Soft fabrics that reduce the risk of chafing, reinforced panels around the heel and toes and a whole load of moisture wicking are the three things you shouldn't compromise on when it comes to choosing badminton socks. Good hold - we're talking plenty of elastic around the cuff - will stop that annoying 'is my sock bunched up inside my shoe?' feeling. Then it's up to you which style you pick: high, mid-length or low so they don't show.
