Great Running Socks for a Good Cause

All Balega socks incorporate a hand linked toe closure which eliminates abrasion across the top of the foot and a knit extra deep heel pocket to ensure they fit the foot perfectly and don’t slide during activity.  Take your part in supporting a great organization & even greater cause by purchasing and wearing Balega Neon Socks on race day!
