Blisters & socks

Hi all - I’ve recently been getting a few blisters on my feet and was wondering about investing in some running socks (as well as plasters). Does anyone have any recommendations? I really don’t want any socks that would fall down / slip while I’m running, but I also don’t know anything about running socks! Thanks.

Hiya! Sorry you got blisters. I love the TwinSkin socks and would highly recommend it.

I swear by these from decathlon! I’ve got several pairs of every colour🤣I have such issues with blisters so these are an absolute life saver! They don’t fall down or move at all, and I never get blisters when I wear them for runs. They’re really breathable as well😊 they’re also cheap! I’ve thought about investing in some expensive ones but I don’t see the point as these work perfectly for me!

The sizing is a bit awkward - it goes size 2 to 5 and then 5 to 8... I am a size 5! Would you say they are small fitting?

No but Madam Loris can shrink anything so I go up.

I have 5 pairs of More Mile socks and they’re fabulous. *Touch wood* I’ve never had a blister, even if they get wet going through puddles, and they stay put always. 😀

I bought a couple pairs of Balega running socks and I really like them.
