Merino running socks with targeted cushioning and breathable zones for comfort, control, and all-around training performance.

The Smartwool Run Targeted Cushion Ankle Socks are designed for runners who want a balance of comfort, durability, and lightweight performance. With cushioning placed only in key impact zones, these socks help reduce foot fatigue while maintaining a low-bulk, responsive feel inside modern running shoes.

A Merino wool blend naturally regulates temperature, wicks moisture, and resists odor, helping keep feet comfortable during short workouts and long training sessions alike. Body-mapped mesh zones increase airflow where heat builds, supporting breathability during high-output runs.

Smartwool’s 4 Degree™ elite fit system delivers a secure, performance-oriented fit that prevents slipping, bunching, and hot spots. Reinforced with Indestructawool™ technology, these socks are built to withstand repetitive motion and friction. The ankle height provides a bit more coverage than low-cut styles while still keeping weight and bulk to a minimum.
