MH May 2012 10:16am, 22 May 2012 97 posts	0 MH Don't think I would have tumbled them - I usually hang socks and techie gear to dry. (and try not to use the electricity gobbling dryer anyway ..). Anyone tried the Moremile London sock? I heard someone say they were a good cheaper alternative. Although I do get that saying in my head ' buy cheap & buy twice'!!
HermanBloom May 2012 10:30am, 22 May 2012 897 posts	0 HermanBloom Great number of options, thanks. Get paid Friday so will invest in some more expensive ones that will hopefully last a good deal longer than my usual efforts.
Kimbles67 May 2012 10:39am, 22 May 2012 1,736 posts	0 Kimbles67 Runbreeze socks. Been a god send in the last few months. No sore feet on long runs and no blisters. Also use more miles socks. I used to use twin skin sports sock from Sainsburys but they were giving me blisters and sore feet on long runs.
Anna Bomb May 2012 10:42am, 22 May 2012 1,862 posts	0 Anna Bomb I like more mile socks and v cheap at the minute. Probably don't last as long as others but at £2 a pair if you buy 10 you can't really go wrong. Don't like the more mile compression socks though as the foot shape is all wrong.

HermanBloom May 2012 11:03am, 22 May 2012 899 posts	0 HermanBloom Ooh, on the basis I love my Saucony shoes... Findind some decent deals on a few of those mentioned, so might get a few different pairs and do some experimenting.
Fitz May 2012 1:28pm, 22 May 2012 127 posts	0 Fitz And another brand... Wright socks. Runners Need used to stock them and they're ace. when RN stopped stocking them I switched to Hilly twin skin and got blistered immediately. I now buy my Wright socks from manufacturer in the US in packs of ten pairs! wrightsock.co.uk also have them but don't appear to have the full range of styles & colours.

HermanBloom May 2012 1:39pm, 22 May 2012 902 posts	0 HermanBloom I'm going to narrow it down to whatever RunnersNeed is stocking tomorrow. As thanks to Wine Legs' thread I can get 30% off. Seems sensible.
