Hilly socks was founded in 1992 by British running legend Dr Ron Hill MBE and is the sister brand of Ronhill, founded in 1970, also by Dr Ron.

 

Dr Ron noticed that distance runners weren’t wearing performance socks but were suffering the effects of hard racing and training and through foot friction were suffering from blisters and other related issues. As one of the world’s best runners;

 

'Ron had an obsession with detail and the same nous has been applied to the products he designed, including Hilly socks.'

 

After spotting the opportunity within the market he applied the science of his PhD in Textile Chemistry to a range of technical running socks using soft anti-wicking yarns. As the brand grew, so did the technology with the development of the Twin-Skin sock, a double layer sock that prevents friction from occurring on your feet and in turn, blisters from appearing.

 

The running sock can often be an overlooked piece of kit but all of Hilly socks have wicking properties; this transfers the moisture to the outer layer leaving the foot dry and therefore reducing the risk of friction and blisters. In addition all of the socks have other features, including: a seamless toe construction and an arch grip support.

 


Hilly socks are multi-purpose and offer great features for other sports including: cycling, racquet sports, hiking etc. Other key styles in the range are the Marathon Fresh, a lightweight performance style perfect for Half and Full Marathons and the Supreme, a soft and comfortable style, with anti-microbial qualities, anatomical design and under foot seamless toe construction, combined with lots of cushioning.

 

Men's

 

Hilly men’s socks are categorised into urban, trail and compression and are designed to serve all runners on all terrains. The original concept of our performance running socks was created in 1992 by running legend, Dr Ron Hill MBE, a former European, Commonwealth and Boston Marathon champion and also the founder of Ronhill running clothing, in 1970.

 

Our signature style, the Twin Skin, has been slightly tweaked and modified over the years but its purpose remains the same now as it did then – to be the best twin- layer running sock, by keeping the feet dry and reducing friction and in turn helping to prevent blisters.

 

Following in Ron’s footsteps and from our experience as avid runner’s we know how important it is to feeling comfortable in every way possible. Our Supreme Anklet and Socklet are constructed with a premium dry release Wool to give the runner comfort, with an anatomical design and a super-soft feel under foot and in the shoe. The Wool we use is also high wicking and anti-microbial keeping the foot dry and fresh when out for a long training run.

 

Other runner’s favourites include the Marathon Fresh, a lightweight, durable and anti-microbial style which is a hit from any distance from 5k to the full Marathon.  

 

A new addition to our range of socks is the Toe Socklet and Anklet. Due to narrow and often under sized footwear our feet/toes are prone to deform which can cause irritation and blistering. Our Toe socks are constructed to separate the toes so that the foot can splay and function naturally. This sock complements a Foot-Shaped running shoe brand like Altra.

 

All of the range also have key features too, including a seamless toe construction and arch grip support

 

Within our range we have a compression sock and sleeve which help to circulate the blood flow in the lower leg which promotes the recovery of micro muscle fibre damage that we experience when we run.
