Runners aren’t like little kids on Christmas—they love getting new pairs of socks. A quality pair of socks can often make the difference between a harsh, chafing-inducing jog and a plush, dry jaunt. And even though Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days is over, plenty of the best pairs are on sale for up to 38 percent off.

Among these deals are discounts on pairs of no-show socks, compression socks, and even compression sleeves for recovery, many of which our test team has recommended for years. While the best price cuts might look small, most of them only being a few dollars, those subtle savings can add up if you make this event an opportunity to stock up on socks. And in case you want to diversify, we’ve sourced as wide a variety of styles and prices as we can to keep your feet happy for the long run.

We can’t guarantee these deals beyond the date and time of publication, but we’ll be sure to come back and update this piece if another worthwhile discount arrives following the mega-sale.

Merino Wool Socks

There are plenty of reasons to love Merino wool, but the most immediate benefit might just be how darn soft it is. On top of that, it wicks moisture off your skin incredibly well, and it also traps odors unlike anything else—an especially big bonus for socks.

That said, it tends to be pricey, so a sale like this is an ideal opportunity to score some Merino wool socks at a less sturdy price.

Performance Compression Low Cut Running Socks

Buying socks in bulk is always a great idea if you’ve found a pair that feels good time and time again, and Thirty48 is offering $6 off select colorways of its tester-approved Performance compression socks.

These low-cut socks have extra arch support in the midfoot for providing some extra stability to your ride, and they also provide considerable compression around the midfoot to keep you feeling snug in your shoes.

Zero Cushioning Micro Tab Running Sock

Also made of Merino wool but weighing less than 2 ounces per pair, this breathable sock from Le Bent provides a breezy bare-minimum feel—it reduces chafing and wicks moisture, but it also doesn't feel like it’s suffocating your feet on hot days. Plus, despite this sock’s thinness, it can still provide some ankle support and absorb plenty of odor.

Compression Socks

Finding a quality pair of calf-covering compression socks for under $30 can make for a laborious search, but this budget sock from Physix wowed our testers with its secure fit and Goldilocks-level balance of breathability and squeeze. And following Prime Big Deal Days, you can take another $7 off a $22 pair, making this a discount worth watching closely.

Recovery Compression Socks

These performance compression socks from 2XU, now 20 percent off, offer maximum compression for the hours after a grueling interval session or race.

Despite having plentiful cushioning and a firm 28 to 33 mmHg of calf squeeze, these socks are exceptionally lightweight and breathable, making them the perfect option for splaying out and drying off tired feet after a hard day.

Calf Compression Sleeves

If you have a favorite pair of socks that doesn’t provide any calf compression, a pair of calf sleeves can alleviate the need for some squeeze on your legs without forcing you to sacrifice your time with your favorite pair of shorter socks.

These Run Forever sleeves are also easier to slip on and off than a pair of compression socks, and you can also add some flair to your fit with patterned and striped pairs.
