Podoks is the first biomechanical sock for HYROX designed by podiatrists to prevent injuries, reduce muscle fatigue, and improve stability with every step.
The importance of socks at HYROX
In the 60-90 minutes of a HYROX, the feet are subjected to constant stress and continuous biomechanical changes , making the sock a key piece of sports equipment.
Repetitive and prolonged impact
During a HYROX , you cover 8 kilometers of split running, which means thousands of impacts on the ground.
This repetitive load can generate:
- Fatigue in the plantar muscles.
- Overload in the arch of the foot.
- Increased risk of plantar fasciitis.
- Possible metatarsalgia due to constant impact.
- Appearance of blisters due to friction.
Constant changes in surface and movement
Unlike traditional running, in HYROX the feet must adapt to:
- Quick transitions between running and static exercises.
- Different types of support : from running to strength positions such as lunges or farmers carry.
- Multidirectional movements during functional exercises.
- Constant changes in rhythm that require a rapid proprioceptive response.
Specific advantages for HYROX
Podoks socks offer the adaptive biomechanical support you need in HYROX:
Compressive elastic band on the inner arch that increases the dynamic stability of the foot, generating a more secure and effective step.
Strategic padding to control tension in the plantar fascia and plantar muscles of the foot, thus reducing fatigue.
Heel padding reduces impact with each stride, promoting better cushioning while running.
Coolmax fabric with Antibacterial treatment to control perspiration and prevent blisters and fungus. During a HYROX competition, sweating is intense and continuous, making this feature essential.
Designed by podiatrists
Drs. Alfonso Martínez Nova and Fran Monzó lead a team with more than 30 years of experience in biomechanics and podiatric research.
Our socks are not fashion accessories, they are therapeutic tools that improve your well-being.
Which socks to choose?
Recommended models
For both training and competition, we recommend the HYROX Podoks Running PRO and Podoks Running Alto models. Their biomechanical compression technology and shaft height protect the Achilles tendon, control muscle vibrations to prevent periostitis, and improve venous return.
All of this translates into less fatigue, increased performance, and a lower risk of injury between workouts and races .
If you don't feel comfortable with high socks, choose the Podoks Running Ankle Socks , with the same technology but a shaft below ankle height.
If you have discomfort in your calves or suffer from muscle fatigue when running, choose our Compression Socks .
Biomechanical technology
Its biomechanical design promotes greater momentum, greater power, and maximum energy in each stride, minimizing muscle fatigue.
This is crucial in HYROX, where you need to maintain energy efficiency for 60-90 minutes of mixed effort.
Key technical elements for HYROX
The Podoks Running range features padding and a toe separation that provides a more secure grip and improved propulsion, perfect for quick transitions between running and static exercises.

These are some of the most common questions padel players often have about our socks.
Why should I use Podoks for Hyrox?
HYROX is a unique discipline that combines 8 kilometers of interval running with eight functional exercises over a period of 60-90 minutes. This hybrid exercise requires socks that not only withstand the repetitive impact of running, but also adapt to multidirectional movements and constant biomechanical changes.
Podoks socks are specifically designed by podiatrists to reduce plantar muscle fatigue by 25%, optimize biomechanics during rapid transitions, and maintain stability during exercises such as farmer's carries, lunges, and burpee broad jumps. Unlike conventional socks, Podoks offer active biomechanical support that adapts to the specific demands of Hyrox.
How are Podoks different from other technical socks?
Our socks weren't created in a design studio to look great with your sneakers, but in a podiatry clinic. They're designed by podiatrists and have been tested in clinical trials. They're a functional product with therapeutic effectiveness backed by science.
When you put on Podoks, you're putting innovation and technology into your feet to increase the dynamic stability of your foot and optimize the natural biomechanics of your stride.
You can consult the scientific studies here .
Do they really prevent injuries?
Yes, scientific studies support the effectiveness of Podoks in injury prevention. Podoks biomechanical socks reduce plantar pressure under the first metatarsal head by 25% and pressure under the big toe by 23%, promoting the Windlass mechanism and helping to reduce pain.
This reduction in plantar pressure is especially important for Hyrox, where the accumulation of impacts over 8 kilometers of running, combined with weight-bearing exercises like the farmers carry, can overload structures such as the plantar fascia and metatarsals. By optimizing pressure distribution and reducing muscle fatigue, Podoks acts as a primary preventative against overuse injuries.
The socks are especially indicated to prevent plantar fasciitis, sesamoiditis, plantar muscle fatigue, open foot sensation and metatarsalgia.
How do Podoks prevent blisters?
Podoks are made with Coolmax fabric, a yarn compound with an antibacterial treatment that wicks away sweat and keeps your feet dry. And thanks to the open stitching system, they prevent chafing and blisters.
Can I use Podoks for other sports?
Absolutely. Our socks are versatile and recommended for a variety of sports activities: running, track sports, outdoor sports, racquet sports, functional training, and any activity involving repetitive impacts and changes in direction.
Podoks' biomechanical technology benefits any sport. They are also effective for professionals who spend long hours on their feet (waiters, healthcare workers, etc.), where the reduction in muscle fatigue makes a difference.
Which Podoks model should I choose for Hyrox?
For Hyrox, we specifically recommend the Podoks Running PRO (mid-cut) and the Podoks Running Alto (high-cut).
If you are an experienced athlete or prefer the comfort of bare ankles, choose the Podoks Running Ankle Support .
If you regularly run in high socks or suffer from muscle fatigue in your legs, choose Compression Socks for tired legs.
What size should I choose?
Consult our Sizing Guide if you have any questions. A proper fit is crucial for Podoks' biomechanical technology to work properly.
If you are between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger one.
Where are Podoks socks made?
Our socks are patented and we make them in Spain, specifically in Ontinyent.
How should I care for my Podoks?
You can machine wash them in cold water (maximum 30°C) with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Air dry, never tumble dry. With proper care, they will maintain their technical properties for a long time.
Can I use them if I already have foot problems?
If you have plantar fasciitis or metatarsalgia, we recommend using Podoks as a complementary treatment to the one provided by your podiatrist.
What is HYROX?
The HYROX is a hybrid competition that combines running with functional exercises (such as SkiErg, sled, lunges or wall balls), which puts a great challenge on the feet: repeated impact, quick transitions and effort lasting 60-90 minutes.
In this context, technical socks are key to:
- Stability in changes from running to strength exercises.
- Reduction of accumulated muscle fatigue in the sole of the foot.
-
Prevention of overload injuries such as plantar fasciitis or metatarsalgia.
- Moisture control to prevent blisters and chafing.
Podoks biomechanical socks are designed by podiatrists to address these needs. They offer arch support, strategic compression, and high-strength materials that maintain performance without deforming.
Its Coolmax moisture management technology and ergonomic padding help maintain comfort throughout every mile and at every station of the race. Plus, its versatile design adapts to both running and functional exercises, ensuring rapid response and stability throughout all movements.
👉 At Hyrox, choosing the right sock isn't a minor detail, but an investment in prevention and performance . Podoks are ideal for:
- Hyrox competitions and training.
- Athletes seeking maximum performance in mixed efforts.
- Athletes who want to prevent injuries in high-impact activities.
