Blimey does anyone still do that, teebs "really"

I ve been through loads of branded socks and they all wear out quick. They are just not designed for 4 hours of solid walking a day unless you buy expensive pro socks which i have tried but found them too hot with wool.

I tend to buy M&S or the higher range Sainsby 80% cotton 20% poly mix. They prob last a few wears till the toes give out to a hole.

I would give very cheap socks a miss as they normally dont last the day and rub your feet.

My socks wear out too, I use 2 pairs now which seems to help, one thin pair and a thick pair over that.

same here with the thick pair on the outside.

don't do it the other way or you will get through the thin pairs very quickly.

why one of each? i find 2 thick pairs too warm!

toenails are short - and I'm sure I'll regret saying this, but, I have the issue at both ends

I believe you can have botox for the front and may I suggest a cork for the back you just knew didn't you

Sweat reacts with the material of the sock and causes uit to break down on a molecular level. That's what I've heard anyway and with cotton that would seem realistuic. The answer is to have them washed asap after wearing and don't have them lying around in the washing basket for 3 days where the damage is done.

washing the socks daily then is the answer? and there was me thinking I could get away with the same pair a whole week...

I went out and got some running socks - they seem to cuddle my feet and so far, I'd say they comfortable. Will report back on how long they last though!

Keep an eye out for Aldi/Lidl doing their running gear and stock up. The socks are good and a decent price. The cycling socks are pretty good too, but I find the walking ones not as snug fitting.

1000 mile heavyweight walking socks. Like walking on air, supposed to be guaranteed not to wear out for 1000 miles, they haven't seen the inside of a RM Magnum though have they! Whatever, having worn out a variety of other work and walking socks really quickly I think these ones are excellent - not cheap but you get what you pay for.
