I got sock envy!

[Dowat]

During last few weeks having seen beautiful sock pics on here, I suffered an attack of sock envy! I dismissed the notion that I needed running socks, but then, last week after a 9k run, I felt the merest soreness on my toe. It lasted a good 2 seconds; however I thought it foolish to ignore such a potentially important warning signal. And thus I ordered these socks. First outing today for my first 10k and they felt like cushions of air around my feet. Clearly I needed them as I completed the 10k! And not even a hint of soreness on the feet!

Very wise decision 😂

Nice socks even a reminder of what feet to put them on 😂😂

Yep, gotta keep me wits about me now even when putting socks on. Nothing simple these days, lol!!

Lovely running socks Dowat, I suppose if I go for a gait analysis and buy the recommended shoes, I should also buy a good pair of running socks as well.

[Dowat Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Absolutely you should. They come with a high ‘feel good’ factor!

I bought some proper running socks early in and never really thought about it since. Yesterday all my kit was in the wash but I wanted to run. I hauled out my favourite bra, still slightly damp but thought running I damp socks would be a bad idea, so I ran with normal “sport” socks from Matalan. My feet felt like they were slipping around inside my trainers, and I had a few sore patches after - and I only ran 4K. I will definitely be getting more proper socks for future laundry emergencies!!

That’s interesting to know and validates my purchase! Happy sock buying! Enjoy!

It was the only sensible thing to do under the circumstances!

[Dowat Graduate in reply to Debston]

Indeed, quite so!
