A Closer Look At CrossFit And Your Feet

CrossFit has taken the world by storm, and today countless athletes test themselves on a daily basis by embarking on CrossFit training regimens. And while it’s true that you’ll be working out your entire body during your time in CrossFit, it all still comes down to your foundation – your feet.

That’s why it’s so important to take care of your feet and wear good CrossFit socks. Keeping your feet healthy ensures that they’re able to keep you moving throughout your life and throughout each of your workouts.

But what makes a good pair of CrossFit socks stand out as being worth the money? The keys really just come down to socks that are able to give you the comfort and protection you deserve, but let’s go ahead and look at some of the more specific things you should look for when choosing your performance socks.

• Comfort – First and foremost, you’ll want your socks to fit well and keep your feet comfortable no matter how hard you’re working out.
• Wicking – The best CrossFit socks will actually be designed to wick away moisture and keep your feet dry and free from sweat. At the same time, they’ll dry quickly so that they don’t develop nasty odors or other problems.
• Antimicrobial – There are billions of microbes, germs, and other bags that can find their way onto your feet and socks. Antimicrobial socks will fight against these germs and in the process will prevent the growth of bacteria.
• Moisture Resistant – This is slightly different from wicking. While good wicking socks will draw moisture from your feet, they should also prevent moisture from finding its way to the foot. Step in a puddle, and your feet should stay comparatively dry.

These are just a few key elements to look for in crossfit socks. You’re looking for the right blend of comfort, style, and performance and there are plenty of options out there.
