HermanBloom May 2012 9:14am, 22 May 2012 895 posts	0 HermanBloom Having put my heel through my second pair of Nike's in as many months, my Asics having a hole in the toe and my pair from the local running ship basically offering the protection of a wet paper towel (through age, rather than anything), I need to get some socks. Does anyone have a type they swear by? I tend to just grab a pair that is on offer at the same time as buying something else, be it shoes, shirt, whatever. I've never really invested any time in looking at socks, which is probably a mistake given some rubbish ones I have had have given me almost as much trouble as wrong shoes.

mblnFERCr May 2012 9:19am, 22 May 2012 208 posts	0 mblnFERCr Thorlo are good, but the ones I've got are quite thick so no good for the sumer - injinji's and hilly twinskins for me.
