When it comes to stocking up on quality running socks, those $20 pairs can add up quick, which can make having enough to last between laundry loads feel like a lofty ambition. Thankfully, Amazon's Prime Day sale is here, running from July 11 through July 12, and one of our favorite sock brands, Balega, has some sneaky deals on select pairs for Prime members.
Okay, 20 percent off a pair of socks might not seem like enormous savings, but a few dollars can often make the difference between comfortable, well-ventilated socks and cheaply made, ineffective alternatives. These deals will surely take the edge off as you take a step up in quality, and we know your feet will ultimately thank you for it.
Balega Silver Antimicrobial No-Show Compression-Fit Running Socks
As far as we’re concerned, Balega makes some of the best running socks money can buy. Carefully designed with runners’ needs in mind, they boast features like a contoured fit, extra support in the heels, and ventilated mesh at the toes. They're all made with a cool, sweat-wicking polyester and nylon blend (with just a hint of elastane for stretchiness), and they all manage to feel like substantially cushioned socks without feeling bulky or overly squishy.

Those features are just the foundation, though—beyond that, specific pairs are optimized for different runners and running styles. Need extra arch support? Do you blister easily? Maybe you want to wear your socks again without your running buddies plugging their noses? These models have your needs covered. And if you want to save a good chunk o’ change as you complete your collection, you only have these two days before the deals are done.
