keeps flowing to the heart, and waste products are drained from the tissues via the lymphatic system. It is important to keep the venous blood flowing, especially in situations where you are still for a prolonged period, such as while traveling, or resting following an injury, to prevent your blood flow becoming sluggish and possibly clotting, forming a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Lymphatic drainage is the removal of wastes and toxins from muscle and soft tissue, which can be speeded up by the gentle compression provided by Compression Socks. This helps the calf muscles to recover from training sessions and races more quickly, reducing stiffness and soreness and, in turn, preventing calf muscle injury.

A Plantar Fasciitis Sock is a night splint sock designed to treat Plantar Fasciitis while you sleep. The Plantar Fasciitis Sock fits like a normal sock but, using a Velcro and fabric strip, the toes are pulled back towards the knee, stretching the Plantar Fascia to encourage the fibrous sheath to return to its normal alignment. A Plantar Fasciitis Sock works by holding the foot in this ‘dorsi-flexed’ position throughout the night. Research has indicated that wearing Plantar Fasciitis socks is successful in reducing heel pain and foot pain in over 80% of cases.
