More Mile socks...

Has anyone bought these from Amazon and found that they’ve shrunk a ridiculous amount? Mine are size 5.5-8 and I’m a size 6 but after just a couple of washes and tumble drys they’ve shrunk so much I can hardly get them on! Procrastinating....week 6 run 3 today.....😂

Yes! I was so pleased with my fetching bright blue socks, but after a couple of washes (on a cool wash) they look like kiddies' socks!

Pleased it’s not just me and my non existent laundry skills!

The only way to find if they still fit is to pop them on and go for a lovely run! 😅

They’re on - stretched on - and the run is done 😂

More Mile stuff tends to be quite cheap which is fine for most clothing but you need to look after your feet. I find that the Decathlon stuff is really good value.

Great, Thankyou - I will buy some!

I have Decathlon socks, surprisingly good for the price, think mine were £3 for 2 pairs and they have done me for 12 weeks so far, still going strong.
