Jup's Favorite Sock: Compression Wave & Running Extra light Mini Crew

 

"I’m out on the road running for hours on my events and keeping my feet in good condition and quick recovery is huge. I love the feel and softness of Point6 Socks. They don't slip down in my shoes and are both cool and warm which helps as I hit a lot of different weather conditions on the roads."
