The first socks designed by podiatrists
Relieve your plantar fasciitis, improve foot stability, and enjoy every stride
Biomechanical technology to take care of your feet, now with three new colors to combine this spring:
Designed by podiatrists. Tested by runners. Backed by science.
Feel the 'Podoks effect'
For daily training, Podoks Running Mid-Calf is your best ally: it reduces big toe stiffness and optimizes foot biomechanics.
If you're looking for a model that offers maximum comfort, lightness, and breathability, the Podoks Running Ankle is your best option.
And for competitions and the most demanding training sessions, Podoks Running High-Calf provides extra support and promotes circulation.
Scientific evidence
Podoks reduces plantar pressure under the first metatarsal head by 25% and pressure on the first toe by 23%, promoting the Windlass mechanism and helping to reduce pain.
Without Podoks: Hyperpressure on the first metatarsal head associated with mild hyperkeratosis (callus) beneath it.
With Podoks: normalization of support, separation of the big toe, and improved biomechanical function are observed.
Our compression stockings will help improve your venous return for optimal recovery.
Running is an experience that transforms the body and mind, but it's also a high-impact sport for your feet. Uneven terrain, changes in pace, long distances... every stride counts, and neglecting the right type of sock can be costly: blisters, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, or inflammation on the sole of the foot .
At Podoks we have designed biomechanical socks specifically for running, with the aim of preventing injuries, reducing pain and improving comfort .
Do you have questions? We'll give you answers.
These are some of the most common questions runners often have.
Why should I use Podoks for running?
Running is a unique experience that can be ruined by foot conditions.
Podoks doesn't make conventional socks: we're a startup founded by podiatrists that has developed the first biomechanical technology specifically designed to reduce plantar muscle fatigue and prevent injuries.
Our socks are patented and backed by scientific studies
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 .
What advantages does Podoks' biomechanical design offer?
While other socks focus only on comfort or breathability, Podoks goes further: they redistribute plantar pressure, improve the biomechanics of your stride, and reduce the cumulative impact of regular running.
How do Podoks help 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.
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.
Should I wear new socks in a fun run?
No. It's essential that you wear socks during your training sessions before any race. We recommend at least two or three runs (10-20 km) with socks to ensure your feet break in properly and to verify there are no friction points with your specific footwear.
Can I use Podoks for other sports?
Absolutely. Our socks are versatile and suitable for running, hiking, trekking, and any activity that involves standing for long periods of time.
Many runners adopt them as their regular sports socks after trying them. Podoks' biomechanical technology benefits any sport.
They are also effective for professionals who spend long hours standing (waiters, healthcare workers, etc.), where the reduction in muscle fatigue makes a difference.
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 can I wash my Podoks?
Wash your socks with mild soap and cold or warm water. Gently wring them out without twisting and hang them to dry overnight.
You can also 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.
