Who knew, nearly a year ago, that new running socks could make for a happy day? But back then, I remember, I didn’t even know that there was such a thing as “running socks”. Let alone ones with toes. And jazzy colours? I never would have believed it if you told me. 🤣🤣🏃🏼‍♀️🎉

Nice socks really quite snazzy looking. I know what you mean about being happy because of new running socks I couldn’t wait try mine out.

I have always been curious about these - always thought they might make your shoes feel a bit tight but they do seem quite popular. Funnily enough, I have just posted a photo of my new waterproof socks on the Marathon Running and Race Support forum - the joys of being a runner, eh?! 😂Happy running in them! 👍🙂

Oh, just looked at your post. Now I need those as well! 🤣 I’ve had the summer version of these toe socks, and they’ve been great. These are a bit thicker in the sole but toes seem the same. Tomorrow will tell.... 🏃🏼‍♀️👍

Lovely Granspeed, like Sandraj39, I don’t think I could fit the individual toe socks in my shoes. Do let us know how you get on with them.

My shoes have quite a bit of toe room and the socks are actually thinner weave than some of my others, so I think I’ll be ok. Tomorrow’s longer run should tell...

Who knew indeed, my first running gear was all black, because that's what I had (black leggings,black yoga t-shirt, grey trainers, black socks).

Now I'm all colours!

Oh they look great :) I have never tried socks with toes - perhaps I should give them a go.

I really like them! Keep the toes separate so they don’t rub each other. My shoes have a good toe box so plenty of room, but I don’t think they are really much bulkier than other socks. I got some thinner black ones that aren’t as fun but also work well. They do loads of styles. Give it a try. 👍😄
