When it comes to running, most people focus on finding the perfect pair of shoes. But ask any experienced runner, and they’ll tell you the same thing – your socks are just as important.
Whether you’re training for a marathon, stepping out for your very first mile, or jogging to keep fit, the right socks can make all the difference. Poorly chosen socks can lead to blisters, overheating, and general discomfort, while the right pair will keep your feet cool, dry, and supported.
So, what exactly makes a great jogging sock? And why do our Ayrshire Mohair Socks stand out from the crowd?
What Is a Jogging Sock?
A proper jogging sock is designed specifically to:
- Increase ventilation to keep your feet cool
- Wick moisture away to reduce sweat build-up
- Provide light support without adding bulk
- Reduce friction to prevent blisters
Standard cotton or synthetic socks might be fine for everyday wear, but they simply can’t compete with technical jogging socks. Cotton holds onto sweat, leaving your feet damp and prone to rubbing. Cheap synthetic socks can cause overheating and discomfort during longer runs.
Why Mohair Is the Perfect Fibre for Jogging Socks
Here’s why mohair is a game-changer for runners:
✅ Breathable and moisture-wicking – Mohair’s smooth fibres allow air to circulate naturally and wick sweat away, keeping your feet dry.
✅ Temperature regulating – It keeps your feet cool in summer and warm in winter.
✅ Naturally antibacterial – Helps prevent odours, even after long runs.
✅ Hardwearing yet soft – Mohair is incredibly durable while still feeling soft against your skin.
✅ Straight fibres mean less friction – Reduced rubbing equals fewer blisters.
Unlike standard running socks made purely from man-made fibres, mohair offers natural performance without compromise.
