I love socks with merino in them in winter, but they usually seem a bit pricey. Merino layers on my top too.

I like toe socks, handy for yoga, I have just joined a gym for the very first time too. I like long walks at the weekend which can be quite cold this time of the year.

geordiegirl, I wear injinji socks too, especially for ultras. I also have a pair of vibrams. We have a lot in common.

I love my Altra running shoes. These, along with injinji socks I’ve never had a problem with blisters while doing very long distances. I have a broad foot, and the toe box in Altras is generous which is perfect for me. I find them so comfy too.

All this talk of toe socks is making me cringe! Can't bear anything between my toes, flip flops and sandals with toe posts are a definite no.

We have indeed even ultras! I was going to try altras but they looked white thick soles for a minimalist shoe so it’s good to know you find them ok esp in the ultra distance. Which model do you have? I had a disaster before RTTC in that I developed a stress reaction and had to go normal trainers. My normal trainers were causing blister on top of my foot due to a bunion and I ended off in new inov8’s not ideal at all!

I have merell vapourgloves which I also love but not quite wide enough for the pesky bunion.

About This Thread

Maintained by geordiegirl
Instructions for the 2021 edition of Fetch Secret Santa:

1) Send an Fmail to geordiegirl with the name and address you want your parcel sent to by 1st November.

Please indicate if you’re ok to post to an overseas fetchie.

2) Join the group linked to this thread (I have recycled 2020 group so please update with a 2021 at the start so we know it is current)
fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=1296

If you joined last year but don’t wish to partake you can remove yourself from the group.

3) Be Involved..... Please try not to go AWOL the buying of a SS gift is a lovely thing to do but going quiet on the thread/blogs can make it difficult. We’re not asking you to be specific but a few hints around what things make you tick, what you like / enjoy makes it that bit easier and hopefully gets you something you would like.

Of course the main aim is stalking so subtle hints are fine!

4) if you have allergies or particular dislikes then feel free to put them in the group.....

When you receive the details of your victim:

5) Stalk said victim and determine their interests.

Hint.. you can see what threads your victim posts to by typing the below in Google or whatever

VictimsFetchName site:www.fetcheveryone.com

6) Purchase gift(s) you think they will like, we have suggested £10 but up to you and remember handmade gifts are perfect too. It’s the thought that counts.

7) I’m suggesting you post the gift by 1st December as this has helped a successful SS in previous years. But it’s also ok to add an update to the spreadsheet and keep your elf updated so we can let your victim know they’ve not been forgotten. If you are posting overseas please bear in mind it can take longer than UK post.

8) Wait by your post box for your gift.

9) Sit on hands until the big day! No cheating!

On the big day:

10) Open your gift and share with everyone what you got on the thread.
