They're designed for men who understand that proper kit extends all the way down to what you wear on your feet.
If you're tired of socks that slip down mid-workout, lose their elasticity after a few washes, or leave your feet uncomfortable during long training sessions, you'll appreciate the quality built into these designs. They work for athletes at every level, from beginners building their workout wardrobe to experienced trainers who know exactly what they want from their gear.
When to Wear These Socks
Men's crew socks provide excellent coverage for weightlifting sessions, where they protect your shins during deadlifts and keep you comfortable through multiple sets. The taller design works brilliantly under joggers or track pants, making them ideal for outdoor runs in cooler weather or gym sessions where you want that extra bit of coverage. They're equally suited to daily wear when you need socks that can handle hours on your feet.
Trainer socks and invisible socks excel during warm-weather workouts, high-intensity interval training, and any activity where you want minimal bulk. Their low-cut design sits below the ankle, creating a clean look with running trainers or cross-training shoes. These styles are perfect for summer training, indoor cycling classes, or any session where breathability matters most.
Key Features
Moisture-Wicking Fabrics
The fabrics used across this collection draw sweat away from your skin, keeping your feet dry during intense sessions. This moisture management helps prevent discomfort and reduces the likelihood of blisters forming during long workouts or runs.
Reinforced Construction
Strategic reinforcement at high-wear areas like the heel and toe extends the lifespan of each pair. These reinforced zones maintain their integrity through repeated washing and wear, so your socks stay supportive session after session.
Secure Fit Design
Elasticated arch support and cuff bands keep these socks exactly where you want them throughout your workout. You won't need to adjust or pull them up mid-set, allowing you to maintain focus on your training rather than your gear.
Multi-Pack Value
Available in convenient 3-pack and 5-pack options, these socks make it easy to stock up on essentials. Having multiple pairs means you'll always have fresh socks ready, whether you're training daily or simply want to reduce laundry frequency.

FAQs
What's the difference between crew socks and trainer socks for men?
Crew socks sit higher on the leg, typically reaching mid-calf, which provides extra coverage and warmth. They're brilliant for outdoor training in cooler conditions and for activities like weightlifting where you want shin protection. Trainer socks, also called ankle socks or invisible socks, sit below the ankle and create a minimal look with running trainers. Choose crew socks for coverage and trainer socks for breathability and a streamlined appearance.
How should men's socks fit for training?
Proper-fitting socks should feel snug without being restrictive, with no bunching or excess fabric that can cause blisters. The heel pocket should align with your heel, and the arch support should sit comfortably against the arch of your foot. Elasticated cuffs should stay in place without cutting into your leg. If socks slip down during movement or feel too tight across the toes, you'll want to adjust your size.
How do I care for my men's socks to make them last?
Wash your socks inside out in cold or warm water to preserve the fabric and elasticity. Avoid using fabric softener, which can break down moisture-wicking properties over time. Air drying is best, but if you use a tumble dryer, choose a low heat setting. This care routine helps maintain the shape, fit, and performance features of your socks through countless training sessions.
Can I wear these socks for activities other than gym training?
Absolutely. These men's socks work brilliantly for running, cycling, hiking, team sports, and everyday wear. The moisture-wicking properties and comfortable fit make them ideal for any activity where you're on your feet. Many people find them more comfortable than regular casual socks for daily use, particularly if you walk a lot or spend long hours standing.
What materials are used in Myprotein's men's socks?
These socks typically feature a blend of polyester, cotton, and elastane. Polyester provides moisture-wicking properties and durability, cotton offers natural breathability and comfort, whilst elastane delivers stretch and shape retention. This combination creates socks that feel comfortable against your skin whilst maintaining their performance features through repeated wear and washing.
Who designs Myprotein's men's socks?
Myprotein's in-house design team creates all the socks in this collection. They focus on combining functional features with straightforward styling, ensuring each pair delivers the performance you need without unnecessary complications. The team understands what active individuals require from their training gear, which shows in the practical details built into every design.
How many pairs of training socks should I own?
This depends on your training frequency and laundry schedule. If you train daily, having at least 7-10 pairs ensures you've always got clean socks available. For those training 3-4 times per week, 5-6 pairs usually suffices. The multi-pack options make it easy to build a solid rotation, and having extras means you won't need to do laundry as frequently.
Do these men's socks come in different colours?
Yes, the collection includes classic colours like black, white, and grey marl in various combinations. Black socks offer versatility across different training outfits, white provides a clean look with lighter trainers, and grey marl hides wear whilst matching multiple colour schemes. Multi-packs with mixed colours give you options for coordinating with different workout gear.
