The Inov8 Speed Sock Low is a genuine, stripped back race sock. The added compression zones provide the support required for a light and fast race sock.
Inov8 says:
Increased compression and fast-wicking, durable materials make this perfect sock for fast running over all distances.
Inov8's Speed Sock Low gives you exactly that, speed. The synthetic materials used are fast-wicking and durable ensuring heat and moisture do not cause any problems. These socks are very durable and are designed to race in a range of conditions and distances.
The increased compression around the midfoot and ankle provide additional support aiding blood flow and reducing swelling. This is coupled with additional heel and toe padding which keeps blisters at bay on longer runs and the lower cut of this Low sock is simply to reduce excess fabric and weight. These are not socks designed for warmth and general comfort but to excel in race conditions.
