1095miles – running blog

I’m not one to lay down £12 on a pair of socks without thinking ‘have I finally lost it?’. The speed demon sock seemed to make sense though. It’s a lightweight sock material with added fuzzy padding around the forefoot and heel areas. Have a look at the picture, it logical and makes sense. And you know what else? It works! Damian can wax lyrical about how his three for a fiver sports socks work, but these are fabulous. I ran a marathon and had *one single blister* the size of a 5p piece. They are light enough to breathe well, yet padded where they need to be. I have 3 pairs and they’ve probably all done 300-400 miles so far in all weathers and all temperatures, from -7 degrees to 28.

Verdict: Aside from looking more grey than white nowadays, they seem to have plenty of life left in them and I wholeheartedly recommend them!
