Incylence running socks are the running socks I’m using for a few years now. In the past I tried different running socks from different companies. A lot of running socks are produced by running shoe companies. But from my point of view, socks from running socks companies are better.
I purchased all Incylence running socks with my own money and no one has payed me to write this review. It’s my honest opinion on the running socks I’m using.
About Incylence
Incylence is best described with their mission statement:
We develop high-quality cycling and running socks that are unique in style and identity. For everyone who starts before dawn and conquers the twilight. For everyone who pushes themselves to stand out from the crowd. For everyone who does it over and over and over again.
Let’s find out, what I think about the socks.
First thoughts about Incylence running socks
Incylence running socks stand out. They have a unique design and to me personally it’s a pleasant design. They produce running socks you can pair with any running shoe out there and if you don’t find a color match you still have the option to buy running socks that are black / grey or with a quote.
Performance of the socks
We runners spend a lot of time researching running shoes but not so much running socks. Over the last years I found, that running socks are important. They protect our feet and therefore should be both comfortable and protective. If they are good looking that’s just a bonus.
I use Incylence Running low cut and Ultralight low cut socks.
Incylence Running socks have more cushioning and are a bit thicker. They are best suited for running shoes with enough room in the toe area and for running in colder temperatures. The extra support in the socks make them also a great option for recovery runs and longer easy runs.
The socks hug the feet nicely. There is no pressure anywhere. In my opinion this is a very comfortable running sock. I just wouldn’t use it for faster runs like interval sessions, tempo runs or even races.
Incylence Ultralight socks on the other hand are, as the name suggests, thinner. Therefore more breathable. They are my go to running socks for tempo runs, interval running and racing. I also use these socks during summer months, when it’s warmer outside and in running shoes that have a tighter fit.
Same as the Running socks, the Ultralight hug the feet nicely. They don’t have any extra cushioning but they are more breathable. Just what I need during faster runs, in the summer or during races.
Durability
Incylence running socks are very durable and long lasting. I still use the socks I purchased two years ago. True, for races and some key longruns I go for never socks but for everyday runs even the older socks are fine.
With time the midfoot compression can get a bit tighter and they loose a bit of the elasticity. That’s something to keep in mind. Therefore I always have a pair or two of new socks for my races.
All in all I’m very satisfied with Incylence running socks and would recommend them to anyone looking for good quality running socks, that last long, provide good cushioning and an overall good feel while wearing them.
