The 14 best golf socks on the market

Golf socks are rather different to the socks you might buy on the high street – they’re designed to provide comfort and support over the course of 18 holes.

A four-mile walk over bumpy terrain places a certain amount of stress and tension on your feet, so golf socks play a key role in terms of your comfort levels.

Here are some of the best golf socks on the market.

1. FootJoy ProDry Crew Socks, £9

True, there are snazzier socks out there, but with FootJoy’s DrySof technology which wicks moisture off your skin, your feet will be extremely comfortable. These socks act as a cushion, and that’s exactly the kind of comfort you want when the ground is firm. As well as black, you can also get these in navy, white, charcoal and grey.

2. Under Armour HeatGear Crew Socks (3-pack), £9.99

Under Armour’s HeatGear fabric provides moisture management to keep you dry, while its anti-odour technology also prevents further distractions.

These socks have dynamic arch support to reduce fatigue and have cushioning in specific zones to enhance comfort. The 3-pack includes a black, white and grey pair, so you have a suitable option to go with whatever trousers/shorts and shoes you choose to wear.

3. Puma Golf Pounce Crew Socks (3-pack), £9.99

These socks have been designed with a moisture-wicking fabric with 360 arch ventilation to keep your feet dry and comfortable as you play. The stretchy fabric guarantees a comfortable fit, plus they have added cushioning around critical key zones such as the heel and toe. The 3-pack includes a black, white and light grey pair.

4. Oscar Jacobsen Crew Socks (2-pack), £12.95

These socks feature a cushioned sole for extra comfort, while an elasticated ribbed top helps to keep them securely in place. The traditional crew design promotes a comfortable fit and is finished off with the smart Oscar Jacobson logo at the ribbed cuff.

5. Glenmuir g.Osiris Socks, £10

Suffer in the cold no more with these thick thermal socks from Glenmuir. With their trademark Heat Holder thermal inner, these winter socks prevent cold from rising from the ground to reach your feet.

Meanwhile, a cushioned inner is technically brushed, creating a soft pile that grabs and retains body heat before recirculating it for lasting warmth. Despite the insulation they provide, the socks are the perfect thickness for your standard golf shoes, and they’re also designed to let excess heat and excess moisture out to keep your feet dry.

6. J.Lindeberg Rolfi Socks, £15.99

These premium quality socks have been made with combed cotton material with Oekotex certified fabrics. They’re also equipped with a frotté bed for extra comfort, while the jacquard knitted bridge and J.Lindeberg text add style.

7. adidas Golf Crew Socks, £14.99

Constructed with supportive mid-foot compression to avoid fatigue, adidas’ crew socks are wonderfully soft and comfortable.

The socks use PRIMEGREEN, a high-performance fabric made from recycled materials to positively impact the environment, too. The 3-pack includes a black, white and grey pair and features the brand’s iconic logo.  

8. Ping SensorCool Crew Socks (2-pack), £14.99

These smart socks feature a cushioned sole for comfort and durability. They’re engineered with SensorCool moisture-wicking fabrics and a ventilating mesh upper construction. Meanwhile, a seam-free toe reduces irritation for superior comfort.

9. G/Fore Wide Stripe Crew Socks, £15

G/Fore likes to make a statement with its golf clothing – and these socks are certainly bold.

However, it’s not a case of style over substance. They contain many excellent technical properties and utilise a superior yarn blend to give the wearer ultimate comfort and a beautifully soft feel. Compression technology boosts performance, while anti-microbial properties prevent the build-up of odours.

10. FootJoy Tour Quarter Socks, £10

TechSof Tour golf socks offer anatomically shaped foot-beds which provide enhanced cushioning in targeted areas of high impact. Elsewhere, breathable mesh inserts are strategically positioned in key areas to boost ventilation.

11. ECCO Tour Lite Crew Socks, £14.99

Anyone who’s worn ECCO golf shoes will appreciate just how comfortable its footwear is – and you can expect the same from its range of socks, too. The Tour Lite socks are made from performance fabrics and are constructed to fit the left and right foot anatomically.

Compression in the ankle region, a seamless toe box, and cushioning at the ball of the foot provide additional support and reduce friction at the toe area.

Low Cut Golf Socks

For the summer, especially when wearing shorts, you’re going to want a few pairs of low cut ankle socks – and, again, there are lots of options on the market suitable for golf.

12. FootJoy ProDry Sport Socks (2-pack), £12.99

Constructed with DrySof to help lift moisture and vapour off the skin, this is the kind of sock you need in warm weather.

These socks also feature superior construction through Spandex, which enhances the fit and aids stretch and recovery. FootJoy reinforces the heel of its socks by double-layering the heel area to provide support and cushioning.

13. Nike Golf Multiplier Low Socks (2-pack), £12.99

These low quarter socks feature Dri-FIT technology that helps your feet stay dry and comfortable while an arch band wraps around the middle of your foot for a supportive feel.

The seams follow the natural contours of your foot to further enhance comfort, while the famous Nike logo adds a touch of style.

14. Under Armour HeatGear No Show Socks (3-pack), £7.99

Under Armour’s HeatGear fabric provides moisture management to keep you dry, with added anti-odour technology, too.

The socks have dynamic arch support to reduce fatigue and have cushioning in specific zones to enhance comfort as you play.
