Summary

ASICS is known to produce quality running socks that not only perform well but are also very affordable. They are about 1/3 the price of a pair of Nike professional running socks – that’s how inexpensive they are.

The ASICS Women’s Quick Lyte cushioning single-tab running socks comes in different sizes and colors. They are sold in a pack of 3, and you should expect at least two different bright, fun colors within each package.

Each sock is made from fabric that comprises 74 % Nylon, 22 % Polyester, and 4 % Spandex.

Now, such material is good for running socks but has a downside.  The fabric attracts dirt, furs/hairs, and lint, as you will notice once you remove them from the dryer.

In terms of size, inside the package, the socks come with a size chart to help you determine which size fits.

However, there have been a number of issues regarding sock sizes sold by ASICS. Let’s say you wear size 7; it is recommended that you get a size 7 ½ or an 8 if you want the socks to fit.

This is another downside to using such fabric. However, these socks are super stretchy, meaning that even if you get a size 7 they will still fit, but you’re going to have to stretch them a bit just to get them on.

As for the design, these socks are lightweight and have protective cushioning around the pressure points, that is, the toe and heel area.

This helps in preventing blisters and sore feet during and after the running session. In terms of sock height, they are low, no-show socks, otherwise referred to as ankle socks.

In addition, these socks have a breathable design, which means that there is good air circulation within the entire foot.

Moreover, they are built to absorb moisture and sweat during an intense running session, thanks to their moisture wick design. This helps keep your foot comfortably dry and fresh even if you are running a marathon.

In contrast, these socks seem a bit too thin. This is a problem, especially if your workout sessions are super intense.

Regardless, the protective cushioning around the toe and heel pressure points mean that wear and tear is not as quick as what you’d experience with normal socks.

Comparisons

The ASICS Women’s Quick Lyte cushion single-tab running socks share a number of similarities with the SoftBreath high-performance running socks. These two sock brands also share a bit of difference, especially in price and material used.

In terms of fabric used to make the sock, the SoftBreath high-performance running socks are made from 86 % cotton, 10 % polyester, 3 % spandex, and 1 % elastic. This is different from the

74 % Nylon, 22 % Polyester, and 4 % Spandex found on the ASICS Women’s Quick Lyte cushion single-tab running socks.

The difference in material affects the price as well. Surprisingly, the sock made from cotton is cheaper than the one made without material.

However, the price difference is not too steep, and the choice between which socks to buy here will depend on personal preference.

The cheaper SoftBreath high-performance sock also comes in more colors than the ASICS running socks.

In terms of sock design, both socks have the same features to help you improve your running experience. Both pairs have a little lip that extends from the back end of the sock. This is designed to protect the Achilles from blistering.

Inside both these socks, there is additional lightweight cushioning, especially on the pressure points, that is, heel and toe. This additional cushioning provides impact absorption to reduce muscle soreness during and after running.

In addition, both sock brands have a moisture wick design which helps to reduce moisture content and sweat within the sock. In addition, both socks provide excellent breathability to ensure that your feet remain fresh and comfortably dry.

Verdict

While it is hard to get very excited regarding a pair of running socks, the No products found. are definitely a pair worth your consideration. They are comfortable, lightweight, and offer effective moisture control.

In addition, they also come in a variety of bright and fun colors that will suit your wardrobe. The only thing to remember when purchasing these socks is to buy a size up; that is, buy socks for 7 ½ if you are a size 7.

An alternative would be to stick to your size, but you are going to have to stretch them a bit before you put them on.

  1. Great review, it is tough to find durable running socks that don’t break the bank. Great socks absolutely makes a difference especially for those on long runs. I always liked Asics shoes, I would think the socks would be of equal quality. Maybe price point was a big factor when choosing the fabrics. I will check them out. Thank you!

      Many times it´s cheaper in the long run to buy more quality, but sometimes it comes together with the price and quality as I believe in this case.

  2. My mom has a pair of Balega socks she ordered from Amazon. She dislikes them because they are so stiff and she can’t move her toes. Thanks for your recommendation, i’ll be sure to show my mom this article and get her to purchase a pair of asics because they have extra cushioning on pressure points

  3. Great article! I love having quality socks even if I have to pay a little more for the quality. These socks have some great qualities such as the moisture management as well as the 1 year warranty. I love a warranty program on socks because it tells me they believe in their product.

  4. I think when it comes to running socks, runners of all levels need to buy a few pairs to try them out to truly see the value they possess. I agree that it might be hard to get excited to buy running socks, but those are the people who haven’t made the investment yet. Does this company make a men’s version as well?

    • Hi, Todd Matthews and thank you.

      Thank you for your kind words.

      Asics is with a product for both genders. One of the best and most respected companies in running gears.

      As I mention in this article; Asics stands for the Latin phrase “anima asana in corpore sano,” which translates to “a sound mind in a sound body.” For more than 50 years, this Japanese company has been manufacturing footwear and sports equipment with this principle in mind.

      It is vital to have in mind that runnings shoes are made with the thinking that the runner use is running socks too. So to get maximum out of the running shoes, it is essential that you use running socks. Plus of course that it is important for your legs which is most important.

      If I can help you with anything else, or if you have any questions, don´t hesitate to contact me.
