Hanneke May 2021 1:48pm, 9 May 2021 73,279 posts	0 Hanneke I found, when I still ran for days on the fells, the only socks that lasted were the smart wool merino ones. They also didn't smell of bog after two wet, muddy runs... Unlike my fell shoes or any other socks. They are usually also conveniently black, brown or grey

Carpathius May 2021 5:08pm, 9 May 2021 20,755 posts	0 Carpathius I've run in Karrimor socks for years, and they used to be hard wearing. The last couple of years they've been awful though: coming apart at the seams or fraying under the heel. One race when my socks actually fell apart with something like 20 miles to go, I had to borrow a pair off a total stranger. TL:DR I need a new sock supplier.
