I've never had toe socks, are they comfy?


I think so Em before I tried them I doubted it. I’d say get some if they’re not for you I’ll buy them off you (provided there the right size)

I’ve got injinji socks. They’re difficult to get on because I have weird toes but surprisingly comfortable once I’ve wrestled them into position!

I wear altras GG! I have escalante which are very lightweight and I have Torins for if I want a little more support and I have altra superior 4 for trail although I have yet to find a pair of trail shoes that are comfortable!

I have been out Christmas shopping for ideas but didn’t buy anything!

Thanks jelly I’ll have a look. Hoping to get to the running show next year so if they’re there and I can try on I will get a pair. It’s so hard when mainstream stores don’t sell them. Amazing wardrobe is pretty good though. (And why Amazon is winning in the shopping stakes imho)

I bought two pairs of Balega socks from Sports Direct recently. They were £8 each or two for £13. They’re lovely socks, nice and thick, but not too thick to wear with running trainers.

haha deal GG, I'll get some and try them (I'm a 7?)

I fear I may be more in the dislike camp, unless I can't feel them, I'm not a fan of having anything on my feet, at the moment, WFH (Yay) I wear massive slipper socks. They are so warm and comfy and I can't feel I have them on. I'm not a fan of socks that are tight on the ankle either, I find that annoying, in the winter I run in a skort and thick tights mostly, then I don't have to worry about socks disappearing into my trainers! Much warmer too.

I’m a 6 they’d be fine but they are marmite. I am often barefoot in my trainers.

At home it’s barefoot or my most amazing slipper boot things god I love them. I dread the thought of ever being in the office regularly although I have warned them posh frocks and heels have been replaced with Lycra and bare feet. 🤪

I was looking for knee high socks to keep earring my skort through winter then figured my black/reflective leggings would be fine never thought of tights! Genius!!

About This Thread

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.
