Running socks which brand ?

[Kevtrev]

I’m looking to buy some running socks does it matter which brand I buy I have looked on Amazon and I can get a pack of 5 for £12 5 Pack More Mile New York Cushioned Coolmax Sports Running Socks. Opinions welcome as I no nothing about running socks as at the moment I’m just using old sports direct sports socks

I am by no means an expert, just got to week 8. However I find the sports socks you get in Aldi and Lidl really comfy. Fit well, don't move around and feet don't ache.

Thank you 😉

More Miles for me... taken me through every single run, for over three and a half years and ne'er a blister in sight

[Kevtrev in reply to Oldfloss]

They are the ones that are selling on amazon a lot of people say they shrink in the wash is that right? The thing with peoples reviews you get lots of good and lots of bad so are they being picky 😉 as they sound good from what you have told me 3 and a half years is good if you’re saying that they must be very good and thank you as I don’t want to spend a fortune when I don’t need to we’re do you buy yours from?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Kevtrev]

Mine have never shrunk yet... I don't tumble dry them though.... They got me to the finish of my first HM...I love them!!! Get mine from Amazon Multi packs... !

[MarkyD Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Yes, I concur with Oldfloss ! Never tumble dry any sports socks. It seems that (whatever they are made from) sports socks are especially prone to shrinkage. I swear by More Mile socks too. Biggest selection-factor for me is to find socks in a range of colours (not white or black) so that they are easy to find in the airing cupboard at 6am in the morning.

This is going to be a no brainier then thank you markyD 😉

[Kevtrev in reply to Oldfloss]

I know what I’m going to buy then from amazon thank you

[Kevtrev in reply to MuddledGardener]

Confused what do you mean what style?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Kevtrev]

You can get the low ankle or a higher ankle..I have both...and cushioned.

[Kevtrev in reply to Oldfloss]

Right now I get you high ankle I think 😉 running isn’t cheap sport lol 😂

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Kevtrev]

Nope..you can save onn some things.. but some. you need the best you can get to suit you.

[Kevtrev in reply to Oldfloss]

Very true my trainers were not cheap I saved £24 of from Runner’s need and I had a gait analysis neutral shoe so I got Brooks Ghost 11 £96 and they automatically did a price match and got me a deal then I’ve bought 4 tee shirts with moisture transport system that keeps you dry. Running pants. running shorts now running socks. running pouch for phone. I need running Bluetooth headphones the list keeps on going lol 😂

[MuddledGardener Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Oldfloss, which model?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

New York Cushioned..

[Amblerman Graduate]

Like you I knew nothing about running socks. A friend simply said get some merino wool ones so I did. Far from cheap at over £18 (mind you I bought them in New Zealand) but oh so comfy and remarkably they are just odour free. I wouldn't swap them now.

[Kevtrev in reply to Amblerman]

How many pairs did you get for £18 ?

[Amblerman Graduate in reply to Kevtrev]

One pair only. They were Icebreaker brand so can be available in the UK I think. It's a lot for a pair of socks but they can be worn a lot between washes so I only need one pair.

[Amblerman Graduate]

Just the one pair.Honest

[Kevtrev]

Ok not going to happen lol 😂 sorry the mrs won’t let me spend £18 on one pair of socks

[RI78 Graduate]

Hi kevtrev I’ve just bought 6 pairs of cambivo socks from amazon £13.99. They nothing fancy either grey or black. I’ve worn them the last 2 runs and they’ve felt lovely and cushioned and haven’t moved in my trainers. Im no expert so don’t know if they’re a good brand but the reviews were all good and based on my experience I’d buy them again. Hope this helps 😊

[Kevtrev in reply to RI78]

Yes thank you 6 pair that’s good included delivery?

[RI78 Graduate in reply to Kevtrev]

I got them on amazon prime so it was free delivery

[Kevtrev in reply to RI78]

Right with you still better than some of the socks I’ve seen 1 pair today at a outlet £10 for 1 pair they will have to run for me at that price 😉

[RI78 Graduate in reply to Kevtrev]

They can be so expensive can’t they! And not having the experience to know which are better than others it leaves us flummoxed!

[Kevtrev in reply to RI78]

Very true 😉

[RI78 Graduate in reply to Kevtrev]

CAMBIVO 6 Pairs Running Socks for... amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MXBCQSZ?...

[Kevtrev in reply to RI78]

😉👍

[backintime Graduate]

Mine are Decathlon own brand Kalenji, they have a trainer shape. I mean they are ankle socks but they come up enough to cover the back of the trainer and the front tongue so nothing rubs. They have the "tight around the foot bit" too. Not especially padded, but not paper thin either.

[Kevtrev in reply to backintime]

😉👍

[Kevtrev in reply to RunRunRun13]

I know they are expensive 😉
