What it is
A crew-height running sock, knitted left and right specific and sold in packs of two pairs. The knit is 180 gsm with a small amount of elastane. Cushioning is placed rather than uniform: there is a denser pile under the heel and across the forefoot, and a plain mesh across the top of the foot where cushioning would only add heat.
Why left and right
A foot is not symmetrical, and a sock knitted to a generic shape has to compromise on where the padding sits. Knitting a left and a right lets the heel pocket and the forefoot pad land where the load actually is. It also means the sock stops rotating around the foot over a long run, which is the usual cause of a blister under the arch.
Construction
The toe seam is linked flat rather than overlapped, so there is no ridge across the toes. A ribbed band runs across the arch to hold the sock in place inside the shoe. The cuff is a plain rib, firm enough to stay up without leaving a mark.
Care
Cold wash, hang dry. Turning them inside out first gets the grit out of the pile, which is what wears through a running sock long before the yarn gives up.
