It's getting serious now !

[chunkypie]

New Shoes on order & Running Socks on order. Tbh I must of led a sheltered life I never knew Running Socks existed until last week 😄 is this the early signs of an addiction ??

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

If course its a early sign of addiction, well done on buying proper running shoes and socks to match.

[nowster Graduate]

Nah! Until you have more running shoes than me, you're not addicted. And I wasn't even a runner until I started C25K.

[Smile23 Graduate]

I am sorry I mentioned running socks last week and opened a huge can of worms😜sorry for creating an addiction 😁

[chunkypie Graduate in reply to Smile23]

😄😄 I hold you responsible for my saturday turning into a sock shop expedition

[nowster Graduate in reply to chunkypie]

Sock Shop doesn't stock my sort of socks. They need to have toes. See avatar photo.

Was it you?!! I’m now 17 quid down on a pair of rockays haha

[Jnubster Graduate]

I’ve only just heard of running socks 😳 feel like I’m missing out!! So I’m having a quick look

[Smile23 Graduate in reply to Jnubster]

Oh no it’s getting worse😩i feel a running sock pandemic 🤣🤣🤣

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Smile23]

Think you’ve started something now 🤣🤣

[Reggit Graduate]

I was managing quite happily until a week or so when someone mentioned running socks, so I bought some to see what they where. Then decided to buy new running shoes to match - my old ones actually had the wrong support for my gait so feel that was justified!

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Reggit]

Can I ask do you feel the socks make a difference?

[Reggit Graduate in reply to Jnubster]

Not sure to be honest as I changed my shoes at the same time.

They are padded on the heels and toes so must be better than normal socks.

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Reggit]

Great thanks 👍🏻

[Smile23 Graduate in reply to Jnubster]

Tho ones i bought feel padded and supportive and very comfy. Only ran a couple of times in them but the seem great. I thought a sock was a sock!

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Smile23]

Me too!! Thanks

[Islandmacmum Graduate]

Haha! I didn’t know they were a thing either until a couple of weeks ago. 😄 I’ve also treated myself to new running shoes as well as the socks - can’t quite believe it’s me.

I have gone through a LOT of trainers over the years! I have stupid flat feet and over pronate so I unfortnaly can’t have what I want (the pretty ones) and have to have motion control or my ankles grind, my calves kill and my knees and lower back hurt x so I’m used to the trainers addiction but the socks business is entirely down to this site! I am going to be so poor now hahah

[chunkypie Graduate in reply to Hidden]

🤔 Might start a GoFundMe page for running socks 😆

[Smile23 Graduate]

I bought a triple pack form amazon all slightly different styles for£12? Just to see which suits before buying more. They are all great the make was more miles😁

[Purpleish Graduate]

Haha! Definitely a sock pandemic. I’ve just invested in the 3 pack of More Miles socks after reading about running socks on here 😂

[RunGirl1989 Graduate]

Uuu what shoes have you ordered? 😀

Well I found out about the running socks straight after my first run of week 1 - because I had blisters and asked on the forum here how can I manage this - I was advised the running socks and gosh it did made the difference!

[chunkypie Graduate in reply to RunGirl1989]

They are asics, Theres two of them and they have laces. Thats about as technical i can get with them Gel-Venture 7 i think. They are Trail Running ones due to most of my running is off road and forest. I had probs finding stock my size so was very limited to choice. But they were on offer so id thought id give em a go.

[RunGirl1989 Graduate in reply to chunkypie]

That "on offer" part is definetely a deal breaker 😄

[chunkypie Graduate in reply to RunGirl1989]

Yep i fell for it How was your run today ?

[NotAM Graduate]

I feel the need to buy running socks now to join the club 😂

Although, I may wait until the next month for my wedding anniversary and maybe hubby will buy these for me (instead of flowers 💐) 😂 (never In a million years I would expect to say that I want socks not flowers 😂

[chunkypie Graduate in reply to NotAM]

How are your Knitting Skills, Just saying there a biz opportunity for socks on here lol

[Couchphoenix Graduate]

Definitely an early sign of addiction, you’ll be asking for running gear for your birthday and Christmas next.
