purephase May 2020 6:11pm, 3 May 2020 354 posts	Quote Pin purephase HigherState, relatively cheap but by far the best I have worn. I have tried other more expensive brands like 1000 miles (sorry but hate them) but never buy anything else now. Never have blisters with them, comfy, absorbent and last for ages, in fact the first ones I bought well over 5 years ago are still in use.

Looking at staying with merino/wool as I like the slight padding that they give and I never seem to get blisters using them. I tried 1000 mile and got a blister on the side of my little toe so stopped using them. Like my Comprssport but not even, they have any in stock the size I want. I guess it's just going to be a bit of trial and error.

larkim May 2020 9:07am, 6 May 2020 10,977 posts	Quote Pin larkim I've used a mix of MoreMile ones from StartFitness, Aldi special offer ones, Costco bargain multipacks (usually Puma or Adidas) and noticed no difference between any of them - I wear out the big toe, but never blister in rain, shine or otherwise.
PK May 2020 9:11am, 6 May 2020 223 posts	Quote Pin PK As well as the Karrimor ones, you used to get anti-blister Nike twin packs in Sports Direct, which I found to be great. Also like the 1000 miles ones. I wear the trail ones - for no real reason other than they're comfy. Latest batch, though, haven't lasted too long - but they're not too expensive either.
Binks May 2020 9:14am, 6 May 2020 8,001 posts	Quote Pin Binks I like Merino wool ones, very good at temp control and dry out quickly. I had some icebreakers which have worn out a bit now and just got some more merino ones from Runderwear (who do the best pants)
