New waterproof socks😀 - trails here I come! 💦🏃🏽‍♀️

[Sandraj39]

Arrived from Amazon a couple of days ago to replace an identical old pair (which are now quite old and not quite so waterproof anymore!) Very useful on cold wet days, especially if you like splashing through puddles and trudging through mud like me! Very comfy and yes, they are breathable and (mostly!) keep out the water.🙂

Oh wow! Now those I think I might like! Soggy feet are ok...unless you've just started out!

Methinks I need to take a look...trouble is..I am so used to my MoreMile...hmmm

I often run in my normal socks and get soggy feet Oldfloss but wore my old DexShell ones recently and had forgotten how comfy they are - hence the new purchase! Great just for running in the dry too! 🙂

Ha. I’ve wondered about these. I Hate soggy feet! Maybe it’s time to try... 😄

[David_G Metric Marathon]

Thanks Sandra, I’ve ordered myself a pair too!🙂👍

Enjoy Sandra! I got myself a new pair of socks recently but haven’t tested them yet. It’s funny how little things like socks make us happy 🤗

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

..I have to admit I questioned what running has done to me, as I took the photo to share!!😂 Let us know how you get on with yours - which ones did you buy?

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Haha 😂 I know 🙄 I got Hilly ones. They’re the only ones that I find don’t shrink in the wash. Sometimes when I take the others out of the washing machine they look tiny!

I’m not happy with my new socks. Despite the blurb, I got blisters. Much miffed. Bah, sulk ☹️

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Oh no! I won't bother trying them as I'm sure I'll be the same. Currently I have a compeed plaster, then fixomull tape and finally leukotape (the last two were bought as a combi pack). Despite blisters already, with those three layers plus by hilly twinskins I managed to run 18k with very little distracting pain. I call that a result 😍

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Boo boo. Can’t you send/take them back? If they were sold as anti-blister then they clearly aren’t what it says on the tin ☹️

[misswobble Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Yes I can. Such a pity😕

[Joster Half Marathon]

Interesting! Didn’t know they existed. 👍

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon in reply to Joster]

Oh, yes - many different makes out there...they are all quite expensive though!

[Joster Half Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

I’m not a trail runner but dread the day of an event being a downpour and feet getting drenched and socks/shoes maybe would run for the first time. I will investigate!

[misswobble Marathon]

Good for dog walking too i suspect. Could do with em today 🙄😁

Enjoy your new socks! May you have many fun runs together 👍😃🏃‍♀️

[Decker Ultramarathon]

I could have used a pair of these this morning! 🙂Will be checking them out for sure
