In this review I paid for the item but I may get a commission for sales from the link in the blog but you will pay the same price as you would otherwise. Thankyou for helping to support the site.
The Rockay Flare Running Sock is made from 100% recycled ocean waste. It features a cushioned toe and heel and breathable mesh zones on top to help keep your feet cool and moisture free. They also use polygiene anti-odor technology to prevent your feet smelling like the sea even if they are made from things from the sea.

In Depth Review
In the Summer months I’m always looking out for a thin pair of breathable socks that keep my feet dry and cool on trails. Whats interesting about these socks is that they are made entirely from recycled materials from waste found in the ocean so you get the added benefit of having a positive impact on the environment too.
Fabric
The Rockay Flare socks are made from a lightweight breathable mesh that’s designed to keep your feet cool and dry. The fabric wicks moisture away from your feet. There is an anti-odor coating on them too to help keep ‘that sock smell’ at bay.
Fit
These socks have a good snug fit without being too tight. Rockay reckon they have a slight amount of compression to them as well.
Polygiene
The socks are made with a fabric called polygiene that helps fight odors and bacteria that cause odor.
Verdict
The Rockay Flare Running Sock is made from 100% recycled ocean waste. It features a cushioned toe and heel and breathable mesh zones on top to help keep your feet cool and moisture free. They also use polygiene anti-odor technology to prevent your feet smelling like the sea even if they are made from things from the sea.

About Rockay
Rockay is a premium running apparel brand with a mission to provide runners with world-class products while helping the world out of the environmental crisis it is facing.
This is done by sourcing fabrics that can be recycled and by turning plastic into fabrics. While we are not quite there yet, but is our long-term goal!
All of this will be achieved while not compromising on the quality of the products in any way. We are committed to making the best products for runners on the market. You can learn more about Rockay in the press here.
Rockay was created by the founder – Daniel Chabert and his passion for running. He realized that the world does not need another average running brand as there are already too many of these. In addition, the need for sustainable textile production has never been bigger. Every year over 80 million tons of plastic is thrown into the oceans and the textile industry can help clean this up by turning it into clothing.
